Pain



Well I just posted a reply to someone who's husband is having a terrible time with flank plank,feeling sweaty and is having ongoing Bi- weekly repeat  E.R visits.His wife said he will go  from feeling o.k. to needing to vomit,like NOW!!! All after having surgical stents removed for kidney stone removal that took place weeks ago..I responded to her with my story and  a big you GO girl!!! She's not only standing by her man through the repeat E.R. visits,driving him back and forth to the many tests and M.D. Appts. ect.. but is  also going above  all of the "expected" duties I'm sure, to take care of their household  kids, job, ect..caregiving is a thankless job for countless wifes,husbands,family members,and good friends of us, the frustrated and sick who are left to seek out the answers to all the medical problems we seem to face sometimes on a minute to minute basics we tend to think we  struggle alone  and from time to time we are alone in our pain, sometimes we can not even control what happens to our bodies try though we might, we need help and struggle for support from the pain and the harsh reality of how cold and sterile the medical world can be.If it wasn't for that friendly hand to hold, that knowing glance as you led off into that cloaked freezing cold room,well let's just say I'm VERY lucky to have those people in my life and wish the same for ANYONE who has to go it alone,next time please take my hand if you don't have one to hold. In the meantime .I thank all of you, the caregivers who help us get through the rough times,the ups and downs on this "Rocky Path".here's to health,Puddles66

So true. And thanks so much for reminding us to thank those around us ... next time we go to the ER alone, make sure to grab your laptop and get somebody to reach out to us here on the communities .... you are never really ever alone!
