He was fit, healthy, hardworking ........and now this. He has double vision so can't work, can't go out unaided, can't read, can't use a computer - effectively blind??? Lethargy too. And other symptoms too like headache and cant concentrate.
He was discharged from hospital yesterday with paracetamol for the headache ........then wait and see if the other symptoms clear up.
Surgery or radiation treatment have been ruled out for now as too risky.
He is also aspie so needs routine and structure in his daily life. The life he has made for himself has now gone. I have no idea how to help him readjust.
Even if the symptoms do clear they could recur at any time in the future.
He is living with his girlfriend (together a year but just recently living together). What must she be thinking now????
We will have to support him financially and I don't know how we will do that.
Our dd, his sister, is in australia and about to start a new job. Should she come home???
Only last week he and his girlfriend booked flights to go to aus to meet the rest of my family there in January.
I have no idea how we go on from here.
