To make it short and sweet, in 03 my hubby got hurt, spent 14 months off of work, multiple surgeries, and finally lost 2 fingers.
Fast forward, now he is having heart problems. He keeps going into A-fib. We've been bouncing in and out of the E room, had him shocked back into time several times. Multiple tests, drugs, etc. He's on a drug for his A-fib and a blood thinner to prevent stroke.
We are lucky, we have great insurance and a flex benny card to pick up the slack, and we both have secure jobs, But he tells me tonight he's only taking half his medicine and has not has his blood checked in a month, because he's worried about what it costs. *faints dead away*
I know he is not a good patient, he does not like to take pills, but jeez. We saw his heart Dr. yesterday and made arrangements to see a surgeon who specializes in his issues and he drops this bomb on me!
I'm getting back on board with my food and exercise, and now this? I don't want to detract from his issues, but for the love of God, come on, dude, I can't do it for you.
I have an appt to get a fatty tumor taken out of my lip and I haven't seen the gyno or had a mammo in 5 years, he says get it done, but then tells me in the next breath "I don't understand his feelings"
This isn't really going anywhere, except I feel better getting it off my chest! And it will keep from whopping him upside the head with a skillet!
Thanks for listening!
