I just found out that I have brain atrophy. I’m 59F (!?!) My spouse is 63M. I don’t want to say anything right now. The doc said it wasn’t extreme but earlier than they usually see it. I don’t know what to think about it.
I feel like not saying anything for a while until I get used to this. It’s pretty mild I guess but not the sort of news I want. My husband works long shifts today and tomorrow. I at least want to wait until he’s off for the week. If I don’t tell him the he won’t be thinking about it at work. I am not sure how he would feel if I kept it to myself for a while.
I don’t want to tell anyone else (except for an unknown number of people on here!).
I hope I posted this on the right spot. Thanks y’all.
