littleleicesterfox Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 DH was rushed into RUH in Bath yesterday with acute pancreatitis. Now I've started the thread I don't know what to say! As you can tell I'm at sixes and sevens. I know I should eat but nothing really appeals. Sorry, I just needed somewhere to try and garner my thoughts. I wish I could see him but visitng is not until 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 This is the place to be, you will get loads of good wishes and positive vibes. You can offload all you need and get support back. Because you are his wife the visiting hours shouldn't be as strict. My dad had had 2 long spells in hospital over the past couple of years and my mum has spent as much time with him as possible which was good for both of them. She just used to stay until she was told to leave or he was taken for tests etc. Thinking of you and wishing your husband a speedy recovery (((hugs))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Oh, how worrying for you Sending you and your OH great big ((((hugs)))) and best wishes. xxxxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 As Chickencam says, you're in the right place! You need to make sure you are okay and don't go fainting through stress and not eating. I know you really can't face eating, how about a cup of tea with a sugar in? This usually helps me. Or even a cup of soup or Bovril. Hope you OH is comfortable and gets well soon!

Mrs Frugal Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Oh poor chap and poor you having all the worry and not knowing what's happening. I agree with Chickencam about visiting times. It's worth enquiring to see if they are more flexible for close family. They often are. Hope he's soon feeling much better. Thinking of you both.

Old Speckled Hen Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Hey, take care both of you. Hospital should let you see him any time apart from meals and consultant rounds. Don't worry we're all rooting for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..lay a little egg for me Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Oh dear, so sorry to hear that. I'm sure you will be able to visit as much as you need. Don't worry about not feeling like eating...a bluekarin says, a cup of Bovril or soup or similar will keep you going. Sending positive vibes to you both.

Plum Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Sorry to hear about DH hope they fix him quick. Its horrid waiting for visiting time why not just drop in and say can you see him and if not then a bit of retail therapy may take your mind off things.

jackiepoppies Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 So sorry to hear your news. I am sure things will improve and don't worry about visiting.......I am sure they will be flexible. Have a cup of something while you're on here, you'll be so engrossed it'll slip down easily........until it sprays all over the screen with something like ANHs tale. I would post it here, but I'm a pooter numpty and don't know how Very best wishes to you both. Jx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Oh poor you (and poor him, but he's probably dosed up to the eyeballs and getting lots of attention). It's harder to be the one who isn't ill, sometimes. My neighbour had this, very frightening and very painful but it turned out to be caused by gallstones and once she had her gallbladder out, no more problems. I hope by the time you see him you knw a bit more about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Poor OH and poor you . I hope he's on the mend and that you're taking all that advice to look after yourself . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
