I just wanna thank u all very much... This is why I'm glad I'm a Misfit and when my dogfight days end some day, but not soon, I will end a Misfit... I've made some great friends here ...
So here it is... My wife had our daughter July 22nd. She had one migraine headache that has spanned now for 23 consecutive days. It doesn't go away when she goes to sleep. She wakes up and it's already there and she goes to sleep with it too. It doesn't go away.. I forced her to go to the hospital against her will. Due to the fact that she just had an epidural from giving birth they thought it could be what they call a fluid shift . That's where the hole in the spinal column from the needle doesn't close and spinal fluid leaks slowly into the blood stream. Then they would go in and physically patch it with what they call a blood patch. So they did a CT, or cat scan, but it came back normal so that wasn't the problem. So they ordered an MRI of her body from the waist on up. The result s really fucked me up. Excuse my language. This will probably be the only time I curse here for lack of better word. He found what they are calling a white non specific mass on the back, left, lower side of her brain. She is 28 and we just had a baby plus we have a 2year old and my stepson in our household. My faith is truly stretched to its limits. They don't know what it is. It could be nothing, but after having this 1 headache for this many consecutive days it's hard to think it's nothing. We have an upcoming appointment w a neurosurgeon soon. It's quite nerve rackin. Not fair to our kids if it is something. They are leaning towards a central nervous system disease but that's why we have this upcoming appt, because they don't know and he is a specialist . I feel like I'm dying inside right now. Almost makes everything else right now seem irrelevant. She is my best friend and love of my life. I can't do this without her. I really hope the MRI machine is a shitbag liar and is wrong. Look, I'm 36 and have put every known illicit substance and chemical known to man into my body time and time again. I've only been sober for two years. All the harm I've done to myself and others over the course of my life makes me wonder if this is some kind of payback and karma. Do what ever you want to me , but hitting me where it hurts most is what's happened. I just really hope it's nothing and just a scare. She is acting as if nothing is going on but I know her better than anyone and her eyes tell me different She is worried and scared to get bad news when we go to this appointment in the coming days. It just sucks. I'm not one to really jump the gun and try to remain optimistic, but I know life hits ya when u least expect it and the military has taught me one thing for sure. Hope for the best but prepare for the worst. Why not me, why her. She never did the crap to anyone or herself that I've done. She's a good girl and doesn't deserve anything bad to come her way. I'm just really scared to get bad news but keep telling myself it could be nothing. So there it is . I may be distant from the forum or game for a bit but at least u all know why now. I love all of y'all like a great big illegitimate family.
SORRRRRY FOR THE USE OF CRUDE LANGUAGE. Just my true feelings.
Thank u again for the prayers. Sorry to put a damper on things. I have had some phone calls and texts from some of y'all and wishes in the ace hole it truly means the world. U all know who ya are and got a brother for life thank you.
Just trying to do what ever I can to keep positive and optimistic for my family. It's tough to not think about what it could be.
