Sorry to hear about your husband Macadia, you must be so worried about him. Your sister has offered a lifeline to you and it is very intuitive of her to make her offer. Try to take things step by step. Most people seem to want to speculate in these circumstances which really doesn’t help you in this stressful and emotional time. Hopefully you will get some answers soon. Try not to let people upset you - it seems common these days to get negative and frankly unwanted comments, when you need positivity. Hoping you get a diagnosis soon. Wishing you well.

My husband has been hospitalised for some weeks now because he unexpectedly began to become paralysed- all of his limbs. I am unable to see him because I am working and not allowed any time off. Everyone is asking me for updates so they can speculate and give uneducated guesses about what is wrong with him and what they're suggested treatment is.

I just had the nicest phone call from my sister asking if she could come to my home to take care of my work to allow me to see and visit with my DH.

No one has even offered that before. She must know how my heart is breaking. I'm not asking for your pity. I'm just advising those who want to help someone who's loved one has compromised health to put themselves in the place of the primary carer and then decide what would be the best plan to help the carer.

I don't know if I'm making sense but I thought I should post this because her actions really touched my heart.
