My husband is quite poorly. We have lived with his neurological problems for a long while but he isn't doing too well at all right now. His neurologist is worried that his heart is not functioning right and we are waiting to hear from his cardiologist about what happens next. He already has four stents fitted and it looks like he has other blockages now so either more stents or a by pass and possibly a pacemaker as his heart rate is really slow. He isn't doing much at all, he is either at his computer, watching TV or in bed. He has been having 'episodes' when sleeping which his neurologist believes are syncope (feinting) convulsions. They are quite frightening for us both.
I had a bad stomach flu, as did half of the nation, at the beginning of the year which took it out of me a lot. I am recovered fully from that thank goodness. My husband didn't catch it even though his immune system is compromised from the chemo and immuno suppressants he takes. We thought this was good until his neurologist told us that people with compromised immune systems do not usually show symptoms, they just drop dead. He is very blunt sometimes.
My husband had such a good summer and was able to work on the camper conversion to a hunting blind but then he deteriorated quite quickly and hardly got any hunting in. Such a shame after all his (and my) hard work.
January is usually a bit of a blah month for us because of the weather but for now it doesn't look like there is going to be a lot going on in the future either. Really hoping they can sort out these heart problems for him.
Good Morning Maureen
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that your husband has had a set back. But hopefully it's only a glitch and will sort itself out. Doctors and medicine can be pretty amazing. It's better that your doctor be honest. My father-in-law's doctor strung us along and didn't really tell us what to expect. Guess he thought we could read between the lines. It sounds like your's is checking all the options. Winter is a time to rest anyway. I have that crud. Terry's immune system is poor too due to his illnesses and meds. How in the world he had evaded this bug is beyond me.
xx, Carol
Thanks Carol, we heard this morning they are scheduling some tests this week so hope they can find out what is causing this and maybe fix it. He had a halter monitor for 24 hours which we sent back straight away 12 days ago and they haven't received it yet or it is sitting in an in basket somewhere. Sometimes the VA is a tad slow. Hope you get better soon, it is a nasty one for sure. Good that both our men evaded it.
