I had to rush my husband to hopital last night was there all night with him ,after xrays and loads of other things its looks like one of his kidneys have packed up or kidney stones , they have transfered him to another hospital and he doesnt want me there with him and i feel so lost. I have at last found out what is going on he has kidney stones pain is under control but he will be staying in hospital as his diabetes is sky high , i cant go and see him today as i have had no sleep i dont want to end up in there my self. Will keep you posted thank you for all your kind advice and support Margaret

Oh Margaret how terrible for you...is the hospital near to you? You must be so worried...I don't know how to advise you..not knowing you or your husband but I can only say I would want to be near him at least. Can you go to the other hospital and talk to the doctors....I'm sure he is saying this only because he worried himself. Speak to the doctors. I am sorry I am not much help to you but I shall be thinking of you... Take care Jacquie x

The hospital is about 20 miles away he told me not to ring he would get in touch when he knew what was happening i think he could see what it was doing to me and i dont think he was coping to well with the pain and me, Margaret

Margaret do as Linda suggested, ring the hospital and go from there. Jacquie

Same as the others ring the hospital and ask to speak to either dr or senior nurse and seek their advice but at the end of the day - go with your gut. Ann

Sorry yo hear about your husband. Phone the hospital and ask to speak to the Doctor who is looking after him. He should be able to explain what the problem is and put your mind at ease. Positive thoughts your way.........> Deb

so sorry to hear ur news margaret xxx

Morning Margaret If your hubby has a kidney Stone The pain is horrific and you say things you dont mean because of the pain, He will be so sorry when he is feeling better . Hope everything is ok Linda

I'm sure the others are right Margaret. Let us know how you get on:)

Margaret I hope everthing turns out all right :-) Helenxx

When I was in a lot of pain prior to an op a few years ago I did not want husband or son near me. I didn't want them to see how much pain I was in. It was hard enough dealing with the pain without seeing the effect it was having on them. I hope he is out of pain soon. Gwynne

Morning Margaret, sending good wishes to your hubby, take good care both of you :)

Oh Margaret, So sorry to hear this - sending you ((((HUGS)))) and positive thoughts. Anne

oh Margaret, i know exactly how you feel. Many will know i have been through the same thing as you a few weeks ago with my hubby. Luckily for us all turned out fine. after two operations and also a kidney stone the size of mount Vesuvious (spelling) Hubby is now back at work and both Kidneys are ok. Its a daunting time for both of you, but for your husband the pain is indescribable and he is probably not thinking lucidly... please remember, this is no reflection on your relationship... its just a bit like when a woman is in labour... the docs liken kidney stones to this painwise... we women turn into irrational monsters whilst in childbirth! lol. Bear with it Margaret, we all are thinking of you and Husband, and i am sure he will be alright very soon. my very best wishes to you both, Em xx

(((hug))) I think the others have said it all. Just sending best wishes for your hubby's speedy recovery. Claire xx

Hi Margaret, I'm so sorry to hear about Ken's problem. You probably know this already, as you worked in a hospital but hospitals have someone to talk to patient's relatives and help them. I will speak to you later. Take care June xx

I have just phoned the hospital got put through but nobody is answering the phone i understand that its a busy place but someone must have heard it Margaret

Sorry to hear your news, Margaret, will e-mail you. Lily
