Honorably discharged
He’s home! He’s not better, he’s 10 pounds lighter, and their best guess is “something viral,” but he’s home!
He went in on Tuesday morning to the E.R., only to be told — after four hours — that it would be at least four more before they could see him. Wednesday’s trip to the E.R. yielded a quicker response, but he was in such bad shape they admitted him to the hospital late that night. They did test after test, cat scans, x-rays, cultures — nothing could explain his fever of almost 104 degrees plus the myriad other symptoms that doubled him over and left him delirious and in pain.
Of course, anxiety-ridden gal that I am, I figured it must be a kidney infection, maybe a little SARS, possibly Avian Flu. Whatever it is, it baffled medical science.
It’s heartbreaking, too. Iain is a man who never so much needs a tablet of aspirin, so to be trapped in the hospital with no answers was frightening to a severe degree, for both of us.
But he’s home now, recuperating on the sofa. Our family unit is one again intact. My heart has ceased racing. The crisis has passed.
Thank you for the positive energy, gang; dare I say it worked?

thank GOD (or whomever else you choose to believe in in cases like this)! i was so worried for you guys. whew.
and isn’t “something viral” such an easy way out for doctors? i’m not dissing them, necessarily, it just seems that in the 21st century there should be a way to test and pinpoint these mysterious viruses! and i have no medical knowledge whatsoever, so i’m completely talking out of my ass. heh.
so glad the family is back together!
hoooray, he’s home!!!!!
I don’t even *know* you people and I am so relieved that your beloved is home safe and sound…or, at least, safe and recuperating.
Glad to hear it.
*sigh of relief*
MB I’m glad that Iain’s ok.
YAY…so glad he’s home and on the mend.
And, since you asked: yes, you dare say it. Go ‘head, girl. I’m a big believer in thoughts and prayers!
Great news. Send him continued regards and best wishes.
Ummm…I wasn’t gonna admit it, but I prayed anyway. Nyah, nyah.
So good to have THE MAN where he belongs, isn’t it? I just don’t feel right when mine is gone.
Thank goodness, I woke up this morning, well just now, and the first thought was “must check Supa’s site, need to know if her husband is OK!” I’m very relieved, sorry you had to go through that. Very scary indeed.
well, holy crap. fine time for me to neglect to stop by to see what is going on in the mb. glad he is home and all that. do you need diapers… for the husband? I know how filthy those identifiable virusus can be.
This is good news. I’m glad he’s back home.
what ER was it because damn if i am going to wait 8 hours for something?
oops and, i’m glad he’s not on death’s door !
Glad to hear the good news. Take good care of him as I am sure you will.
thank you, guys.
i just finished lining up my saint satues and setting out my prayer beads. So, I might as well continue with the chanting and candle lighting until he get’s completly well.
So glad he’s home, MB.
YES! so glad he is home! and that it is “something viral” and not a touch of the avian flu.
Holy crap I lost internet for one week and this happens?? Glad he’s ok! Viral shit sucks.
getting here late but SO thinking about you this weekend - glad he’s home safe and sound!
