34 years ago yesterday, I met and had my first date with my husband. I did not expect to spend this anniversary day in the hospital all day.
It started with him walking up in pain yesterday morning. He has been having this problem for months and it is just getting worse and worse On tuesday, he had an MRCP and no gall stones could be found.
He was all set to have a EGD procedure on March 18th, but that is a month away.
So, I took him to the emergency room first thing. They gave him some medication, a shot, pill, etc. to ease the pain. Of course, all other kind of tests too.Finally after 3 hours, the doctor wanted to send him home, but I said, no, the pain will just come back when he gets home. He still was not feeling very much better.
She called his family doctor and then they admitted him to the hospital. The specialist that he had been seeing for this problem called at 2 pm and said they would proform an ERCP at about 4:30 yesterday. (this procedure is where they put a tube down your throat to look at everything!)
They found the gallstone! Even tho the MRI did not show anything! He is home today and feeling so much better!! I don't know how much money we spent yesterday (no insurance) but it was worth it.!!
Now he can eat again!
Back from the hospital

I am in much the same position. Woke to an email from brother that 92 y/o Dad was an emergency admission about 11 pm last night after he & ER nurse insisted on an xray of the spine - had a fall,has a L4 spinal compression fracture and his congestive heart failure is acting up. Dr says 3 days but I am betting on 5.
I had a crazy week before this w/a friend getting married on 2/27. this is going to make it VERY complicated as I have to go every day to at the least make sure all his meals are ordered.
