...My Hubby (Andy)
He is not doing well at all today, he is in alot of pain, he calls me from work on his lunch break, to let me know how he is doing. He told me today, that he can't hardly do his job at work now, he had to get some of the guys there to help him. He can't use his hands and arms much at all now when doing things, worse than before. Also, he has to sit down every chance he can get, because he can't hardly stand at work. In alot of pain in those legs to. I don't know how much longer the boss will put up with that, he told him he would work with him, but you know how that can go.
And he is having trouble with his breathing, the other day he had a real bad spell with it, he was just sitting, and his breathing was heavy, he said it
"feels real tight around his throat, and feels like his air is restricted" and that this is coming and going.
So he now has an appointment to go to his lung dr to see what is going on there, he is also on a cpap, because he has sleep apnea, they told him it was severe, but I don't remember the number that it was. I don't think it is doing him good anymore. His appointment there is Oct 30th. And it's been a while since his breathing has been checked, I'm guessing over a year.
He goes back to his regular neuro on Oct. 24th. She will be making his appointment to the ALS Center in Nashville then. I'm going to do my best to get this appointment as soon as I can. It is suppose to be sometime in November.
Whatever he has going on, it is progressing faster, I'm afraid he might be out of work before we can get him there and diagnosed.
