Hubby not well again

[ayabrea38]

Just had the out of hours Dr out to see to hubby and his tummy.He(dr) wanted hubby to go to hospital to find out exactly what is going on,but Hubby said a stubborn NO!!
Hopefully it is a flair up of his IBS,but he went downhill fast from about 7.00pm and after last time I didn't want to take any chances.
Paracetamol and fluids where the compromise they came to,with me having to agree to phone them if he gets worse.

We are normally getting ready for bed now,so I think a long night is on the cards.Thank goodness for catch up TV.
I will let you all know how things progress.
Aya and the kids-and a poorly hubby xx

[tinkerbell23]

I often think of you aya!!!!

Keep in touch and best wishes xx

Why is he so bloody stubborn - if the doc thinks he should be in hospital, pretty good chance he should be. Hope he gets better soon and you all get some sort of sleep tonight. x

some men get manflu every time they sneeze. Others will die sooner than see a doctor. Not sure which is stupider, really, but yours is obviously in category 2. Good luck!

Poor you, Aya

Who called the doctor out?

[DTCwordfan]

Not easy, good luck.....he does need to get it out. I remember the gall bladder and hell that was. The solution is/was far better and that is the message to convey to him - we men can be obstinate buzzards.

[ayabrea38]

It was me that called the Dr,but I asked him first.
I can understand his reluctance,he had nectotising faciatiius (sorry still haven't got it on spellcheck)18 mths ago,but the same problem as tonight a few years ago.Dr wanted to do this huge exploratory op cos they didnt know what the problem was,and the next day he woke up feeling fine and was discharged the next!After my visits this and last year,I think we have had enough and seen enough to have a holiday from hospitals for the rest of our lives.

Anyway one thing we both agree on,in hospital,Drs and nurses think paracetamol is the cure all wonder drug,every time either of us had a pain or ache we where told to have a couple of paracetamol.
Let's hope they are right.

Sorry to hear he is unwell again, I hope he is better soon.

[askyourgran]

Sorry to hear he's ill again aya, I remember you telling us last year about his awful illness. Hope he sees sense and gets it sorted.

[owdhamer]

My sympathies are with you both.

[Ann]

I've just read about your hubby's (and yours) awful ordeal last year and hope and pray he will feel better in the morning. I will be thinking of you both. God bless x

[parkie]

Sorry to hear about your OH aya. I must admit when a similar happened to me some years ago I was loath to follow doc's orders but thank God I did. Hope and pray he did the right thing.

Aya - Gran Lynne here, so sorry you are still on this treadmill of one or the other being unwell. If MrA does not improve then do as the Doctor has suggested and get him in to be checked.

Love to the young uns too. ♥

How is Hubby this morning aya? We are all wondering and wishing you well. I do hope you both got a restful night? x

[ayabrea38]

Afternoon all,
Quick update-hubby slightly better,temp down,skin not clammy,more normal conversation and less pain,but he is far from better.Still in bed and cannot get up.Still 100%will not go to hospital.I can understand why,and I can understand why he should,go that is.
He had a fritful night,getting woken up by cramps in his tummy every so often,I got a few hours,but you know what it is like trying to sleep when someone is ill,always with one eye open,just in case.
When is all this cr@ppy luck going to stop???

I hate to be harsh, ayabrea, but it will stop when you (and/or your doctor) convince your husband to have a proper diagnosis and treatment in hospital. You can show him my opinion and tell him this comes from a male - and mention that I think he is being an irresponsible berk to you and your/his family.

[ayabrea38]

Yikes!
That was a bit harsh,but I can see where you are coming from,but with our history of hospitals you might understand a bit if you knew the full picture(which I don't want to go into)
It's OK though,I am not mad at you or anything,after all this is one place where people give their opinions and I am glad to hear them.
Sometimes the truth is the hardest thing to take in.

Hello aya, You really do need to convince your hubby to get checked out properly in Hospital.
I was ill in May '09, (not same as your hubbies illness) and I refused to get help until OH and GP convinced me in July '09 to go for a check up at A & E
one Sunday night, then I was kept in 'til OCT for treatment, they tell me I wouldn't be here now had I left it much longer.
I understand how your husband feels, but I now accept we don't always know best.
Good luck.

[DTCwordfan]

I can understand the reticence as to being in and out of the awful places - but if he is unwell......look another angle, what happens if this goes further and becomes an A&E case - surely he wants to avoid admission like that - and the very fact that the diagnosis is more measured should result in a better, more enduring treatment.

[DTCwordfan]

Thanks Baldric, you are an example to my point to Aya (and her hubby)
