[QUOTE="Dove, post: 1168864, member: 535"] He got pneumonia last fall and spent 5 days in the hospital and I was there every minute between work....running home to take the dog out...and going right back. I always feel like...what if this virus somehow triggers the MS and we wake up and he is paralyzed? Or if he has been out of touch for longer than usual while I'm working...my mind is like "he had a seizure. Yep. He had a seizure in the SHOWER and got knocked out falling and had a heart attack" Completely irrational and I never say this stuff out loud because if I'm thinking it, he is definitely thinking it. And my daughters are thinking it. It sucks. Thank God he hasn't had any issues or bad MRIs. So the odds he will live his whole life healthy are good. Except they say it's entirely possible it can just "kick in" one day. And there isn't fuck all we can do about it. It probably won't. But it could. That's kinda how we are left with it. It's a boogeyman living in the closet. A lot of the times we can totally forget he even has it, which a huge luxury many others with MS do not have. So I'm grateful for that. It could be a whole hell of a lot worse and I thank the Lord all the time that it isn't. [/QUOTE]
