Thanks guys. The little angel (above mentioned) is working tonight which just upset her terribly because she’s hardly had a day to chill since school started. OTOH – she *did* volunteer for her tasks too. (Like mother like…) Hubby is doing okay – though he hasn’t delivered yet. We think it’s a boy because he keeps muttering "Son of a…" :) <just kidding – he doesn’t cuss – that’s my job!) *********************************** KCat http://www.ghg.net/schwerpt/mypage.htm http://www.ghg.net/schwerpt/aslfaq20.htm ("`-”-/").___..–”"`-._ (`6_ 6 ) `-.

Response:
KC so sorry to hear that your hubby is going through the kidney stone problems. We just had to rush our 27 year old son to the ER on the 22 for the same thing. He thought he was dying…the pain is something else. They did not give him anything for pain and said to keep him hydrated. So he has been drinking gallons of water, juices, and gatorade…as he doesn’t want to go through that again anytime soon. Glad that the headache is gone! Will be thinking of you and saying an extra prayer for you and your family.

I have to agree totally. I heard last night on some show that women can withstand 9X greater pain than men? I don’t know how much truth there is to that but I think after a point "excruciating" can’t get much worse anyway. My hubby absolutely hates meds and the ones he took caused a rebound headache as it was – but the headache was worth it considering how agonizing the stone itself was. He did get an appt. with the doc to try to determine it’s current location.

NO pain medicine! How archaic! I worked in the ER for several years. He should have absolutely been given something for pain! Kidney Stone pain is often equated with labor pain in intensity, except labor pains come and go. Kidney stone pain is unrelenting.

KCat~~~And all this with the typing, punching, stapling episode? I’d get him to the demerol, so he would sleep a little, and maybe relax enough with lots of fluids to help get this stone out, and hope that daughters’ head isn’t aching this AM. God help you today.

Thank you Gretchen and frousse for your concern and support. I’m sorry that your hubby is so sick. Yes, it is easier to be the patient in some ways. Fortunately, this is a "temporary" problem though it may take a couple of weeks to get through and may take a trip to the ER though I’m praying it won’t. hmm… he might not want me to say what’s wrong but oh well – apparently a large kidney stone. It seemed to be over with last night but has started moving again just in the last hour so it’s not through the ureter yet. It just seemed like it all happened at once, my migraines, his stone, and the kid came home having bonked the hell out of her head at the football game. okay, so she did something rather silly but I was concerned she might have a concussion and I didn’t sleep well though she told me repeatedly she was fine. My migraine is gone at least – and the colon hs calmed down some. So it appears I’m the "healthy" one this weekend. Frightening thought. Sorry if I sounded like it was all "dire" – though I still worry because Mr. Man will not go to the ER – last time they just pumped him full of demerol and told him to let it pass. Don’t want to leave him home alone but have to take the kid to get her tires replaced (yep, Firestone ATXs) and this is the only opportunity to do it. >situation. The emotional pain I am feeling is much worse than the >physical pain I have.
I’m so sorry. You are both in my thoughts and prayers. ron is pretty darn healthy but I have an irrational fear of that changing, so when I hear that others are having to deal with very sick hubbies it just hurts so. I wish I could help somehow because I can imagine how frightening it must be. >Suddenly, you are the stronger one, and for those of us with SLE, that >can be a significant role change.
Oddly though, do you think your illness has somewhat prepared you for that role? >He says that at least he has a chance for a complete cure with surgery, >while SLE and the myriad of related problems are lifelong for most of >us.
That’s a good attitude for him to have on one level. >My thoughts and prayers are with you and your husband. Remember to >care for yourself, too, so you can continue to be there for him.
yeah – I ran out of plaquenil yesterday and had to leave him during the midst of the major pain and he was more worried about me missing too many doses than he was about being left alone. I doubt that mising a couple of days would be a big deal but I couldn’t convince him of that. take care and thanks again to both of you for asking. *********************************** KCat http://www.ghg.net/schwerpt/mypage.htm http://www.ghg.net/schwerpt/aslfaq20.htm ("`-”-/").___..–”"`-._ (`6_ 6 ) `-.

Response:
Having a sick spouse is even harder than having a sick kid, I think. My hubby is having serious health problems, too, and I am scared to death. My empathy is with you. It’s easier to be the patient, for me, because I know exactly what I’m feeling and have some control over the situation. The emotional pain I am feeling is much worse than the physical pain I have. I have new empathy for my hubby, as the spouse of someone with a chronic illness. I never realized how difficult it is to see the man you love have significant health problems. It shakes you to the core. Suddenly, you are the stronger one, and for those of us with SLE, that can be a significant role change. My hubby, too, is more empathetic. He says that at least he has a chance for a complete cure with surgery, while SLE and the myriad of related problems are lifelong for most of us. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your husband. Remember to care for yourself, too, so you can continue to be there for him. Gretchen Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
