Good day friends....welcome to the weekend!!
Little foul up yesterday with hubby and stress test. As you know he fasted since the night before, had no breakfast, no coffe, no chocolate...he was a GOOOOOOOD boy! Then he left here at 10:30 for his elelven o'clock appt. I called the place in the early a.m. to make sure they wouldn't be using any dye injections, yadayadayda, and they said, "no, everything is fine" they even let me speak to the technician.
OK!! SOOOOOOOOOOoo, Bobby gets there, goes up to the window, announces who he is, and they promptly tell him he is a day early for his appointment. He stands there is shock, I'm sure he was much more angry that he showed himself to be. He said, "my wife called and confirmed this appointment three hours ago, I haven't eaten since yesterday, I'm nervous about this an would really appreciate it if I could get it over with!!" NOPE!! No way Jose!! Just go away and come back tomorrow.
Oh dear, when he came back in the house, I was just about to lay down, and it terrified me to see him looking all pale and anxious. He explained. I was furious. I could not believe they told me just prior to his arrival that he WAS schedued for yesterday and then he arrives and they sent him on his way.
Anyhoot, today he was supposed to go, but here's the thing. This was his second day with no coffee...he drinks five cups in the morning...no lie! So now he's got the caffeine withdrawal shakes and is practically in tears, holding his head, horrible headache, upset at the thought of this test. I told him "you're not going" pure and simple. He is in no shape to do this today. Number one...caffeine withdrawal has set in...he is better now, as I'm writting this, because I poured some coffee down his throat and fed him. Number two, he's acting as though the weight of the world is on his shoulders for the past couple of weeks and we have to get to the bottom of this. Something is troubling him and he's not verbalizing. I have to make sure it's not about me. You know how we always assume it's us, that's what women do, ASSUME!
I need to talk to him for a good long time and find out what's underneath his anxiety. He does so much for me and my familly, on a daily basis, and he has two daughters of his own who also need him. I think he needs a break!! Really. I will figure this out. WE will figure this out.
So we have re-scheduled him for next week for the stress test. We will talk to his doctor about his anxiety issues and pray it through.
I am being a good girl and doing my leg exercises. My daughter's fiancee is enjoying his new job! My daughter is enjoying good health right now and is happy in her relationship, my dad is physically well and looking forward to a visit with us in September....and the sun is shining.....so it's a good day, after all.
Enjoy your weekend my friends.....and thank you for all the love and support you sent out to JenCG yesterday at the loss of her beloved pet.
You guys are the greatest!!!

Oh darla, I am so glad you took the bull by the horn and made him reschedule his aointment. I swaer people don't know what here doing any more. It is scarey when we have to deal with medical people cause there are to many involed in one procedure. It is sad really. Feeding Bobby was the best thing to do. Like I said yesterday you know how to handle things and you do a great job. I am happy to hear good news about your daughter and her fiance. Nice to hear good news. I know God will give you and Bobby the wisdom to figure this whole mess out. Love you bunches. I will keep you and Bobby in my prayers. have a great happy weekend. "DON"T WORRY BE HAPPY" LOL frieda xxxoo

I worked all my life in the medical field and I would have seen him ! I'd teased him and we'd had a fun time so he would relax. The medical field is a people- service job...people make mistakes. I'm sure he appreciates you taking control..sounds like he was worn to a frazzle. Good job Darla. Hugs Marie

I so dislike when that happens..Had it happen sev times with them goofing on appts. could he just be worried about the test in general..It is stress test.Or maybe he is worried that something is wrong.I know Bill goes through spells like this when he is doing c word checks every 3 mnts.He gets wierd.down and miserable for a couple weeks before it starts and major anxiety in fear of the cword
..I hope it works out and u get to the bottom..Dang Drs...You were so right on with pouring in the caffeine.That is a horrible withdrawl..not to mmention the caffeine headache. u made the right call.
I am very thrilled all else is well..prayers work thats fer shur.. Enjoy ur beautiful happy day...
God bless u Darla.. luv tracy

Yes.......I think you did the right thing, recheduling.
My hub's takes a mood pill every day.
Only now & then he has to take a Xanax as he gets very overwhelmed too.It has helped him TREMENDOUSLY!
I bet a break IS what is needed.
Sounds like my hub's.
We are TRULY blessed to have such wonderful husbands!!!!!!!
You also take care of you!
Have a grand weekend and try to rest.
Hugs and love XXXXXOOOOO

What a mix up!! It's hard to understand how at the same hospital in the same department that much confusion is possible. Lets just pray that they do the right test on the right person!!!
Take care & have a fun day!

Check with your pharmacist about side effects from BP meds... They are NOTORIOUS.

I admire your level headedness even though you must have been angry and scared. When I read your journal I thought this "D knows that God is in the driver's seat and I'm a passenger, but I can help to navigate" Hugs for the weekend, Taters

oh poor bobby. I think you did well to cancel. I do hope you get to the bottom of it. I think that the men think that they should cope with life and when they find things getting on top of them its not so easy for them to admit it is it?? I really really hope he will be ok. I think a big hug for bobby is needed xxxx

What a mess, but you seem to making good choices to make it through. That is so weird that they did confirm the date with you on the phone that morning. I hope you figure out together what is making hubby so anxious. Hang in there. You have a higher power working for you.

I meant to say "so weird they did NOT confirm the date with you on the phone that morning". My CFS brain leaves off the "not" many times when I type.

Oh poor Bobby all that for nothing! it was wise to cancel Hon'I am sure it is nothing to do with you but hope you can have a good chat with him. love ya You are both in my prayers

So sorry you guys went through that! Seems like so many things get muffed up nowadays. I hope you get a chance to talk and get past it and find peace.

That was enough to make the poor man shake without missing the coffee, oh poor Bobby. Glad you took charge.... that was so unfair! Couldn't fast another day, and miss all that coffee, he would probably been unable to drive. Hope you can find out what is troubling the such a special man. It is hard to get these guys to verbalize what it is worrying them, I know. love, jazzy xoxox

Oh what a terrible mix up for Bobby, so frustrating! If people would just communicate..........yadda yadda!! Glad you rescheduled for next week and got some caffiene into him, poor dear! I'll pray that he's able to verbalize what's going on with him to you, and that all will be well! It's so hard for our men isn't it?? And YES, us women always assume it's us........*sigh*
So glad that all is well with daughter, daughter's fiance, Dad etc!! All wonderful news and happy stuff!
Have a wonderful weekend, hope the weather gets' better for you over there!!
Love and hugs to the moon and back, xoxoxoxoxox

I can't believe any of this. What a mess! Ay yi yi. You'll figure this out. I know you will. *HUGS*

What a mix up Darla. Poor Bobby and you. Any test is stressful and a stress test- well say no more. Good for you for postponing it until later.
sending loads of love and hugs your way to you and Bobby,
love you,

Well, I am so sorry that all of this added stress has been put on Bobby! The last time I went the messed up mine and only ran one of the three tests the Dr had ordered...so I have to do the fasting again, use up a bunch of gas to get there, etc. Hope Bobby is feeling better after the caffeine!

So sorry to hear about this mess of a mix-up! Enough to make any person haave alot of "stress"!! Hugs to you for taking control and cancelling. Hugs to Bobby for marrying such a fine woman. Prayers to him and hoping everything gets straightened out soon. So glad to hear that things are going well for the family otherwise. God is certainly in control for you and yours!!! Hallelujah!!! Lots of love, Kim xxoo
