Due to the abuse I grew up with from my mom and stepdad, by necessity I grew up tough. I've been through 8 strokes, arthritis, diabetes, severe depression, shot, stabbed, flipped cars end over end 4 times, rolled one 3 times, been through 2 divorces, a death of a child, and survived it all. Not much affects me except when things hurt my wife or my kids. I'm really concerned about my wife right now. Recently she's started to tremor really badly, so badly that she can't function. MRIs, CAT scans, Xrays etc have been done and tumors, strokes, Parkinsons, MS, and blood clots have been ruled out so we know there is nothing wrong with her brain but the problem is getting worse. Toward the end of the day she can barely talk, it's a lot like my worst stroke but it's not a stroke. Our doctor has been out of the country for the last two weeks and she won't go to one of his partners. He's back and we have an appt this afternoon, hopefully we can at least find out what's going on. All sorts of things have been suggested to us from nurses at church, of which there are several, from minor to life threatening. She's really scared and I'm a nervous wreck but covering well in public. I feel like throwing up and haven't eaten for 2 days. I come here to relax and have fun; I know this isn't what anybody wants to read since everyone else comes here to relax too. None of you know me, none of you know my wife and there really isn't a valid reason to post this, I just felt the need to. I'm sorry to sound whiny.
