Difficulty Coping
I know that I am not the only one who is plagued with fear of losing the people you love. Until you have had something earth shattering happened (like losing someone for real), you don't know what it's really like. I almost lost Darrel for real last week. We were on vacation in Indianapolis and he went to the gas station to fill up our rental car. He was gone longer than normal, but I tried not to bother everyone with my insane paranoia that the sky was falling. But when the phone rang, I knew.
The voice on the phone was telling me that my husband had suffered a grand mal seizure inside the gas station and that he was in the ER at St. Vincent's Hospital. Two minutes earlier or later and he would have been behind the wheel. Instead the seizure happened inside the BP Gas Station and he fell into a shelving unit and had convulsions for 5-8 minutes.
We don't know what caused it - they couldn't find anything in the CAT Scan, XRay, blood work etc. He chewed up his tongue pretty bad and has bruises everywhere. He can't drive, swim, etc. until he's cleared by a neurologist.
Now everytime we say goodbye, or I even go in the other room, I have a fear I will not see him alive again. It's driving me crazy.
