Well I heard from the attorney that was going to do my case. They said it was "not economically feasable for their office" and "recommend I seek another attorney immediately."
They also sent me a copy of my husbands medical records on CD.
So I naturally went through them. And found the CT scan report for April 1 and April 5.
April 1 states:
Chronic right MCA infarct (the old stroke)
and bilateral lacunes on the basal ganglia.
I didnt know what the word lacunes was so looked it up: it means - a small stroke but for a specific area of the brain.
When I saw that it took about 5 readings for it to hit me. The strokes on the 1st of April were visible on the CT scan.
April 5 scan
REDICTATION
Left posterior cerebral artery circulation infarct in the right medial occipital lobe. Multiple bilateral small lacunar infarcts in the basal ganglia.
The 3 pages of hand written notes on his decline was missing. So I am not even sure that the file is complete.
I have contacted another attorney; this one in San Fran, a large firm that deals with nothing but head injuries. I should here from them on Friday.
I have been put on antidepressants now, doc figured I probably needed something after coming home from a weekend away with Mom to find someone torched my car (they threw a lit book of matches on the seat).
Otherwise I am holding up ok.
