Guest guest Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 Thought I'd send a quick update on me. I've been having problems with what I believe is Bells Palsy. So far, I'm chewing the hell out of the left side of my tongue and inside cheek. It feels like that side of my face is sagging, but actually, the right side is sagging a small amount. I just had my Remicade infusion Thursday, so I'm hoping that will help calm things down. The other challenge is that my husband may have had a stroke-- he had some major confusion and disorientation last week- and his bosses decided to not let him work until he gets this figured out. Naturally, the wheels of progress are going very very slowly. He finally got ultrasounds of his carotids- they show some thickening, and his heart ultrasound is good- no problem there. He is scheduled for MRI's next week, and depending on what happens there- he may be back to week the following Monday. It will totally depend on what they find. In the meantime, he's home with me. (My schedule during the week does not jive with him being here- he's cramping my style!) Actually he did leave this am to go backpacking for a couple of nights- into a couple of lakes in the High Country. I know it's good for him-- but it's sure not taking away the anxiety for me... I'm doing all the stuff that I tell all of you to do-- I'm using the "Stop" processes when my brain wants to panic, I'm eating too much ice cream (oops) and I'm trying not to shoot anything or anyone-- so hey, I think we're getting somewhere. I will be back later, for now-- it's hit and miss. I know that I have to put my energy into my family-- and keep on keeping on.
