Thanks so much Anasarene...that makes sense! From what I understand even a tiny hyperintensity can cause problems within the brain. Did your sister concur with that? Just wondering.
Keepinon, I haven't worked as a nurse for a while now. During our move we lost/forgot about my renewal paperwork. Didn't think about it until it was way too late to renew. So, would have to take the boards over again (hmmm....it's been 27 years!). Funny though, my first nursing job was on a head injury unit! My second was on an adolescent rehab (drugs and alcohol)/psych unit....years ago! I do know what you mean about "codieville".
Am wondering who nurse Jackie is???
