So....I walk out of the bedroom this morning and Todd is there in his winter coat, ready to go to the walk-in clinic.
Todd NEVER calls in sick. He NEVER complains of pain.
The walk-in doc thinks it's his appendix, and sends him to a surgeon.
The surgeon is "unimpressed" with Todd's pain. He doesn't know about Mr. Stoic. If only I were there to let Mr. Doctor know that if Todd is complaining at all, beware. But I am home with the kids, talking to Todd via cell phone.
My friend Kirby will duck out of work and come over to take care of the kids if need be, but for the moment, we wait. I'm in the kitchen, preparing things for the kids to eat should I need to go. The kitchen work is soothing me and that in itself is weird. I've come a long way, baby!
So Todd drove himself from the surgeon's over to the hospital for blood work. If it shows an infection, they'll do a scan, and probably take out the ole appendix later today.
The hospital is two seconds away. We could walk there faster than we could find a parking spot. Still...it's driving me nuts not to be there, sitting with him in the waiting room.
He doesn't want me to bring the kids and I know he's right.
He's going to be in big trouble later for not waking me up since this pain evidently started last night.

oh no!
best to you guys - may the doctors be wise (I want to add: for once ... but i'm trying to be kinder and gentler ... ahem)
I'm keeping my fingers crossed, Michelle! I can sympathize with your desire to sit with him at the doctor's office. Stay the course and take care of yourself and the kids. If he's anything like my husband, post-surgical nursing will take its toll on your energy ;-).
oooh, i am sure everything will be fine. i'll send my positive vibes to virginia just in case.
xoxo
Oh my goodness, ugh-a-roo! I'll be thinking about you two today and hope that the surgery goes well presuming it goes forwrad. Give Hot Toddy my love.
Oh Michelle- Best of luck to Todd! Saying prayers for Hot Toddy and less pain and a quick recovery.
Coming out of lurkdom to say that I hope you get an answer soon. Prayers for you all.
Oh wow - keep us posted! Prayers for you guys, coming up!
My husband is the same way and it drives me crazy sometimes. Positive thoughts going your way.
So? What's the news on Hot Toddy and his hot and bothered appendix? I call total bullshit on Hot Toddy feeling anything less than fab!
