Thank you 2017 for the bad start

in life •  8 years ago 

Plans for Christmas were made ready for some fun and family time, Hubby took 3 weeks off over Christmas so he could enjoy the festivities and relax with family THEN it started THE PAIN hubby started to complain about pain behind his ribs, his stomach was rock hard and very painful.

Glen had trouble years ago with a perforated bowl and since then has troubles with what he eats, he gets really bad Acid Reflux and indigestion, we thought this was what was wrong. We had a paramedic out a week ago who said he should take a glass of milk with some cookies that will help? We then phoned the hospital on Thursday night as the pain was even worse. They sent out the paramedics again thankfully this time it was someone different, they checked him over then took him to hospital. We were there in the emergeny department for 7 hours, those poor nurses and Drs they had so many patients it was like a cattle market.
THE UK GOVERNMENT SHOULD HANG THERE HEADS IN SHAME FOR WHAT THEY HAVE DONE TO OUR NHS

7 hours and loads of tests later he was given a bed for the night for more tests and strong medication to get him through the night. He has been told he has an infected Gall Bladder, he needs to stick to a low fat diet with the medication and a cat scan and if it doesn't calm down the Gall Bladder has to come out.

We have had 3 weeks of pain, Drs, Nurses and Hospitals, he could be on the sick for a few weeks meaning very low pay. IF only that 1st paramedic had pushed him to go to hospital to get checked out we wouldn't be in the position we are now.

Thank you 2017, New Year has let us down again

Ah immigration LOL, I am a Registered Nurse; I tried to get a j-o-b in England but I am to old for a work visa. You cannot get a work visa to that cloud obscured mad cow disease ridden hell hole if you are over age 30.

To work in the UK means almost less than minimum wage as an RN, but I was prepared to come work there and give service for poor wages. But the crazies running the mad house would not allow me LOL... So I say, Good Luck England ROFL ;) you deserve everything bad that happens to you :)

Ah America, these crazies would not allow me to work there even after passing my nursing licensure examination. So I decided instead of doing the correct thing and trying to work in the Good Ole USA the proper and legal way, I would start my own business...

This business is going awesomely well so far, so I MUST say a huge thank you to the retards who run the American bureaucracy, you are so lucky to have that weirdo going to make you great again LOL, again; you deserve everything bad that is gonna happen to you :)
Just remember usually the safest way to stay healthy is to stay a very long way from government licensed pharmaceutical drug dealers; I have been in health care my entire life and seen some great good things and some of the stupidiest dumb ship you would never believe.

Every time you visit a health professional you are playing Russian Roullette with your body, keep going to the doctors and like the casino; sooner or later you will lose. Take my most recent two examples man I am close to he goes to the doctor for a fairly routine issue, but even though this is not hard; they MANAGED TO GIVE HIM A BLOOD CLOT lol :)
They had one chance to hurt him and harm him they managed, note this was a medical induced complication not biology. Personally if governments do not want Registered Nurses, then I love people and love helping people I will gladly swap scrubbing bed pans for raising money to help worthy REAL charities LOL . . .
The NHS is welcome to all the cutbacks they will continue to receive and like always it is the decent middle average people who will suffer the most :) That is a fact of life, bad things happen to good people...
Ain't Life Grand ;)

Erm excuse me there is nothing wrong with The people of the UK its the morons who are supposed to run the UK that deserve something bad. THEY have the working class on there knees and killing off all the disabled

If the people of the UK want something different all they need to do is one thing...
All the people need to do is tell their elected representatives they are guaranteed to be FIRED after one term in office. Once you take the prestige (vomit) and [ money] out of politics you will start getting people entering politics who truly know how to make a difference...

And the crazy people of the UK are more likely to start wearing their underwear on the outside of their clothing than to start mass firings off of professional politicians...

We are def not crazy we are wore down with the elite taking everything leaving the poor with nothing they have caused uproar here but seem to be getting away with making there own rules. Don't tar us all with the same brush

Every country has 80 % of its population just being good solid reliable citizens, then you have the other 20 % getting all the attention and causing all the grief.

It is just what I myself object to is the silent 80% majority having to be forgotten and ripped off due to the worthless and useless public image 20% of cretins and scumbags...

This is wrong and until the 80% majority grow some kahunas and demand change then the crazy 20 % will continue to get away with their scams...

Very true, the 20% have to much of everything and think they more important than anyone else.

reply from below,,,
no the 20 % do not have everything, the FIVE % have everything and feel they deserve even more, then u have the other 15% who have nothing and will never have nothing and feel they need everyone else to provide for them...

It's very interesting post dear @karenb54!!
Hard work ...

Thank you

I am sorry that your new year started this badly! I hope hubby will be feeling better really soon!

Thank you, Hopefully that's all the bad stuff over with for the year .

The same thing happened to my brother a few years back. It took them ages to diagnose it! He eventually had his GB removed and his symptoms improved.

Same here, first it was acix reglux then they sad had a backed up bowel then gall stones when we Eventually got to the gall bladder.

I am sorry to read this dear friend @ karenb54, but you do not have to lose faith, everything is going to change

Thank you. I hope so it's about time i had some good times

A huge pain being in the emerg for so long.....but be comforted knowing that his gallbladder has a chance to heal and the pain he suffered wasn't a bowel obstruction like you thot it could have been.
I've had my gallbladder removed. The pain was "interesting". I fully recovered altho it took a bit of time.
I hope your hubby adheres to the low fat diet and is on the mend quickly. He's home now right?

He's coming me today. We are all going on the low fat diet easier if we all stick to it then no temptation :)

Oh you're such a good wife.....two are better than one that's for sure....much easier.

Thank you. He has jaundice the Gall stones are blocking his bile ducts they have to be removed then when he's healthier his gall bladder will have to be removed.

Oh that is awful! I suppose if you look on the bright side, when health problems emerge you get an opportunity to deal with the cause to improve long term health. Spending all time at the hospital and seeing your husband suffer is really terrible though. You have my sympathy.

Thank you. The waiting is horrible when you can't do anything to help.

I would always rather be sick myself than watch someone else close to me in pain.

Me too :(

Thank you . Hes going to be in longer than we thought, he's jaundice the gallstones are blocking his bile ducts. Bloody men lol

aaaaw no :(

Bloody fed up, it's one thing after another. I could scream grr

Sad to read this. Good luck for the rest of the year! I hope things will improve!

I would be so lucky he's going to be in longer, hes jaundice the gallstones are blocking his bile ducts and his gall bladder has to come out

:(

oh my goodness @karenb54! I am so sorry that you and your husband are going through this. Hopefully his pain is under control? I'm off to read part two.
Let's pray that this was the worst of 2017 and it gets better as the year progresses. It has to, right? It's not even mid-January yet! XOXOX
