Hardest 6 weeks lately. Definitely have had worse times but I broke down tonight and froze. Just laid down and didn't respond to anything my husband said. I don't know how much more I can take! Been having health issues since the end of December then family problems to the point it put me in the hospital. I just got out yesterday and then my husband went in the hospital tonight with an MS flare where he was falling and is very weak in the legs and arms. I feel so bad because when he needed me I snapped. I helped him up when he fell and got him to the chair then had to go in the other room and just bursted out in tears he managed to get to the bedroom where I was and hugged me and then as he would put it I went in a comatose state so he called my parents and brother to see if my parents could come over for my mom to be with me and for my dad to take him to the hospital then asked my brother if my son and I could stay with him for a few days. I finally snapped out of it and was able to help him pack and when my parents got to our place we prayed and I said I could take him which I'm glad I did. Life has just been too hard these days.

So I have been having a lot of health issues and my cardiologist felt that he didn't get clear enough images of my heart in the office, so he wanted to do a Trans-esophegeal heart Echocardiocgram in the hospital. I was pretty nervous about it, because I've never had any procedures related to my heart or any other major organs. I've had knee surgery and thyroid surgery, but to me anything to do...


I’m truly saddened by your situation, and I hope you accept my humble prayers for you, your husband, and your son.
I have a friend with MS so I (sort of) can empathize with you.
Please keep posting updates, I’d like to hear them, and hopefully it will be somewhat cathartic for you.
Maui1992 I will be in php next week so hopefully I will learn dbt. What book do you have?
