Putting the day in one post seemed to be just too much at once. We have this term for patient's at the hospital that google every symptom they have to find out what they think is wrong with them. They are not always fun to take care of. But partly the doctor not giving them enough info is the reason they google.
Today I am that patient! I admit it I google some of the testing they did. Man I wish I hadn't. I was trying to figure out what they were used for and what results would mean. So here I am with eyes dilated and half blur anyways without the dilation trying to enlarge the text so I could read it. The test that I worried about the most was VEP. From everything I can find it is used to diagnose MS. Oh boy! Pseudo tumor I can deal with. I know how to fix that and it can be fixed. MS yeah not as fixable. And far more terrifying.
I had to call my boss and let her know what the deal was and that I wouldn't be at work tomorrow or Monday at least. She nicely informed me that if I was going to miss more than a week I needed to put in for a leave. Oh boy now reality hits. Being the only provider for my family and already struggle when you add not working. Umm yeah not sure what to do with that one.
I have to say I am little scared that this maybe more than I can deal with or know how to deal with it.
