Well, he went to the doctor today to find out the results of his MRI.
This is coming from my dad, so who knows how accurate his translation of the doctor's comments is!!
Anyway, he has to go for a repeat on part of the MRI. Apparently he has blockages in both his carotid artieries, but the MRI did not get a good view of them to know if he will need surgery or not.
He has also apparently had a mini-stroke at some point in the near past.
He (now this is according to my dad's translation) has a "touch" of Parkinson's. Now, how can you have a "touch"? I mean, either you have it or not, right? Anyway, supposedly it is not bad enough to require medication right now and it may not get any worse.
So, I am awaiting this second MRI to see if he is going to need surgery on his carotid arteries. (and it doesn't make me feel real good to know he has already had a mini-stroke!)
