Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
I will tell him to call his doctor in the morning then. Hopefully he will be okay overnight.
The doctor told us that the surgery went well. We haven’t ever had infections from surgeries in the past. I remembered though, in the recovery room that the nurse said we had to let the doctor know if he started running a fever.
This seems like DH has had a significant change today/tonight since you said he’s not a whiner .
Call the surgeons number now , answering service should answer call and either his surgeon will call you back or a surgeon that is covering will call you back .
If you don’t get a call back from the surgeon , I think I would just go to the ER. Don’t let DH eat or drink anything else tonight .
So, the discharge paper work says call if it is above 100.8. It’s 100.2 now.
Why can’t he drink? He was sipping some apple juice earlier.
He said that there is a 24 hour number on the discharge papers from the hospital so he’s calling.
He’s been achy. Isn’t that normal though? He’s telling the doctor that he has had pain and feels weaker.
He rotated with Tylenol and ibuprofen like the doctor told him to do.
They just told him to take his blood pressure.
I hope that he is okay. Are infections common after surgery?
I said not to give him anymore to eat or drink just in case the surgeon decided
to open him up to “ take a look “ inside .
Okay. Gee, I hope that doesn’t happen.
He is on the phone with the nurse telling her that his wife told him to call. You know how men can be. They try to tough it out at times.
The nurse said that she is contacting his doctor. I guess they will call him back shortly.
Good the doctor is calling back . Make sure whatever doctor calls back knows that his surgery was nearly 10 days ago .He should be feeling better , not worse
Will y’all please say a prayer? Thanks.
I didn’t expect this. I guess I am more upset because he had a good check up recently. Wasn’t expecting anything else to be an issue.
His oncologist said his numbers were good and everything since his radiation treatments awhile back for his prostate cancer.
I was so concerned about that. I didn’t think much about this procedure because it is a minor thing.
Sorry, I started thinking back about when I was so afraid for him. He was fortunate enough to catch his cancer early.
I have to go. Will talk later.
Keep us posted .
He will be Ok.
He is in good hands at the hospital.
He will be OK.
He will recover.
He will be fine.
He will go home soon.
Need: Prayers for DH.
Still waiting to speak with the doctor. I was hoping that he would be coming home with me tonight. Wish the doctor would come in and talk to us.
My daughters want to know how he is but I haven’t spoken to the doctor to be able to let them know what is going on.
It IS cold in hospitals. One time with my mother at hospital I was very cold - took hours to warm up.
Maybe I will ask for a blanket. My husband told me that also. I thought that I would get use to it but I am shivering.
Llama,
I don’t know what is going on. The nurse said that they want to watch him and they are probably going to admit him. Waiting on the doctor to see what is going on.
My husband told me if I wanted to go home that he will call me to tell me what the doctor said. I don’t know what I want to do. Part of me wants to go home and part of me wants to stay with my husband.
Whatever you decide take care. Get yourself a cup of tea or something soothing if you can. I doubt the hospital cafeteria is still open but they might be able to get you something.
You could go home and when the doctor comes DH can call you and use speaker on his phone so you can hear what the doctor says .
