Whats going on in your world..
Posted by ivy | Under Ivy Unleashed Sunday Jan 6, 2008It sure is busy in mine…
In THIS POST I wrote about dh passing out at work and the dr saying he thought it was a seizure. Its been a rough few weeks. Dh has passed out twice since then. He’ll just be doing something and pass out. No warning. Just smooth out. Friday was one of those times.
He had gone to the hunting club to help his friend and they were standing there talking. His friend said suddenly he just passed out. His whole body just hit the ground. Well when dh passed out he hit his head on teh ground. Hard. Busted his head open. After that he couldnt stay awake. He kept passing out over and over again so off to the ER we went. After waiting HOURS to be triaged they finally triaged him and put him immediately in a trauma room. They ran a cat scan and did b lood work and determind everything was normal but said he had a seizure. Explained there is no way to prove it but by law they are obligated to tell the health department who is by law obligated to report it to the DMV. I could cry thinkinga bout this.
I dont know what we’ll do. This is the 3rd time he has passed out. I feel like whats next. Part of me is so angry with dh for this because I blame him. I blame his addiction to pain killers and xanax as the reason for this. And i have a right to feel this way. The dr has justified my feelings on this. In that his addiction could be the cause of this!!!!!!!! So whats next??????????
Tell me.. Whats been going on in your world???????/
Gosh, how frightening and what a horrible thing to have to deal with. Hope things get better for you very soon!
oh no! I am so sorry! Do you think that maybe this could be a wake up call for him? If they have to report him then it could seriously affect his life right and show him he is doing wrong? I am just so sorry you are going through this.
Boring in my life. Trying to lose weight, inspired by YOU!!
that really sucks for him and for you! it’s gotta suck not knowing when and if you’ll pass out.
how tough for you because it leaves you responsible for a lot more since he’s gotta be careful about stuff and if it is due to his addiction it’s something that could have been prevented.
hang in there!!
That is SO SCARY, Ivy! I’m sorry you’re having to go through this! And of course I’m sorry dh has to go through it too!
I guess all you can do is be thankful he is no longer abusing? Did the doctor say this would eventually go away?
That is a scary situation for your husband–and the economic implications are dire for your family, Ivy. I hope he can keep his driver’s license.
