On Monday lunchtime this week (12th May) I get a call from my Neurosurgeon saying that he'd seen some anomaly on my MRI scan and that he'd like to see me sooner rather than later. In fact, could he see me on Tuesday (the following day)? I didn't feel like I could actually say no. So I had an appointment on Tue in the afternoon. With my seizures becoming more frequent, I wasn't sure what he was going to say. He emailed me to confirm the appointment and signed off as "Andy". I had to reply and started off "Hi Andy" and then said that it felt a bit wrong calling him "Andy" when he was a neurosurgeon. In other words, I felt that I should address him as "Mr." but he said "Well, I call you Alan so why shouldn't you call me Andy?"
Since then I've found that my neurologist is called "Charlie".
So my brain surgeon and my nerve specialist are called Andy and Charlie. I think that's brilliant!
Anyway, there was nothing too awful to report from Andy. Just a slight change in the tumour. However, I'm back to scans every 3 months rather than every six.
I'll just have to see how my migration to Keppra goes...
