OT: Freaking Out!

I don't know where the freaking out emoticon is?

For the last couple of weeks we've been thinmking that the root of DH's stomach problem has been ulcers according to what the general doctor suspected. Well this morning he finally got in with a gasrto specialist by the 1st doctor's referral and they couldn't give him any concrete reasons for why he's been so bad :(. DH thought it would be a simple doctor's visit and instead the doctor told him he couldn't go back to work and had to get bloodwork done right away?! I guess because he's young and should be in relatively good health the doctor doesn't think he should wait to have tests. I HATE doctors! They won't tell you anything and instead I sit here like a ball of nerves. Can't they even give you a clue as to what they might THINK could be wrong!? UGH!

So now DH is off getting bloodwork done this morning, and I have to take off work next Mon and the Mon after that because they're going to do more tests on DH will require him to be put under.....To be honest I was hoping the specialist would say "yep, it's ulcers. change your diet and be less stressed", lol and than we could get on with it, but now with the dr. saying it could be nothing or it could be something serious, I don't know, I try NOT to let it stress me out but it does.

It seems like if it's not one thing to worry about it's another, YKWIM.

Thanks for hearing me out, I needed it.

deciding to be happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect, but that you had decided to look beyond the imp

Thanks ladies. I really appreciate your being an ear to rant and rave to in life's surprising moments :)

DH got the bloodwrk done this morning, so it's just a waiting game until those results come in, and we'll see what the doctor has to say next Mon. after that procedure.

Thanks again for the good wishes. :)
