My World

A couple of days ago, I found myself taking my husband to emergency. He has been having reoccurring back spasms, which have been causing him considerable pain. As they have been reoccurring for the last several months, it has increasingly become more concerning.

As I sat beside my husband, it almost seemed surreal since you would never think that muscle spasms (which is what his doctor has indicated is the problem), could ever cause so much pain. I also would consider us to still be relatively young, or at least not to the point where a lot of illnesses could surface. I knew that he could not be exaggerating though, since he would never ask me to take him to emergency if it was not extreme pain. When they checked his blood pressure (which was considerably high at that point), it also showed that he was definitely in a lot of pain. In reviewing the symptoms with the doctor, it did not show that there was anything further than a muscle spasm but you cannot help but wonder if there is anything more to it. The doctor ended up giving my husband a morphine shot and we went home. We will definitely be doing more investigating just to be sure.

In reflecting on this night, it has definitely left me scared. To think that anything could be seriously wrong...I don't know what I would do. When I think of my life, my family...most particularly my husband and our baby...they are my world. If anything were to happen to them...I can't even talk about that...there are just tears. My world would be destroyed.
