Life always finds a way to balance things out... but I have had enough of taking the bad with the good.
My boyfriend wakes up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. When he comes back I could tell he wasnt going back to sleep so I rolled over to ask him whats wrong. We woke up a few weeks ago to a wet spot on the bed, I just assumed the cat had peed. Well, woke up with a wet spot again but the cat had been shut out of the room all night. Apparently bladder control issues are one of the first signs of MS. His father has MS and we always knew it was a possibility he could have it too, but of course we hoped... He said he''s been having weakness and vision issues also over the last 6 weeks. I am just devastated for him and dont know what he needs from me now. It amazing that I can know someone for 8 years and still not know how best to comfort him. He going to try and find a neurologist to go get the tests done so we dont know anything for sure yet but it''s just so scary.
And like most people facing debilitating lifetime illnesses he decides that he''s tired of waiting and planning and not living and thinks we should get married in January. From the boy who was happy to put it off till spring 07 or later. Its sad that we cnt focus on whats really important to us in our everyday lives the way we do when these horrible things happen.
So everyone go home and tell your boyfriends/fiances/husbands how much you love them, be glad for your health and never let planning get in the way of living.
