Worried (Again)

[sherrardk]

Himself had emergency surgery on a ruptured brain aneurysm last July and has recovered brilliantly (but with lots of hedaches). However, at a recent check-up they discovered that there is some re-filling of the anuerysm site (they are keeping an eye on him but the next appointment is not until the end of May so they obviously don't view it as urgent). Whilst out today he became unwell (felt sick, bad head, etc). He now says he feels better and I have asked him if he wants/needs to go to the doctors or hospital. Should I make him go anyway to get him checked out?

Yes, don't delay. It's probably nothing, I don't know, but you need to tell them how he felt. Better to go and it be nothing than the other alternative xxx

[ummmm]

I would insist, Sher xx

[rockyracoon]

So would I Sherr.

[sherrardk]

I have told him I am worried sick and I want him to think about going to get it checked (I have to get the kids from school now), I really want him checked over but he is a stubborn sod :(

[mccfluff]

guilt trip him, tell him to think of you and the kids & to stop being so selfish

We have been through these "ups and downs" before in the last 6 months or so.

The only question to be answered is......"Is the aneurysm leaking again?"

Nausea and headache alone which has now cleared up, would suggest that it isn't.

I would not seek medical help at this stage.

The decision is yours.

[ummmm]

He could be just saying he feels alright to put Sher's mind at ease. Not uncommon!

[rockyracoon]

That's what I'm thinking, my OH would do it.

I would,,,,,,,,better safe than sorry.
