Ok, so my husband is having some symptoms that he had a few years ago. Long story short, he was diagnosed with multiple cavernous malformations about 5 years ago, which in lamens terms is bleeding in his brain stem. He had all the symptoms of a stroke (extreme one sided numbness) and had to learn to talk, walk, feed himself, etc. all over again. This was before him and I were dating, we were just friends from afar (he lived in Vegas, I lived in St. Louis). He also got extreme double vision and had to wear an eye patch for a few years. His numbness went away eventually, and he got better.. but the double vision is still here. He's learned to cope with it.
Fast foward to this week. His left foot started feeling numb on just the outside. Then the next day, it was his whole foot. Then the next day it went up to his calf, then his knee, then his thigh.. and today it's up to his butt and he's had some minor troubles walking. I'm so scared that this is happening all over again!! We just lost our medicaid too because they said we didn't turn in a financial verification paper (which I did mail ON TIME even!!). So I can't even take hiim to the hospital because we can't afford a bill like that!! Well, today we finally found out that they will reinstate the insurance in about a week, and they will backpay if he needs to go to the ER before next week. I'm really praying that is true because if not.. I don't know what we'll do! So I wanted to take him to the ER today, but he's adimate about working tonight. He says with the store opening in a couple of weeks that we need money. He agreed to go to the hospital tomorrow morning. So please please please pray this is just a bad dream or something.. that somehow I'll awake and everything will be fine. I know he's scared, although he's trying to not show it. I just have a really bad feeling in the pit of my stomach, and I am trying to think positive.. but I really have a bad feeling......... I don't know what I would do without him. I love him so much!!!!!!!! I know we go through these things to make us stronger, but man! We've already been through so much.. I can't imagine going through this all over again!
