Allrighty...so, SO has ended up in the hospital. He emailed me last night from his bar remote saying his stomach was bothering him the worst it ever has. Ever since I've known him, he's had a bad stomach...so does his mother, and sister/brother. They're all on Prilosec, Nexium, whatever - al with real bad stomachs.
Last fall, he actually saw a GI Specialist and once he went for the initial appointment and was told he needed a colonoscopy to further find out what was wrong, he never went back.
Last night he called around 1:15 AM after he left the remote and said he was driving himself to the ER and he had already called his work for someone to cover him. I texted him this morning, as I didn't know what was up. He called back a little while later saying he was still there; they had given him some painkillers, done a CAT scan; and it looked he would be there until at least tomorrow. He was really out of it, saying he didn't really know anything else and spent most of the time sleeping.
I asked him to keep me informed and if he needed me to be there, I'd have his mother come sit with the girls. He said he didn't know what was going on yet...just that were getting ready to put him in a room. I told him the offer was there, I was worried about him, and keep me posted when he could.
Sorry to say this...can we all say STRESS! Among other things. Maybe this forced facing of his health issues will do him some good. Even though I know it's not MY problem, I am worried about his work...he does have a wedding tomorrow. Don't know how that's going to get handled. His on air job will be covered, obviously, as will his bar remotes tonight & tomorrow night, so that's not a problem.
I don't know....I'm worried and I want to be there with him. If they're actually admitting him, then it seems more serious than he's aware. Don't know what to do. Whether I should call his mom and have her come here...she is almost 2 hours away, plus the hospital is over an hour drive away from our house....so it would be at least 3 hours before I could get there. I don't want to force myself on him, but I can't tell if he really doesn't want me there, or if he's just aware of the circumstances/time/kids, etc.
