Need Your Support

Actually I though I would never have to post something like this. That shows how wrong I was, huh...(?)

Had to put my spouse in the hospital yesterday. She has had increasing right-sided flank pain for the past week. Many tests run both yesterday & today. Full results from today's tests not in yet. I probably shouldn't be so worried, but several years ago she had four colon resections in one year due to diverticulitis. Those surgeries hence caused obvious muscle weakness and she has had three hernia repair surgeries since that time.

All I know at this time is that cancer has been ruled out. Thank You so much, my friends, and may God bless all.

I am glad cancer has been ruled out and I wish her all the success in the world curing her difficulty. Personally I recoginize the difficulty you are experiencing.

Adjudicator, its most appropriate Paul responded to your message first. Thank you for including the roadfood family in the good and not so good parts of your life. I'm praying all goes well.

Praying for your wife Adjudicator. Hope she feels better real soon.

Sorry to hear about your wife but glad to hear it's not cancer. Hope they get to the root of the problem soon so she can get treated and feel better!

Adjudicator, I hope they can find the source of the problem and make her feel better right soon. Don't let up on the Doctors. Make them do every test they can. Don't let them get away with pain of unknown origin, or anything like that.

I swear, the poor doctors have their hands tied half the time because of HMO's, etc, which keep them from doing the job they wish to do.

Adjudicator- you have my prayers and hopes for the best for your wife! Not that we don't love our wives from day to day, but it is at times like these that we realize just how much they mean to us, and just how much they impact (In a good way!) our lives on a daily basis! My wife had several surgeries last year, and has an appointment with a surgeon next month to discuss another surgery. While none are for any life-threatening problems, I still am aware of the complications that can arise during any surgery, and it is in those times that I realize that there are many, many things in life that I can do without, and that my wonderful wife is definitely NOT one of those things!! Don't feel that you should not worry so much- while your wife's medical problems may not warrant such worry- your love for her definitely does warrant such worry! Hang in there, and God bless you and your wife!

My thoughts and prayers are here for you and your wife's complete recovery. Blessings sent in your direction.

My family's thoughts and prayers are with you, ajudicator.

You have my support.

MOre and more I find my prayers are for any and all who suffer in any way, are handicapped in any way, or who are in need of much in their lives. My prayers go out to each and all of you good and friendly people who are of the Roadfood Family and right now especially for you and your wife, Adjudicator.

Joe,
Bless you and your wife. Janet will include your need for support in her church's prayer circle tomorrow. We wish all the best for your wife during this procedure.

Mystery solved !!! Flow test results made available today. My spouse will have a cholecystectomy, probably Monday. Thank God that that is all it was / is! What threw everyone concerned off was that my spouse had these SAME tests done less that six months ago and everything was OK. My wife means the world to me. My world would collapse without her, and I would probably cease to exist as a person without her by my side. I would like to thank all that responded both to this thread and in personal E-Mails to me. I KNOW where many of my TRUE friends are, now. ===>>> Right HERE!

Hello All,
Adjudicator, Thank God this is turning out well.
My prayers will continue for her and you.
I know the feeling of how our mates mean the world to us.
God Bless and...
Take Care,
Fieldthistle

Joe, I'm glad to see that things have improved from the original post. Sorry I didn't see this before.

G-d bless you both, my friend.

I just read about this. I'm happy to hear the good news.

Be well and take care.

Mark

Good news, Adjudicator. Take good care of her and yourself. Is she going to have it laparoscopically?

Great news! She will feel so much better. I do hope they do it laparoscopically, you heal so much faster. I know she's ready to come home. Hospitals are no fun. Sending out healing vibes!

ADJ

Good to hear things are looking up, I have thought of you often the past couple of days. I hope she is up and about soon.

Take Care, give her a hug and kiss for all of us.

Adjudicator, I am so happy to hear the good news for both you and your wife. Please let us know how the surgery goes. Healing prayers for your wife.

Best of luck to your wife today, and to you also. Chow Jim

Adjudicator, I am so happy that the professionals are taking care of your wife. You are so sweet to be concerned for her. When you originally said "flank pain" it made me think of the kidney stone procedure I recently went through. My husband wasn't nearly as concerned or attentive. As a matter of fact when the nurse noticed his cell phone during the admitting process she said she could just call him at the procedure was over (it was out-patient.) He leaned over, kissed me on my cheek, wished me good luck and left cartoon dust (think RoadRunner)through the exit door. Ahhhh. It is wonderful to see that romance & caring is still alive and well.

Great news Joe, great news indeed.

Joe,
Please keep us posted on your wife's condition. We are hoping for a quick recovery and minimum discomfort for her.

Surgery around noon today. I am getting ready to go to the hospital now.

Surgery went well (short and sweet) and spouse is resting. She will hopefully be back home by Friday.

That's good news. Please relay our best wishes.
