Poor Health

Okay, sorry I have not updated about our wonderful time in Germany, things are just not going that wonderful the past 3 weeks. Before this though we did take a fun trip to Potterstein and I went to Bamberg. I maybe later will post some pictures of those time but right now I fell like talking about our past 2-3 weeks.


Jeremy

I will start with him well 2 times before I came to Germany he was put in the hospital because he was having abdomen pains at work and they got so bad that he passed out. Both times in the hospital they were never able to figure out a cause for the pain and said he just passed out due to the pain. Well, September 16 he was in pain at work but it was manageable then on the 17 he was off work due to us getting our Household stuff. That morning he was not feeling good but they came early and had our bed set up by noon. So Jeremy went and laid down and me and the neighbor worked on the house and started unpacking. At 4pm he thought he felt better and was going to go down the street and get us some German pillows. But, he only maid it to the couch because he was in so much pain after getting up. Well about 730pm he got up again to get something to drink and I was on the computer in the living room. All I heard was him hitting the floor and I could see his legs on the ground. I went and tried everything to wake him and I could tell he was breathing so I did not panic to bad. But, after about 10 minutes of me not being able to wake him I called my neighbors over to see what I should do. (Plus I did not know the number to 911) After he saw him and could not get him to wake up he decide to call it in and said that he needs to at least be looked after. Well, the paramedic came and said he needed to go to the hospital so they took us to the hospital. well, that night in the ER they gave him pain medicine though an IV and decide to keep him over night and would decide Tuesday morning what they were going to do. Well, Jeremy ended up staying till Saturday they ran every time of blood test, 24hr Urine, blood pressure and EKG, and nothing. The DR said he tested for Gallstones, kidney stones, Appendix and also rare diseases and could not find anything.

Well, he was off from work Sunday but Monday went back to work. He was doing okay but still we hurting and not feeling well. So then Wednesday he went to sick call to see a DR because his CO wants him to go to Landstuhl which is an Army hospital 4 hours away. Well that morning on the way he passed out on the bus on the way to the DR and he said he remembers sitting there then the next thing he knew 4 soldiers looking over him. So they help him get to the clinic. Well, he saw the DR and she really did not say anything just put a refer in and put him on light duty and he can't drive a car, ride a bike or do anything like that. So now we are just waiting on the refer. Thursday morning while getting ready for work he passed out and then he did it today at church. Just sitting there at church listening next thing he knew he was on the ground with 4 people looking at him.

So I hope we can get an appointment at Landstuhl soon and they are able to figure this all out. It is really stressing me out cause I hate for him to walk to the store or anything cause we never know when he will pass out. His unit has been mentioning chaptering him out for this or giving him a medically discharge. At first he was really upset about either one but now if it happens then let it be, we will figure out what to do then right now we just have to figure out what is going on. So wish that we found out the problem.

ME
Okay I was not going to do this on the internet but I just want to type it so here it is:
Okay I am goign to keep my issue simple I dont want to dwell on it. ANd MALE READERS you might not want to read it but I am going to keep it simply.

Okay so everyone knows I can't have kids and I have a lot of female issues but the past 3 weeks have been a new adventures. For the past 3 weeks I have been bleeding and cramping the worst I have every had in my life. I never had bad periods but this is crazy. I am tired of hurting and the cost of 3 boxes of pads a week. I am just so tired of it. So I went in to talk with a nurse last Friday (the 23rd) because I could not get an appointment with a DR until Oct 11th. Well, the nurse panic and told me to go to the ER (keep in mind this day I did this Jeremy was still in the hospital) which I told her I could not go to the ER today. Well she went and explain my history to a DR who had the NERVE to come in there and tell me I was having a miscarriage. The DR told me that there was not reason to go to the ER unless it gets worst just to take some BC and take ibuprofen for pain. So now it has been another week and still the same problems I just keep taking the BC and ibuprofen for the pain each day and it helps the pain but every morning and night I start cramping again.

So between what is going on between my husband and me we have not had time to think. We just look at each other laugh cause we lay in pain and wish we were home. Sorry Germany is so not winning us over!! And if I am having a miscarriage I did not know and I don't even want to think about it, I keep telling myself it is probably something else cause I don't want to dwell on it.

So anyways sorry i wrote a book but I feel like we been ran over and ran over and I am just so ready to go home. Don't feel sorry for us we are holding it together both of us keep stressing over the other one but together we know we will figure out both of our problems (just hoping sooner then later) I promise my next post will be more CHEERFUL!!!!
