Could I ask you all to please say a few prayers for Cheesehead? Well, for US? I'm hoping that our insurance decides to have some better coverage for THIS visit than it did the last one, I've already got collection agencies calling me daily about my old home's second mortgage that I can't afford to pay. I am also hoping that he doesn't end up working late like he usually does AND that he doesn't "accidentally" forget his appointment, I wouldn't put it past him. He HATES going to the doctor and I usually have to drag him in kicking and screaming. I'm hoping his friends at work urge him to remember his appointment and remind him to go.
I called and talked to his doctor's nurse today about the vomiting of blood (discussed at the well visit that had no follow up as of yet), the oncoming kidney stones that were diagnosed via the blood tests from previously mentioned visit, and the hernia I think he's developed. I also think he's suffering from depression. With all of the stuff we're going through, who wouldn't be? I hope the nurse took notes on our phone call because I'm sure that most of these issues will slip Cheesehead's mind.
There were no openings in the schedule but she got him worked in as soon as he's done working tomorrow. Usually I go to these appointments with him since he never mentions his problems and when we do discuss them he makes them seem like no big deal. I usually go to set the record straight. I have a job at JWMS in 8th grade math tomorrow, I offered to cancel so I could take him but I think he's seeing dollar signs now that I finally have a job on my calendar.
Frankly we desperatley need the money so I'm still going to work. Somehow I've got the feeling that I'm going to be all nerves tomorrow until I hear what's going on.
I still haven't heard about Son's medial tests either. That may be a good thing though, if it were serious I'd think they'd place a phone call to me. If you're worried about one thing, there's about a million to worry about. Am I right?
Thank you for stopping by. Please leave me a message and a backlink. I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Sending prayers to you and your family. I hope your DH is going to be fine and won't have to worry. I hope your son is going to fine too. Hang in there(-:
I'm sending prayers too. You have so much on you right now. I can't imagine how you are holding up. Glad you got the job. I'm hoping too that your son's test will come back with some helpful advice. Hugs to ya.
Cindee and Anna- Thanks for your prayers. If it weren't for the grace of God I don't think I'd be holding up at all right now, I'd probably be a big blubbering mass of jelly or something. We'll muddle through somehow!
Cheesehead was given an rx for the nausea, Dr thinks he tears his stomach lining. Nothing else was done about anything though since there apparently aren't any problems with his health. I know I don't have a medical degree or anything but somehow I just have a hard time believing that all of these problems coinciding together is "normal".
Am I crazy for questioning the do nothing approach?
Well it very well could be true. I have heard of those symptoms with an ulcer. I would think if he were more ill then tests would have shown it. I would keep the faith I am sure he will recover soon. He needs to take it easy and try not to stress out. Easier said then done though I am sure. Stress can do all kinds of things to your body.
I'm sorry about the report. If he went in with the attitude that he wasn't all that sick, then the dr probably didn't think so either. Men-errrrrr....they don't truly tell how they feel. I will continue to pray.
I'm praying for you, too. The stomach problem sounds like an ulcer to me as well, if he keeps having trouble they should do an upper GI. He really shouldn't dismiss vomiting blood as no big deal-it really can be. Better to fix it now before it becomes a hospital stay later!
You are all in my prayers!
Love and hugs,
Kathi :)
