What a day yesterday ,Hubby in hospital with agonizing pain ,2 am ,By 3 in the afternoon ,after endless tests and waits for results ,scans ,cat scan, x rays blood tests constant monitering of blood pressure which is normally high .now low ?. We had diagnosis Kidney problems,Fluid backed up into kidneys Diverticulosis ,ruptured bowel and his already weak heart suffering the strain . What a night . They are intraveneously filling him with anti biotics and I am having to get bolshie with him when I really feel so sorry for him .Oh well needs must . .Why because they said probably surgery .He says no .Men !!! Slap !!! Hopefully today we know what is going to happen .This site has been so informative for me so I am off the the other sites and hope I can get info that is as real as this one . The hospital staff were brilliant it just took time between each test to wait for results .

Nightmare indeed! Time has a diffefent meaning when waiting in hospital you must be totally drained. Remember to take care of yourself too. All best wishes to you both.

Oh Bless Patricia, your poor hubby & they make such reluctant patients.

Mind you keep up to date with your Pred, maybe even a little extra today as you’ve been up so long with little sleep.

Take Care of You then you can take care of himself.

Love

MrsN 🌺

He was ill the other week and I suspect this was the rumblings of what has happened now they leave you worried about them and guilty for getting annoyed with them . Ha oh well he had his own way and now look . ;-(

Best wishes to both of you. 💐

Hi Patricia. Hope hubby's treatment goes well and things improve quickly for him. Please ensure your needs are prioritised, since no good will be gained if you forget to take care of yourself!!!

Wishing you both well.

Ohhhhhh patriciawhite, I am so sorry you and your OH are having to go through this! You did make me laugh though; "...he says no. Men! Slap !!!" Hahahahahaha So true!

I will keep you both in my thoughts and prayers and hope that everything goes well.

All the best.

Mine is getting a bit better about admitting he isn't well. But we might not be where we are if he'd been more proactive about his health in the past.

Men are a pain aren't they! I know exactly why you want to give him a good slap -- just do it when nobody is looking!!! My OH is at last beginning to listen and take note - and take his health a bit more seriously, if only he'd done it earlier, but life is full of "should'ves!" Keep your strength up and through all of it look after yourself!

He is looking less frightened and at last has had something to eat. They had him nil by mouth for days . His bed looks out of a window onto subway hahaha KARMA I was expecting to see the window looking like our French windows when the dogs been licking them. He did say he felt like that lol. Thank you so much for asking He is a lot better but still has a way to go.

So glad he's doing better. Take care of yourself, the last thing you need is to have a flare and we all know what stress can do. Sending you both prayers and soft hugs! Try and get as much sleep as you can.
