Hello my friends,
Well this has been a bad two days at our house. Monday we go back to Neurologist for the 6 month evaluation. My husband seems very, very fearful. He knows how much he has progressed in the last 6 months and he seems quiet and grouchy. The diagnosed before was PLS but I know that he knows things are moving very fast. He said he is not going to let the Neuro do another EMG, he said (WHY DO ANOTHER EMG, I KNOW I'M WORSE). I feel his anxiousness and his concern. When I watch him (concerned for him falling) he say's stop watching me, when I try to discuss how he feels he says it depresses him. So I try to help when I can but I think when I do it only reminds him of his physical helplessness. This terrible disease is so unfair, relentless, uncaring, depressing and debilitating. I will talk to the doctor on Monday and tell him I think my husband is getting depressed. This I am sure is very natural, it even depresses me. I am sure you all know exactly how we feel and I am sorry for that. We are very good people and have tried to be all our lives, everyone say's things happen for a reason and I just wonder sometimes what the reason for this could be? Thanks for listening. Gracie
