Mini Update

Ok so we still have the cerebral brain scan on Friday which tells us about the MS but i just thought id get a little out of whats happened in the last week or so.

Last Wednesday my partner went to see the doctor for the insurance company but he put his foot down & wouldnt let me go but also stated i probably couldnt go in due to it being for the insurer. Anyways as to be expected the doctor was very rude etc of course what else can one expect when he works for them.
We have since recieved his report in the mail which actually worked out our favour SHOCK HORROR

Go figure just when you think everything is turning to sh!t LOL. Basically says it looks like work is liable & that he needs to have the scans he has been denied etc.
Anyways he had the nuclear bone scan done on Tuesday which like the CT scans have shown some problems in the lower vertabrae with arthritis & osteophites (?). At the same time it was inconclusive but no fractures were found which is the bonus.
Whats really scaring me now is that all signs are leading to MS as well as him outgrowing the harrington rods at least for now the rods havent damaged him to the point of fractures.
I know i shouldnt be thinking about it the way i am but i cant help it im petrified.
I guess all i want is for things to go back to "normal" when i know thats just not going to happen.
What didnt make things any better was tonite he collapsed upstairs & came back to it not knowing where he was as well as not being able to move his left arm or leg

He then gets embarassed for me to help him etc & of course wont let me call my sister who was downstairs to help me get him up or take him to hospital.
Men !

I feel ill about Friday i should be positive. I should be thinking that this will come back all clear. Yet i cant help feeling this sense of impending doom.
Im hoping im being so negative for no reason.
In good news or should i say other scary news LOL bubs is into everything now as he has decided well maybe i should do a proper crawl as everyone else seems to be doing it LOL as well as pulling himself up & cruising any chance he gets & with daddy home to encourage him he is raring to go ! Shame mama still wants her baby to remain a baby

So yeah hope this all finds everyone else well & happy.

Hi Allyoo,
Great to hear that there were no fractures and that you were vindicated somewhat with the issue of liability. It sounds like you have both been through a hell of lot (understatement I know), and I can only hope that tomorrow brings some much needed answers,and maybe even relief.

Feeling petrified is really understandable, Ally, but try and beat it back, as fear is really debilitating, scews up your focus and your mind.

You are a strong person, you have great sense of humour and you CAN handle whatever it is to come.

Take heart in the little fella - he sounds like he is just about off and running!
My thoughts are with you, let us know how it goes.
