How I got the sad news
It was a beautiful day,,,,excited to see my nuerologist,,, excited to show her how well I was doin after the stroke......Now that I am walking again,,,and can get around just like before (tho emotionally struggling but fighting)..I have my new job,,building my new life..and now planning to get married......
There I was waiting for my turn...
"Next" the secretary called....
My neurologist told me during my last check up to visit her if ever I'm planning to get married. She did not tell why,, and
I did not bother to ask. I thought maybe she needs to run some tests.
Now its my turn.
" Hi Doc,...."
" How are you "
" I'm OK doc,,i'm back working,,,got a new job"
" Are you sure your OK"."
" Yes DOC "
" Let's see"
Again the nuerologist tests...she made me walk in a straight line...made me watch her finger move from left to right,,,up
then down.... ( she justs wanna check how my eyes roll ) ...my arm up then down...
" You're doin great!" , she said,
" Doc,,you said I should get back here if ever I'm planning on getting married...Here I am doc,planning to get married,, is there any tests I should undergo?..how much will it cost doc....so that I will pepare myself...."
She kinda shook her head and gave a little frown... then she said " I want you to come back not undergo anymore tests,,, but just to tell you that now your planning to get married,,you;ll probably have a baby and ... you'll probably get a stroke again..."
I froze...and with hope said.." Isn't there a way doc?"........again she shook her head.
" The medication that I'm taking doc...cant it protect me from stroke?"
" You cant take that when your pregnant. It'll harm the baby"
I talked to her more and asked for an option,,,even offered a possible way,,,but her answers give no hope..
I went home with a broken heart. I am left with no choice. I couldnt do anything but just cried.
