December 6, 2011. Dad was unsteady on his feet last night when he picked me up at the airport. I think it's his blood pressure but he won't go to the doctor. His blood pressure is 79/48. He'll go when he gets sick enough. He's on blood pressure medications.
December 7, 2011. Stella (my sister) is coming tomorrow.
December 8, 2011. He told the nurse he had a stroke on Friday. Vital signs good. Strength in arms and legs good. No sign of stroke except aphasia. They're going to do a catscan. He's very alert and coherent. He's joking with the nurses. The doctor told him the Cat-scan showed an area of swelling in his brain, probably fluid. She let him see his cat-scan (He was a radiologist). She said that it would be one of two diagnoses: glioblastoma or lymphoma of the central nervous system. They will do an MRI.
