Prayers for hubby - PLEASE!!

[catnapper]

As you might remember, my husband has blood pressure issues. The last doctor's appointment has taken care of him refusing to take his meds -- he does it religiously now. I don't know what the doctor said to him in the last meeting but it was sufficient enough to scare him into taking them at the same time every day. He takes them every day too.

Last night he complained of a tightness in his chest. By bedtime he decided it was due to pulling a muscle along his back and shoulder.... guess which shoulder? Yup the left one I told him last night he needs to make an appointment with the doctor because that just didn't sound right. If it is his shoulder they can fix it. If its actually his heart, he NEEDS to go!!!!

He just called me from work. He must have been feeling worse this morning because he actually went to the school nurse. His BP is SKY HIGH and she told him no ifs and or butts, he needed to make an appointment TODAY. So he called the dr. got an appt. for 5:50 tonight. She told him he has to go EARLIER.... so now he's scared and I'm feaking out. SO I called and got an appt. for 1:40.

I called work and let them know I will be late for tonight's shift. I HAVE to be at this appointment (because I need to go for myself and also the school nurse won't let him drive himself to the appt )And I WILL be sitting down with the kids and telling them that they are actually killing their father...... he's VERY stressed out right now at the state of things with his older two kids.


PLEASE, can I have some of those wonderful PT prayers for my husband? And maybe for the ungreatful brats that are stressing hubby out? I could use a hundred threads to numerate all the things his older two kids have been doing lately.

You and Hubby will be in my thoughts. I hope the kids will come around and be "grown-ups" eventually. If I remember correctly, they are both "legal" adults, right?

Yes, our son is 21 and the other is 19 with a baby. She told him yesterday she didn't have any money to let him borrow for gas, yet she spent near $100 on mineral cosmetics at the "fancy" mall. then since she was out all day shopping (I only know about the makeup, I wonder what else she bought yesterday... she never goes to that mall without a few bags of clothing too) anyway, since she was out all day, he told her he wanted her home for a good night's sleep since her grades are awful and she's always sooooo tired. She went out anyway, and still wasn't home at 1:00.

I really hope the 'kids' wake up...

Because they are living at home, find out if there is a legal way for you and hubby to handle their money and 'dole' it out...

Just the mention of that might smarten them up.

Otherwise, have a look at family counselling...if your hubby is getting this sick, then I'd say it's an emergency. I hope his doc might recommend it - or even see the kids and point things out to them. If he can scare your hubby into changing, maybe he can have an effect on them too.

I hope you can get control of the finances....PRAYERS for all of you!

Your hubby is in my prayers. I hope everything turns out OK. This must be so scary for you all, I'm sorry that you all have to go threw this

Yup.... you have no idea the stuff she's been pulling lately. A week or so ago, she and I came home at the same time. She went to greet Cam, he ran right past her to me. He wanted nothing to do with her. If I were him, I wouldn't want anything to do with her either... hey wait... I already want nothing to do with her at the moment! Spooky irony!

Well, I have to go pick hubby up. I'm nervous and feeling quite faint myself right now. Please wish us luck. I will update you after we're back, but not til late tonight since I'll drop him back off home and head to work myself.

Oh Kim keep us updated hun. You and hubby are definately in my prayers right now. Cadience and I will keep our fingers crossed that everything is ok. I would definately have a talk with the kids no ifs and or buts from hubby. He needs to start caring for himself now.

Prayers for you and hubby.

Best wishes for hubby, and you, Kim. I hope all is well and he can get that BP down quickly and keep it down. Thoughts and prayers going out right away.

Kim,

You and Grant will be in my thoughts and prayers. You have been through so much these past couple of years.

This is what I would do:

As far as the kids are concerned, you need to round them up and tell them the way it's GONNA BE or get out!! Grant's health is much too important. Ashley needs to get Cam into day care to socialize with kids his own age.

As far as your son is concerned, tell him he has exacty 60 days to find a place of his own or he'll have to start paying rent, then stick to it.

Your kids are working you over girl. Why go anywhere when you can stay put and have a roof over your head, food in your belly and a little spending money for free???

This whole situation has gotten way out of hand. You need to be straight with them and stick to your guns.

Please keep us posted.

Kim, I'm so sorry to hear this. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way. I hope that you'll both start feeling better soon.

As for the young adults, they need to live by your rules or they need to move out. You can't let them control you. I hope you can work something out.

I completely agree with Donna. Start opening that can of Whoop Butt on those kids.
