I'm really sorry to create an AW here, and also apologies for what I'm sure will be a lot of rambling, but I'm just freaking out a bit and I guess maybe I need to tell someone this and maybe have folks to tell me to calm down/get a grip - I'm ready if you think a good slap-to-the-face wake up call is appropriate. DH has been having a lot of severe pain in his neck and jaw recently, and he went to the dentist today to check it out. Well, the dentist is referring him to a neurologist because it looks like he might have a nerve condition that is frequently caused by MS or lesions/abnormalities of the brain (DH actually thought he might have this from some google searches, but then the dentist brought it up all on his own as what he thinks it could be). I know it's WAY too early to start thinking about things like that, because there are many tests that need to be done, but I just never expected to hear this - I chalked what DH had said before as the typical "I looked up my symptoms on WebMD and now I'm pretty sure I'm about to die" situation. I'm just sitting here in my office crying and trying to tell myself not to be crazy and just be patient until we can get some answers. And I know that there are a lot of treatments available for MS and we will be able to handle it, but it just breaks my heart to think DH might have to go through that. Also now I'm thinking we should stop TTC until we figure out what is going on with him (because it could be something as simple as a blood vessel that is just rubbing up on the nerve, could be as serious as a brain tumor, and I think that being pregnant while DH is treated for something really serious would just be really really hard), although I know he won't want to do that.
Because I'm also known for making ill-timed jokes when I'm upset or stressed (it just helps me refocus), here's a gif of a good calm-down slap. Feel free to just post good slap gifs on here as well:
