I mentioned it to my physio last week when I went to see him, he had wanted to know what the bruises were from *cringe*. Luckily I escaped with not a lot more damage than some bruising. The deal was, I had to go and make an appointment with my GP, who I saw yesterday.
My GP is about as thrilled as my physio was. She's increasing my medication by a factor of 8 and I will be admitted to hospital this weekend for more tests. She believes I had three seizures resulting in the falls. I have no recollection of what happened so that's the most likely reason. When we have all the results in and see how the medication increase goes, we'll know what is what. She is holding off on a new MRI for now.
So we breathe easier because she hasn't sent me straight for an MRI to look for my brain lump growing back and hope that it is epilepsy from the scaring in my brain from surgery. Hoping for a diagnosis of "fatigue" really was wishful thinking on my part I guess.
SO! I hope to be able to smuggle my camera into the hospital and document part of this continuing journey beyond brain surgery.
Sydney trip is still on though. Much baking, relaxing and catching up will be done!

Well there is no evidence yet, there is only theory. These tests should give a clearer picture. Here is hoping that nothing shows up.
Oh Julia, how disappointing for you. Let's hope all is well. :-)
Oh Julia, I could just cry for you. I didn't realize you still had seizures. Hoping and praying for you, girl...Love you!
Hang in there, know that you are not alone in the journey. I hope you find some answers soon! We are both in that search right now. My neurologist appointment isn't until July 2nd. Hard to get into see one here. And the last one made was a REAL disappointment and so we are starting over AGAIN. Please keep us posted on G+ if you can! My heart and thoughts are with you!
I will absolutely try and keep things up to date on G+ and here. I really hope you get some good progress from your next appointment Pam!
