I got me so down, I got me a headache.
A headache is not the worst thing in the world. Some days are much worse than today, but the headache I have right now is very painful. Maybe Rita's "The highlight of your day" thread
is more uplifting than this thread. Let's see where this goes, if
anywhere.

inflating the balloon before it was all the way in was my other option. i can't even imagine how painful that must be.

i've got all of you beat: some fat old cow farted twice while i was inserting her urinary catheter. i briefly considered strangling her. well, not that briefly. ok i thought about it for a really long time.
KSR has the pronunciation right, in case anyone cares.

Well, if you have another homecoming and want to try and seek another soulmate with a lead mark in the palm of their hand you can keep my name on the shortlist. I think this scar will be with me for a while! Although I am sure that our encounter will lead to nothing as well.

I have a black mark in the middle of my hand from 7th grade when someone bumped into me and I ended up with a pencil impaled in my palm. My homecoming date in 12th grade had almost the same exact mark, but yet it wasn't a sign.

I am about to leave the office and I sharpened a few pencils for the workshop tomorrow. I then proceed to jam a freshly sharpened pencil into the palm of my hand (by complete accident of course!). I think I tickled the nerve. Not the greatest feeling. Will I have a lead mark like the one my brother gave me on my thigh? That happened when I was a wee tot!

You should see how handsomely she pays me, Homers. But
the diva fits! The hysterical demands for better and more
exposure! The woman is good at what she does, but the
naked ego! It's a hard job, but I love it. She's a joy to work
for ... most of the time. And she's going places. Remember
her name. Da-ya-na-ra. Paypal me $50 (US ... NOT Canadian...and
none of that funny Mickey Mouse Euro money) and I'll send you
an autographed photo.

Carolynanna, I'm so sorry to hear your husband isn't feeling well! Did the doctor say specifically that it was an ulcer? The word "rip" makes me think of hernias, and I didn't know they operated on ulcers anymore unless they were bleeding excessively. Antibiotics and precautionary measures are usually enough to help the stomach heal on its own. The prescription was probably for something like protonics, we give those to just about everyone on PO medication to protect their stomach lining. Hopefully they also gave you a modified diet plan. Does the pain lessen after he's eaten a large meal?
RE: aspirin. If he takes aspirin daily for his heart he doesn't have to stop. I would switch over to something called enteric coated aspirin. The pills are coated with a special substance that will only dissolve once it passes through the stomach and reaches the intestines. The dosage is slightly lower, I think, but it won't irritate his stomach at all.
You'll probably know all you need to know after the endoscopy next week. Until then, I'd stick to a semi-bland diet, no soda, no alcohol, no chewing broken glass. Good luck, and feel free to email me if you want to.

methinks sometimes that excessive medical knowledge has the opposite effect on the general public...can sometimes induce mild hypochondria.
Take him off that shrapnel diet, carol.
seriously, good luck.
He'll probably be fine with diet changes and some meds.
You might also want to advise him to "chill the hell out and lay off the habaneros." |

Caroly, best wishes again to you and your hubby. Did they suggest any temporary dietary changes or anything? Does he need to sleep on his side? I agree that the term "rip" is disconcerting, but you'd hope they would want to cover all the bases (including their own asses) is it were something very serious. Is Canada as prone to medical malpractice issues as we are? But yeah, asking specific questions certainly doesn't hurt. I hope you can get a lot of good info out of 'em when you do.
What gets me is all the info available on various medical sites, but it's only just enough to get you concerned yet still unsure.

Hmmm I knew some of that but not the aspirin part,
and he does take his fair share of aspirin.
Also though they told him its a bit different than an ulcer,
how does someone get a rip I wonder,
could it be an ulcer that initially caused it?
Isn't daisy a nurse or something?
PS. You guys are fantastic, much appreciated.

best of luck, love, thoughts and prayers from me to you and your family carolynanna - my dad had a series of bleeding ulcers, one of which caused him to pass out after climbing a set of stairs (lukcily he had made it off the stairs and i was there to call 911) so i know that it can be a painful, frustrating and scary process. i'm sure things will work out fine, but until then, positive vibes are flowing westward!

A stomach ulcer is a sore or hole inside your stomach. It happens when the lining of your stomach gets damaged.
Your stomach normally contains acid, which helps break down food. If the lining of your stomach is damaged, this acid can seep through the lining and damage the cells underneath.
About 8 out of 10 stomach ulcers are caused by H. pylori.1. These bacteria live in your stomach and may damage the lining of your stomach.
Stomach ulcers can also be caused by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs for short), such as aspirin. These drugs can also damage the lining of your stomach. NSAIDs are commonly used to treat aches and pains, including some serious conditions, such as arthritis.
usually medication, either antibiotics to treat the bacteria or ulcer healing drugs if this is caused by the NSAIDS will reduce the ulcer and be sufficient treatment. Surgery is generally only used if the drugs don't work and I think it's nearly always endoscopic so not at all invasive.
I pulled most of this from NHS online (the uk national health service website) and my limited knowledge of ulcers from work. I'm sure everything will be just fine as ulcers are really quite common and there are lots of good effective treatments for them.
Best wishes to you and your hubby and a speedy, speedy recovery!

They never told him what its from though.
And that's when I got kids off to school,
I'll ask when he has to go back next week.
Next week he has to have a camera put down his throat to check out the rip some more before deciding what to do, ie stitches.
Its weird because they haven't fixed anything and they sent us home with a prescription to lower acid and one to stop muscle spasms.
But when someone says you're leaking stomach acid into your gut, you think that they'll do something right away.

He's gonna make it.
He's got a rip in his stomach, ulcer type of thing.
But big enough to warrant a stitch or two and big enough so that it was leaking stomach acid into his gut which caused all these muscle spasms and of course, immense pain.
