Yeah this guy is still living...  This July we will be married 30 yrs...  Question?     I'm looking for any and all feedback...  We have been to that second and third opinion... to Mayo and with all saying the same its still not sinking into this head... there is no fix... He has been sent home on a blood thinner (aggrenox) as to not thin the blood to much... With a healthy heart pumping against a 20% opening (when last tested)... So at night he is on oxgen to slow down the heart at night, for the heart pumps harder as ones breathing slows as we sleep...  We live 30 mins from the closest hospital which isn't set up to handle this so life fight is another step... We were told to be aware that there could be a time that he goes completely blind... like a curtain coming down over his eyes... run to ER then...  and yeah this all has us both not working...  he can't drive at all... and we were running cross country team driving...  he does have over all weaking of the body but more so on the right effecting mainly his right hand.... small motor... and he leans to the right when walking... holds onto walls as he walks but still goes...  he doesn't give up easy...  he doesn't give up at all...  this medical stuff is over our heads... we are truck drivers...
