I am a little concerned about my hubby....

Prayers on the way.

Carole, prayers are on the way for hubby and you. Keep the faythe.

[Randi]

I hope it's nothing serious. Tell him to drink lots of water, eat healthy, get some exercise (half an hours walk a day, at least) and not to stress about anything.

Carole, I'm sending positive thoughts to your husband, and to you!

[joycenalex]

lots of positive thoughts. maybe the heat and dehydration are doing him wrong?

[carole]

Thank you all so much for the positive thoughts and prayers, means so much to me, i got his blood pressure wrong way around, i seem to be doing that lately lol, it was 90/70, i wish it were just the heat, but i really do not think so, it is not that hot at the moment,he does eat healthy, i make sure of it, as i do,but he does not exercise at all, been trying to get him to do that, and is not in an active type job, so needs to really, he is having daily headaches, i was thinking it might be stress, although he says work is fine, and he is not stressed, we always have to worry a bit about money, but then who doesn't ? sometimes you can be stressed and dont even know it.

I don't think he eats enough, he eats well, but for a man probably not enough, i can match him no problem at all, and oh yes i can give him some of my weight too, wish i could, i am on WWatchers at the moment, and i am trying to feed him up, it is hard,me decreasing my food intake and him increasing,but i am really strong right now and doing well,so gotta do what you gotta do eh?

Anyhow getting bloods done today, so we shall have to wait about another week, i know he thinks it is something bad, and i am worried it might be,the doctor was a bit blunt really, saying it could be a brain tumour or cancer,which does not really help matters, and saying it rings warning bells, considering his age 51 etc,i guess he was just preparing us, but usually they are not quite that forward about it,it did not frighten me because i had already done my research, but i am sure it did not help Steve really.

I hope i can come back next week with positive news,keeping my fingers and paws all crossed here too.

My sister goes to her specialist today as well to see what surgery she needs for her oestoarthritis, so i am concerned for her too,it always happens together doesn't it?

I wish doctors would stop putting fear into our heads!!! When my son caught that virus last year that partially paralyzed him for 3 weeks, one of the doctors scared the daylights out of him, telling him that it could possibly be Lou Gehrig's disease. It wasn't but that dr. caused us many unnecessary sleepless nights. I do understand that doctors probably feel that they need to cover all the bases, perhaps for insurance purposes, perhaps not, but if they don't know what's wrong w/someone, I wish they would just SHUT UP until they do know. I'm sorry that the dr. said that to your husband. To tell you to put it out of your mind is probably pointless because it's now the "elephant in the room". However, please do your best to remain positive and try not to let fear creep in. Fear in itself can be devastating. Prayers are continuing for your husband and you, Carole.

Ain't that the truth Mary, you know i was so suprised when he came out with all those things, usually the Dr's here are really cagey, i end up asking them you don't think it is this or that, but he just came out with it,I already had done my research, so i was not shocked by what he said, but it did not help my husbands state of mind, you know he jokingly said a while back, think i must have a brain tumour, because of the burning in his head, i so hope he is wrong.

I am thinking positive, trying my hardest to do that,and i know it could be other things, so i am not thinking the worst, but i can see hubby is looking depressed now, i know having daily headaches is the pitts ,been there,and when there was a big break up in his family over his mothers death, long story, not going there, he suffered terrible stress and had daily headaches and lost weight, but i cannot think of anything that would be stressing him out to that degree.

Just have to wait and see, thanks for you support, yeah Richard my hubby is a bit like your mother in that respect, won't admit to it i think.

[K9karen]

Lots of prayers for Steve!

[RICHARD]

sometimes you can be stressed and dont even know it.

Why are you channelling my mom?

That sentence MUST be written somewhere in the MOM HANDBOOK.

She would tell me that very same line all the time!

No worries, everything will work out!
