Guest guest Posted February 16, 2001 Report Share Posted February 16, 2001 Thanks , your post is most welcome, but cellebellar ataxia results from abnormalities in the rear of the brain , right? Jan's problems are variously described as frontal temporal and basal ganglia necrosis. Guess I'm just trying to understand some familial legends that include epilepsy, shaking palsy , dropsy, fanciful fits, the deep doldrums, running rages--hysterical/historical accounts typical of any family tree with a few unusual blooms. Jan sleeps and chokes more and my mind wanders to keep me awake. Jan's eyes film and tear. It is difficult to keep him from scratching due to impaired feeling, so I let him sleep in some positions with his glasses on. His pupils are tiny and he stares into overhead lights necessary to dress his wounds. He can focus long distances better than reading lengths so talking books now supplement his beloved classical music. His left hand retains a little movement . Wish I were able to do more for him. You seem so BALANCED with such an accepting and reassuring personality. Who takes care of You? If not too nosy, what is your zodiac sign and occupation? I feel privileged to read your comforting posts , appreciate your prompt reply, and envy your computer ability. LA Louise in Springhill where yesterday's wild storm has blown away and now the freeze begins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
