    Pap and Just Overall Life

    I have been trying very hard to keep up with all of the posts and esp. the cat general section as well as a few others but it's been so rough lately.

    My husband has still been having migraines like crazy and he missed a full month of work and now he's still sick so this is looking like it might be month number 2 but who knows. He is working in a dishroom, they moved him there hoping it would be better for his health and I'm thinking seriously how can this be better for his health when he can't stand loud noises or bright lights, etc. and then they stick him in this area and that makes a lot of noise and he was able to make it to work on sunday for about 8 hours and then yesterday 3 hours and today he couldn't.

    I've been trying to do my best to stay calm and think ok it's just short term right now but I'm starting to wonder if it's not short term but it's going to be long term and then who knows what we will do.

    Last week my told me about my pap having these spells where he almost passed out and it's been happening for a bit now. So one Sunday my mom and I went back to see him, he lives about 1 hr. 45 mins. away and he was taking about how happens and it scares me so much. I asked him to please call the doctor on Monday and I guess he did call but didn't schedule an appointment.

    Tonight my mom called me and told me they were admitting him to the hospital. At first they thought he had congestive heart failure, then they said believe he doesn't. They were able to get his blood pressure down a bit, I guess from what my mom told me it was pretty high when he went in there.

    So he's staying till his blood pressure goes down and hopefully they can find out why he keeps getting these spells. I'm so worried about him and then I'm worried about us....it's just so much to deal with and I'm trying to pray hard that things all work out somehow but it just seems like it's so much to deal with at the moment.

    I told my mom I would take her to see my pap if anything happens or if she just wants to go back there.

    I think I will go up again this weekend though. Life is just so short...my cousin who is 20 something just doesn't think about much...she lives right down the street from my pap and doesn't go down there much to check on him....or cook him supper, etc.

    Last year for his birthday I drove back there to take him to KFC for supper with my mom and him. It was so nice getting to treat him and take him out and about.

    Anyway, if you could spare some happy thoughts I'd greatly apprecaite it.

    Melissa, I'm so sorry to hear that you have so much going on right now. Please know that you, your husband, and your parents will be in my prayers. If it's okay with you, I'll have your family added to the prayer list at my church. You have my full support and positive thoughts. If there's anything I can do to help you through, I'm only a pm away so don't hesitate.

    Melissa, sending you some cyber hugs. And praying for you and hubby and pap too.

    Doesn't hub's doctor have any suggestions for things to try? Does he need to see a second opinion doctor? Does he have a neurologist? Just tossing out ideas to think about, no need to answer on here.

    Prayers and {{{hugs}}} from here, too, Melissa. I know it sometimes feels God has abandoned you, but he hasn't, just believe...it's hard; I'm sorry.
