My wife's been sick

[indyrob]

My wife (not really married, but might as well be....) has been very sick for the past week. 3 trips to the hospital and not a single concrete diagnosis. the only thing in common with the 2 opinions we've received is that it *might* be her gall bladder but they are not sure. She's gone 8 days w/o being able to hold anything down...little, if any, sleep...and today she was able to bounce out of bed and rejoin the living.

Just wanted to let out a sigh of relief...whew!

Hooray for her feeling better! That's awesome. Sorry to hear they haven't figured out what's wrong though. Best of luck to both of you!

I'm glad your wife's feeling better today. Just don't be too quick to jump on the gallbladder bandwagon. It's become the most common surgery in the last decade. Many doctors are starting to think that many of those operations are unnecessary. Seems like half the people I know have had their gallbladders removed.

Glad she's feeling better Rob. Being sick sucks. THe only thing worse is your spouse or a kid.

Thanks guys...I/we appreciate it. It's a hard time for the both of us, her sick and me helpless to give her comfort. I hope that her Dr.s work something out soon.

Good news....but boy, it is strange, huh? Odd how modern medicine still can't even diagnose seemingly common things. <shrug>

Hope all keeps going well for her...I had my gallbladder out 2 years ago and man what a relief...spent 3 long years with on and off sickness..I ate alot of peppermint puffs to help with the stomach and it helped alot..

..I ate alot of peppermint puffs to help with the stomach and it helped alot..

Was that during the attacks? We usually have a couple bags of those around the house all the time. I'll have to suggest that to her.

Both of you hang in there! Glad to hear that she seems to be feeling better.

Good to hear she's feeling better, but you might want to make sure she keeps a daily diary of activities, diet and symptoms just in case it flares up again. Even these days, doctors depend highly on the patient to help with a diagnosis.
