It's a fast moving world we live in. 3 weeks ago Willa was hospitalized with a stroke. After scans and a MRI it was determined there was no connection with the tongue cancer so treatment at the moment is for the stroke which mainly affects the right arm and leg. She is being provided with physio by hospital staff while awaiting placement in a regional physio center. Recovery prospects are fairly good but will likely require a walker and home support. Willa's vitals are all quite normal and she is a fighter so we ( myself, 3 adult children and 6 grandkids along with 1 great grandchild) are confident that she will continue to maintain a positive attitude about recovery. The co-operation between our local Doctors and those at Princess Margaret Head and Neck cancer dept has been outstanding. We do have a February appointment at PM to review cancer side but attendace will be determined by her progress.
PS - I had a bit of a problem with my Nov 8th update which seemed to get out of place by date - hopefully this one will come up in order.
