I think I am snake bit. As if we did not have enough issues going on. A few days ago H said that his back was hurting like it did when he had a ruptured disk. (that happed in 1990 and he had surgery to correct in '92. He has done well since then as far as the back goes) He said his heel was hurting - that is not a good sign. That is the sciatic (did I spell that right?!!!) nerve that runs from the hip to the heel. He said it started hurting a few days after his 27 hole golf game.
He called me today on my cell phone and ask me to bring ibuprofen home. He never takes that stuff as it upset the Crohns. When I got home he was walking round and round in our pool trying to alleviate the discomfort. I asked if it was helping and he said some.
He had taken some ibuprofen at work. He said from experience that the pain from back/nerve was even worse than Crohns so he took the meds.
I want to cry for him and for me. It seems like when I think I can maybe make progress something else happens. We are hoping this is just an aggrevation of the tissue and not a serious problem.
About 8:45 PM I said I was tired and that we should go to bed - I told him I'd rub his back and he could rub mine. Who would have guessed - he declined. No he was not tired he said yet about one hour later he went to bed. Idiot that I am - I am still up at midnight.
Does anyone else on this board have a similar situation where one of the partners is ill/injured? I end up feeling selfish for wanting a normal relationship with him again. I do not like a helpless feeling or a guilty feeling for that matter.
I am going to the C in one week. I wish it was tomorrow.
