Back from lunch. 105 left.

12:22 pm

Judi

Does anyone else have a husband who is a wimp about his own health issues?

12:27 pm

Judi

Hello? Hello? Is this thing on?

12:27 pm

Trifioso

I do judi - except for the husband part, but yes, man cold all day

12:28 pm

aebmusica

pe7....clue please

12:28 pm

Judi

Ah the man cold. That equates to the plague I'm sure.

12:29 pm

Trifioso

it does! currently mine has a sore toe situation going on - you would think things were falling off him, the way he has been carrying on

12:29 pm

Trifioso

i dont have it as yet, aeb

12:30 pm

Judi

Well, I have a husband who has sleep apnea. He was diagnosed with it about 4 years ago. ENT told him he needs to have his tonsils, adenoids and uvula removed. In the meantime, he snores like a warthog and stops breathing multiple times during the night. On top of that, he goes to bed very late.

12:31 pm

Judi

He has also become very forgetful - leaving doors, windows and cars unlocked. Leaving vehicle windows open in the middle of winter. Frequently forgets his wallet and/or cell phone.

12:32 pm

aebmusica

nvm

12:32 pm

aebmusica

nd it

12:33 pm

EvaNadine

Judi - my husband has a phobia of ALL THINGS medical.
we're talking...takes a bag of ice to the dentist just to get a cleaning because he freaks out.

12:34 pm

Judi

What's the ice for?

12:34 pm

Trifioso

that sounds consistent with interrupted sleep, judi.

12:35 pm

EvaNadine

to keep himself from overheating due to his freaking out

12:35 pm

Judi

That is pretty extreme, Eva. *snuffles laughter*

12:36 pm

EvaNadine

yeah. i mean, its funny until its not.
like how he couldnt sit through a single ultrasound/sonogram when i was pregnant + i had to have my nearly-80-year-old mother with me in the operating room for my c-section.

12:38 pm

Judi

ENT explained that his recovery would be a very sore throat (duh!) and that he would have to live on pudding and cold beverages for about 2 weeks.

12:38 pm

EvaNadine

or how he refused to go get stitches when he cracked his head open a few years ago...
or how he refuses to get ANY new vaccinations...
or how he refuses to get a physical or bloodwork done, despite having regular chest + stomach discomfort.
:/

12:38 pm

Trifioso

is he a christian scientist? If not, maybe he should look into it!

12:38 pm

Judi

Oh dear. Putting himself at risk for serious infection, Eva. Does he take anything for anxiety?

12:39 pm

EvaNadine

like last year, when we both caught the flu...he was LAID OUT for a solid week, unable to function.
meanwhile, i was halfway through it without even realizing i had a fever of 102. because....yknow, we women just have to keep functioning, yknow?

12:39 pm

EvaNadine

judi - that would mean having to ADMIT that theres a problem.
and going to a doctor to get the Rx!

12:41 pm

Judi

Have you tried getting him to a psychologist or psychiatrist, Eva? No hospitals or ooky procedures involved there. Just talking.

12:42 pm

mkg

very sad......he should take medication for his anxiety.

12:42 pm

EvaNadine

we actually did a little couples counseling before K was born, but we weren't able to stick with it long enough to get into anything serious.

12:42 pm

Judi

At least my guy gets regular check-ups - dental, medical, dermatologist.

12:43 pm

mkg

my hubby is a doctor and so he does go but he tells the doctor what to order for him, not vice versa. but better than nothing.........i guess.

12:43 pm

EvaNadine

he actually told me that if our state had required blood tests to get married, we may never have gotten married.
::glare::

12:44 pm

EvaNadine

and because i was "advanced maternal age" i got a whole slew of extra tests done + they wanted him to get tested to cross-check results.
luckily, they were able to order him a spit-test, or we wouldnt have been able to do it.

12:45 pm

mael

I am so lucky that all my genetic tests when I was pregnant came back negative because convincing my phobic husband to have a blood draw to cross check would have been hell

12:45 pm

mael

I hear ya, eva

12:46 pm

Judi

I have repeatedly told my hubby that he stops breathing. I am a heavy sleeper, so I'm not always awake to wake him up to remind him to breath.

12:47 pm

EvaNadine

yeah, i was a carrier for 3 things, but 2 of them were no biggie.
but one of them was serious + if was also a carrier, we would have had some tough decisions ahead of us...so he HAD to get tested, even if it meant me knocking him out to do it myself! lol

12:49 pm

mkg

sleep apnea....i would guess. does he snore a lot?

12:50 pm

mkg

eva, what if they put him out with a gas mask? no good?

12:52 pm

Judi

I've also told him that he needs to have this surgery while he still has good health insurance (and a wife who's willing to baby him for a few days after he has the surgery).

12:53 pm

EvaNadine

he wont let them knock him out - he doesnt like any scenario where he isnt fully in control of his faculties.
HE DOESNT EVEN LET THEM USE NOVOCAINE!!

12:56 pm

mael

hah, at least my husband is fully on board with being knocked out for any and all procedures

12:56 pm

Judi

About three years ago, hubby broke his back in a mountain bike accident. He had a spinal fusion and was in a full upper torso brace for 12 weeks. I told him if he could survive that, a little tonsilectomy would be a walk in the park.

12:57 pm

mael

it ought to be, judi

12:57 pm

mael

I need to fix my septum and I'm totally dragging my feet

12:58 pm

mael

so i understand not wanting to have surgery when you "feel fine" overall

12:58 pm

Judi

I hate to issue ultimatums, but I'm approaching that ledge. Like, I'm leaving until you get this surgery done. Because I don't want to wake up and find you dead.

12:59 pm

EvaNadine

ugh. sorry, Judi - i understand the frustration.

1:00 pm

mael

I would find that ultimatum 100% acceptable, sleep apnea it's a big deal!

1:00 pm

Judi

I feel for you too, Eva. Sounds like it's going to take some drastic event for your husband to finally see a doctor.

1:00 pm

mixi6

sleep studies are drugless. also some can now be done at home.

1:01 pm

Judi
