General 100 Mile An Hour Brain And Numb Legs.

[amethist]

Sounds crazy but that is exactly how hubby is tonight. His brain is racing and he has lost full feeling in his legs.

I have had to help him up and down stairs to the bathroom, insist he used solid furniture to get around and concentrate before he stands up.

He is now in bed with sedative oil blend, with strict instructions not to attempt to come down stairs in the night without my support. He is that unstable on his feet.

I have visions of finding at the bottom of the stairs if he ignores me.

(((Amethist))) Hang in there. I am sorry you have to deal with this. Are you going to make a doctors appointment for him for his legs?

Take good care of you. I hope he relies upon you for his help and support. If it is not one thing it is another.

 

[amethist]

No point in making an appointment gizmo, its just a reaction of his brain going into hyper-drive.

It will pass once his brain slows down.

Wow, you sure are amazing. You have learned so much and take it is stride. A fast brain. Do you know what triggered it? I am sorry you have to deal with this problem. He is so lucky to have you.

 

[amethist]

Its all the legal stuff going on with his compensation claim gizmo. We are hoping it will all be finished this week, or close to being finalized.

Not sure about taking in my stride, just so used to it all, it comes automatic of what to do. you get to the point where it does not faze you anymore and you just get on with it.

This sounds like my husband. Worries and suspense really sets him off. I have to try to figure out how to solve it and then he calms down. He can no longer deal with money or medical hassles anymore. He blows it out to the worst case scenerio.

I am getting used to it to. It was so bewildering at first. There was no reaching him. He has parkinsons and lewy body dementia and has untreated ptsd. He has learned to behave himself with me.

But he cannot handle any stress at all anymore. You are one sharp person.

That must be a scary feeling for him and you. He's lucky to have your support. Don't forget to take care of yourself too.

Hugs for you

He is a bit better this morning, though exhausted. So I am going shopping for a couple of hours.

 

[piratelady]

I hope he continues to get better and is able to get some sleep. With any luck the stress of this claim will pass soon.

 

[amethist]

His brain has slowed to about 75 now, and his legs seem to be coming back to him.

He is watching old Stargate programs now, which he enjoys.

 

[Deleted member 12723]

Go and enjoy your shopping. Have a lovely time. Treat yourself. Big hugs.

Well today is not much better.

His head is still spinning though not as fast, his legs seem to be OK, as in not numb, but his back is now aching.

He had a real good winge about it all earlier and now it seems it is my fault.

Roll on Friday when his CPN comes to see him.
