8/31 Update

It was great to hang out with Shannon for a few days.  Shannon's doctor had a talk with the Urologist and the good news is that the procedure is now scheduled for Wednesday (Yea!).  Shannon is very happy about the news.  Her biggest frustration is with her blood pressure.  Since she cannot feel pain, her blood pressure shoots up if something is wrong.  Then, when she sits up, it plummets.  When her pressure is high you need to find out why.  The doctor stated that the drop is due to the fact that her body is still adjusting to her circumstances.  That means that I saw her systolic go from 161 in the morning to 59 in the afternoon.  It's very frustrating to her because it is wiping her out and she is only getting to go to 2/3's of her therapy.  It's just going to take time for her to adjust.
