Thank you everyone for your concern and support. Tomorrow hubby goes for anuclear test for his kidney. Hopefully he will get through it ok. He is supposed to lay flat for this test which has been a problem since his sci but I spoke to a nurse at the place and she said they could elevate his head. I also called the doc and got him some ativan so…[Read more]

I have been thinking of you! Thank you so much for keeping us posted. Let us know how it goes tomorrow.

Do you need a WAIT Buddy tomorrow? We have volunteers who send text messages during waits–like a hospitalization or a procedure or a test. If you need one, just send me a private message.

Hi denise thank you. Friday day morning we went to see the kidney specialist. For now they are changing some of his mess and sending him for some tests. I guess for now they are going to keep a close eye on him and keep checking his kidney function and go from there

Got some really bad news at the doctors this morning my husbands left kidney is blocked so therefore it is not functioning. He said if we don’t try to unblock it he will end up on dyalasis and if we do go in and unblock it there still is a chance he could end up on dyalasis. Either way the out come is not good. I don’t know how much more either…[Read more]

In reply to: jill posted an update in the group Spinal Cord Injury Does any one have any ideas on what I can say when tom gets discouraged? Even though he’s getting better he gets upset cause he has no strength in his right arm. View

I can’t thank you enough for your help. Tom did come back last night and acted like I deserved to be treated that way. I don’t know how to make him understand how much he hurts me sometimes.

Jill, These moments are always tough. But the best I can suggest is patience and to let him get it out of his system. However, at the same time..you are right..with all the new tasks you are taking on..it can wear you down. One day…when he’s calm talk to him about it. Let him know that if he needs to do that…that it is okay…as long as…[Read more]
