Margaret, years ago i had kidney stones,and the pain was the worst there is nothing like it, i told a lot of people to go away,i did not mean it, it was because of the pain.Take care,Love Helenxx

Will be thinking of you Margaret. Sometimes if the main phone is engaged the call 'trips' to one in an office and those on the ward can't hear it. Or it could be that the doctor is doing his rounds and the staff are rushing about like loonies getting everything/everyone ready. Try and be patient and just keep trying. I have had exactly the same trouble getting through when mum has been in hospital. At the moment, I probably couldn't even get the switchboard as we have a 'celeb' in our intensive care and I expect the lines are completely clogged. I am sure the others are right and your hubby is just overwhelmed with the pain. Please keep us posted as we will be worrying. Maz. XX

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

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

Huge hug sweetie.... I do hope he's ok! Pink xx

Hi Margaret Have e-mailed you Val xxx

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

so sorry to hear ur news margaret xxx

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

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

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

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
