Its been more than a week since "the accident" and 4 days since we came home from the hospital. It's been a huge emotional roller coaster, our lives have been turned upside down, inside and out. I'm acutely aware of how lucky I am to have Mr X still with us. It was only slightly less than 1 year ago that he had another horrific accident which left him with a fractured skull.
This time around the accident was much less severe, or so I thought. The mood swings, the emotional outbursts and the memory loss were things that I never expected. It's like Mr X is physically here, but it's only his shell. Ever so often during the day , I catch a glimpse of the old Mr X and I try to savor every minute. I cling on to the hope that this good spell would last, only to be bitterly disappointed when he reverts back into his shell.
Miss and Master X are too young to comprehend the whole situation, in a way I'm grateful for their childish innocence.
We have an appointment with the neurologist tomorrow morning, I hope I can get Mr X out of bed in time. Even getting him out of bed is hard work, it takes him about an hour to orientate himself . Let's hope the appointment will bring us some answers and good news.
