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
