I am so thankful we have a quality hospital with caring medical personnel less than 10 miles from home.
Himself woke up today with serious pain that was presenting the same symptoms as when had back problems nearly 15 years ago, and again around 10 years ago. It took him nearly all afternoon to get dressed and down the steps to the car so that I could drive him to the ER. A lot of poking and prodding later, along with a cat scan (no felines were harmed during the scan) and evaluation, and a GENEROUS dose of meds, he was sent on his way. I had already talked with the staff in our PCP's office twice today, so they will be greeted in the morning with details of what went on at the hospital this evening/night. My guess is our doctor will look at the scans and order up a MRI. Probably give us a referral to a neurosurgeon, although Himself does have one he saw before that accepts our medical insurance.
I am getting a bit annoyed with how often Himself has broken since we've been married. I spend way too much time sitting and waiting with him in doctors offices and hospitals. The only time he had to minister to me was when I had the babies...and even
then he was partly responsible for getting me in that situation.
