update
July 7, 2014
We went to the neurologist for Bernie’s Botox treatment for his eyes, and it was also the first visit after sending the doctor Bernie’s MRI from his fall. Bernie’s GP (general practitioner) told us it showed a condition known as normal pressure hydrocephalus however the neurologist disagrees. He says that Bernie has brain atrophy that is normal and classified as normal for PSP, he states that Bernie’s brain is atrophying in all the normal places he would expect in someone with PSP… so good new sort of. He is progressing at a slow but steady pace and I am happy because I thought by now we would be in a much worse position. I hate what this disease has taken from Bernie and our family, and I feel for all the people out there dealing with this same type of issue, a sick loved one.
We all have our crosses to bear and many people are much worse off so I am not complaining I’m just rambling to get my thoughts out in an effort to document Bernie’s journey. Maybe it will be of help some day.
