Worst 2 Frickin' weeks EVER!

[Crafty Angler]

Bob, I feel your pain...

I had to rush my wife to the Newport ER Wednesday before Thanksgiving because she was doubled over and screaming in pain after leaving work after an hour.

I thought it was a burst appendix given her pain and condition - wanted to dig the spurs in the old Jeep rocket for a speed run to Prov. or Boston but started to think she wouldn't make it that far. In retrospect wish I'd called the rescue wagon. After a 2 hour wait in the ER - -they admitted her and a CAT scan revealed a large stone lodged against her kidney and a severe kidney infection.

She went into surgery Thanksgiving morning for a stent and got released a few days later, she's home now but not exactly a speedy recovery, she still a pretty sick girl. I've never seen her that sick in the 30 years we've been together, scared me ****less.

Don't currently have health insurance either - I plan on being seated when the hospital bill arrives, it ain't gonna be pretty.

Anyway...best wishes for a speedy recovery to all and if it's any consolation, I sure know the feeling...

i remember my fingers practically puncturing the leather
on the hospital table pad....i was clenching it so hard in agony ...


Hope she feels better soon....

They always say if you think its serious to call an ambulance and they get you right in....otherwise a damn long wait in the waiting room! Soory all have been sick Bob! Better times ahead for you folks I hope!

Bob Sorry to hear about your family...speedy recovery is wished for all.
I have been sick since Thanksgiving...I pray that whatever this can't breathe for crap virus is that it doesn't end me in the ER like it did to you. My little boys have been sick since Saturday.
Although my rib does hurt when I cough but thats because its a floating one (its not connected to my tissue!) it just pops when I cough my head off. Gross!
My grandmother has ended up in the ER on a bipap breathing machine thanks to whatever this is. I think her visit to my house on Thanksgiving might have moved this virus right along.
It's nasty! Try to stay away at all costs!

I hope you feel better soon.
It has been through my house already.
It took the better part of 3 weeks.
Probably should have went to the hospital and it wouldn't have lasted so long.
