SERIOUSLY PART II

I NEVER want to go through the last 2 weeks ever again. I said I would be more active on my BLOG and boy did I get that one wrong. The day after my last post, I sent Derek to the ER because he was not any better. He has been sick for so long and complaining of not being able to breathe. He has been to the doctors and they started telling him he had asthma. WRONG - my poor guy had blood clots in BOTH lungs. The ER doc told him it was lucky he came in because his mortality rate was 95%. WHAT???? I can not believe he was basically walking around like a ticking time bomb. He was kept in the hospital the entire week and has been put on Coumadin to help break up the clots. He is now home with me recovering and the lung specialist has him on short term disability. Luckily for me, my neurologist put me on a new med for my migraines last month and it has been working wonders. Last weeks stress would have normally made me crater, but the new med helped with the migraines and has also helped with the body aches as well. It was originally for Fibromyalgia AND since I was diagnosed with that back in the late 90's before the MS, my neuro thought we might as well give it a try. All I can say is it is a MIRACLE and Praise the Lord. I had a follow up appointment with the neuro this morning and he was glad I was doing so good. He did some little strength tests and I am also gaining some strength back as well. I also have lost ten more ponds so that was an extra little bonus. He told me to just keep on top of the headaches and to call if the migraines TRY to resurface. As soon as things settle down and Derek gets back to work, I will start scrapping again. Right now, all I want to do is make sure my big guy is feeling better.
