Lets go back to last Monday...
Last Monday Andy and I were playing a board game while he started dinner. While we were playing he started complaining of blurred vision. He said that it was like he had tunnel vision it was blurry on the sides of his vision. He tried reading the directions to the game and he was having problems seeing the words. After about 15 minutes this passed and he said he could see better. Well actually he tried telling me that he could see better but every sentence he said there was a letter that was incorrect. Like he kept saying Lision instead of Vision. I told him that if he keeps it up that I’m going to call my Mom. He kept trying to say that he was fine but he was struggling with the words. Tears started streaming down my face. This was exactly how my dad was when he had his “mini stroke”, he couldn’t say the word cell phone and kept struggling to speak. I told my mom what was going on and she told me to go to the ER. While I was on the phone with her Andy kept trying to talk to me, he said the word Fart instead of another word he was trying to say and made himself giggle. After I got off the phone I told Andy to get his shoes on we were going to the ER. He kept asking how much is it going to cost, and his speech improved. He said that he was just tired and had been tired all day. In the previous weekend he had gotten a total of 9 hours of sleep so he had reason to be tired. I called my mom back and told her that we weren’t going to go. He sat on the couch and rested. We decided that he was going to go and see the doctor tomorrow. I called Bonnie (his sister) and relayed his symptoms. (I felt so silly cause it was all weepy while I was doing it.) I asked her if she could give us some names of some doctors that she thinks are good since Andy doesn’t have a primary care doctor. (she’s a nurse) After I got off the phone with her Andy was complaining of pain behind one of his eyes. He called his dad to get advice of what to do and he suggested Bonnie come over and take his vitals and that he get some sleep. So they came over and checked him out. Everything was normal, he still had the pain behind the eye though. I looked on the internet and those symptoms could be related to a migraine. He went to bed and slept for 8 hours. No symptoms reoccurred. The next day he was fine except a little tenderness where he had the pain the previous day. We couldn’t get into a doctor so I took him to the immediate care Dr in Morris. (I got cuddle raped by a small child in the waiting room) The doctor checked him out and said he thinks he had a migraine but that he should see his primary care doctor because he can’t send him for things like MRI’s and such. So I scheduled an appointment with one of the doctors that Bonnie suggested and he had his check up that Thursday. The primary care doctor says it was probably a migraine but that he had such weird symptoms for the migraine he wanted him to have an MRI just to make sure everything is okay in his brain. So that leads us to today. Today is the day that he has his MRI. Andy was saying he felt a little spacey today. He also said that he didn’t have breakfast so hopefully that was the reason for the spaceyness. Hopefully the MRI comes back normal.
