The Days When You Just Say Why?

[stepsforNeeC]

I don’t know if I am the only one who likes to write at night; maybe it’s the stillness, tranquility and peace that it brings. Right now, I’m balancing two life experiences that are both overwhelming. I often refer to our site as my “extended family” and that’s because I feel like family. We care, we share and since I’m an only child - well think you understand. MS sometimes changes other people, more than it changes us. So right now, I have an adult son who I didn’t want to see homeless, move back temporarily. Problems with his landlord, job loss etc. Some families have that one child/relative who is a Merry Go Round of problems; yup borderline genius that’s my son. Book smart, life goofy (that’s not what I meant to say…) obnoxious at times. Well when the devil is busy, my husband is one week retired after nearly 25 years in City Government. We’re moving into a new home in 7 weeks (ranch style praise God) and close to the grandchildren in a peaceful area. This past weekend we checked in with the progress and on Saturday were preparing to attend a Gala celebration with my church. Never would I imagine that we would end up in the emergency room because my husband suffered a mild stroke. He has a history of Pulmonary Embolism and is on Xalreto. Thank God, we went to the emergency room because at first he thought it was just headache. After the CAT/MRI it was confirmed; a very tiny clot. He’s home now and an additional medication has been added to his daily regimen. His son (former marriage) is wonderful and I love ❤️ him and my daughter-in-law are coming up from Delaware this weekend. My son is on notice that he doesn’t get one of the apartments he looked at through the housing program he is in doesn’t call him soon, he better plead a good case to some friends. I hate seeing my husband not totally himself and he is always taking care of me when I’m sick. But no one never said this life would be easy. Need your prayers and thanks for always being here 🙏.

sending positivity, that is a lot to cope with. i always say i can just about cope with the neuro issues, but add one thing and it knocks me right out! worry for your son, worry for your husband (and suffering with him as he's not quite himself, watching him that way)... it's a whole lot. then add in a move. uf🤗

[stepsforNeeC in reply to Blanketttime1]

Thanks my friend 😘

I am so sorry that your husband suffered a stroke, even mild ones are scary for everyone.. i’m sure everyone will continue to have a fear that another one could happen or another pe.. praying for nothing but good health both of you! There is an awful lot of stress with just the move Much less having an adult child come to live back at home again. And then you get to the other family members that are going to be coming to hang out… I’m sure they will all be helpful to you both.. sending lots of hugs and prayers your way. I’m sure you and your husband together set some guidelines before your son came in to the house… maybe he will be a huge help for the move 🤗🙏🏼🤗
