My dh is a stubborn one...............

And  I am having fits over that!


His back has been a problem for sometime now... but yesterday he came home from work and was really complaining.   I had a look and the lower part of his back over where the discs are is all swollen and bruised. 


He has degenerative disc disease as well as other stuff... so I am thinking perhaps some of his discs collapsed and caused some hemorrhaging.


Now what I am upset about is he has not gone to the Dr.  DD and I  bugged him so badly yesterday so he called and his Dr is not in for 2 weeks, so he said ok and didn't make an appointment to see any Dr.


Well we are  forcing him to go to the drop in clinic in town hopefully tomorrow.   HE wont take time off work so  have to wait till he gets home then we are going to hog tie him and take him in.


Boy men are so stubborn... but in all truthfulness I am as well... just not to the extent he is.



Ah well!  just another day in the life o.......


Have a good day all!

Well, Lor, he sounds like a typical male to me....puts off going to the doctor til it's so far along that he'll be off work for some time. Instead of going right away before it gets so bad.


My Dh is the same way. Will work through pain and even make things worse. It's not even satisfying to me to say "I told you so." Ya feel bad for them being in so much pain.

Hi Lor


Men sometimes you just have to wonder. Your dh should have at least made an appt for when he could huh? I sure hope he will go to the walk in clinic and they will be able to convince him to go see his Dr. This is something that will probably not get better by ignorning it and I am sure he knows that too. My dh is waiting to get a brace the Dr ordered for his left knee. He needs to get a cortisone shot but will not and also needs to consider replacement

I do know why he is putting it off... he was told that he is at the point that an operation is really his only option.. and well he feels he can not take care of us when he is not able to work. So he
