Well, things continue about the same. Some areas for Jeff are improving, other areas are getting worse. We both have a lot of emotions we are walking through. Jeff is finding that his energy is zapped quickly. For instance, he went to the doc and ate lunch with my parents. He had to leave the resturaunt to go lay down in the van for pain and the fatigue. The kids are feeling the emotions too. They see very clearly that daddy has changed.
Jeff went to see our family doctor today. He agreed that Jeff needed a nuerologist. So, he is putting a very detailed referral in. He said normally he just does the referral and leaves it to the nuero to figure out, but he went further with our situation. He told them the kids history, etc. So, we appreciate that.
They didn't know much what to do for Jeff. They are trying some meds for restless legs. Jeff's legs are jerking involuntarily. we don't know at all that this will work. Kind of a shot in the dark to provide some relief until we can go to the nuero. Also, they put him on an old anti-depressant that has been used to help with nerve pain. Again, shot in the dark but if it helps with the pain, it's well worth it for him. He needs some good sleep. The pain is an issue with waking him in the night.
The kids are doing ok. both having trouble with sinus stuff.
Have a good night all!
