They kept my brother at the hospital, over night

[Siwsan]

They are probably waiting for their eye specialist to come in, this morning, and go over the results. I won't go into my fear. My recent family health history has taught me to expect the worse because the best rarely happens. So, yes, I am a complete and total wreck, this morning. I took the full allowable dosage of medication, last night, including the 'as needed' so I'd sleep. It worked, probably too well. The fur babies were POUNCING on me, this morning.

So they are fed. I'll get dressed and head out to feed the outdoor family. I have to make one quick run to Aldi, right at 9. Then I'll take just enough medication to keep me relatively calm while I wait to hear from him.

Thanks to everyone for their advice, information and supportive words. As always, they mean the world to me.

5. I will worry with you, I have grown to expect the worst with medical issues myself

But I often turn out to be wrong which is a good feeling

6. Please take care of yourself...

Your brother is being cared for, he is in the right place take solace in that.

7. The good, for lack of a better word, is he went to the

doctor and they took him serious instead of brushing him off and sending him home. Much better to err on the side of caution. But I certainly understand your worry. The waiting really is the hardest part.

Will be fine by this evening.

13. Keep in mind your brother

Is in the best hands. I know it is scary when it is the eye. They have to rule out everything.

I once woke up with my hand feeelinglike a block of wood, they performed every test for the next 8 hours, even a brain scan. Nothing. The Doctors finally decided I exercised too hard. My carpel tunnel was the problem in my hand. Cortisone shot and pills. It still took me a couple of weeks to held a coffee cup.

Just remember they are fixing him. I know the waiting is awful think positive if you can

14. I'm not one to offer the best words of encouragement

Years ago I was hospitalized after a suicide attempt. My little brother talked to me on the phone and broke down crying at what had happened. His reaction had a profoundly positive impact on me.

You being there for your brother probably means more to him than he’ll ever let you know.

Take care of yourself and hang in there. Keep doing the best you can.
