UPDATE Nurses... Diagnose my DH
Carrie3102

So we're still in the ER. DH has a temp of 105. They've done a cat scan blood cultures and started an iv of pain meds and fluids. Now we wait.
Ok, I know not cool, but he's arguing with me about going to the dr. I say he needs to go.
Yesterday am he had serious back pain, he thought his back was going out, I distinctly asked him if it was his kidney. He said no, went to work. Came home and said, maybe it is my kidney, my pee is real dark (coppery color). He's been having hot flashes and cold sweats, continued pain in his back, and is now peeing blood clots. so awesome... right? I say we need to see the dr. He says no...
I think it could be stones or something more serious...your thoughts?

Thank you ladies, I will tell him. He said he's willing to discuss going to the ER but he's not taking time off work to do it... must wait until 3:30 when he's off.
Why are men so ... meh... about their health when something serious is going on, but give them a stuffy nose and FFS they can't function?
My dad had the flu my first year of college and wouldn't go to the dr, it came on out of no where, then all the sudden he couldn't shit, like could not felt horrible told my mom he was dying but still refused the dr. She told him to go die on the couch because he's too heavy or her to drag down the steps (because of repeated years of the man cold and his refusal to go to the dr) Then my grandpa made him go...
Sent him straight to the hospital, they thought he was dying of stomach cancer. Operated... found out his apendix burst on Sunday night and this was fucking Thursday. Gang green (sp?) and a week in the hospital... he was 2 hours from being dead, like seriously, the surgeon told him that.
Men are stupid. The end.
@valstulas can he wait until 3:30? or do I need to make him leave work now? (I'm 30 minutes from him and I told him he's not driving.)
Yeah the man needs to see a doctor!
I know what you're going through though. My H refuses to go to the doctor. He could have a cut so deep that bone is exposed and he will still try to "walk it off".

Of course not he is saying if he drops at work he doesn't have to use time off, and their insurance covers it... why oh why is he such an asshat!
@Valstulas... thanks.
I hope that you can get him to go sooner than later & that they can clear up the problem easily.
@KittenD... I know right? I think he means for test results though... and generally they are pretty good about that piece...but as far as sitting around... we'll be there all night.
I'm sorry he's putting you through this
@Rmnam1 Thanks... he's said he'll go afterwork. we'll hopefully get some meds to deal with it if it's an infection, and maybe something to help break up the stones if that's what it is.
I just hope it's not mega serious.

Thanks ladies! I will update.
@Sarars128... I said this to him too, he really does drink a lot usually, but since this started, he's not been able to because it hurts and makes him want to puke.

I don't know how he functioned like this. But we've been told multiple times that he has crazy high pain tolerance.
He woke up about 2am to pee he was shaking uncontrollably and felt very ill send weak he thinks he passed it then but he's not feeling stellar by any means.
I wish they would have prescribed antibiotics at the time rather than wait... better safe than sorry in my opinion.
Thanks for thinking of us. It's sure to be a long weekend.. especially since MIL had already planned to come and still is... yay me ! Poor DH.
I just don't want to end up in the er again and him be even sicker than he is.
Thanks ladies
