What an awful homecoming, Merry. Sending positive thoughts your way, and please update us when things settle down a bit.

Merry, so sorry your DH is in the ER and that on top of everything, you also have to deal with the internal "Don't Want To But I Should" debate re: letting the toxic skidults know. 

Love your passcode idea. My vote is for Toxic-Selfish-Rude-Hypocrite-Checking-In-MAYBE

I had to have a password for my mother when she had heart surgery.  I made it memorable and the nurses asked for just hear me say it.  Made their day.  So I say have some fun with that password.   I might be slow on the info train though. They really haven't earned it from what you write.   Hang in there. 

How awful! Im sorry your trip ended so horribly. Make the password

Damn. Sending good thoughts your way!

How scary! I hope you get some answers soon and that your DH recovers quickly. I understand the position you're in. Hopefully, there will be no need for skid communication. But, yes, have fun with these password ideas! 

Wow, how awful. I'm thankful you arrived when you did and hoping it's nothing major. I'm sorry you have to deal with the dilemma of whether to notify the SKs. How about this for a password: Not!me4BS! 

but glad you got there when u did.  Thinking of you both. Many good ideas for that passcode!

How scary.

I am so sorry to learn this Merry. Sending you love and hugs.

Scary! How fortunate you got home when you did. Hope you get answers quickly and that your DH fully recovers.

started his six month downward spiral I broke the long (ten year) silence and told his three adult kids he was hospitalized and gave them the number to reach him. Silly me. I actually thought they would call him. I think most people would be alarmed at hearing someone was hospitalized for acute renal failure, but not them. It took six months and hearing the word "hospice" for them to reach out. 16 days later he was dead.

I wish I could report I'm passed it but I still hate them for their cruelty toward their father. 
 

I hope the doctors quickly find the source of your husband's condition and how to treat him. 

Speedy recovery.  Getting better is more important then why it happen.  Things happen if we are home or away.   You can think of getting him a smart watch with fall notifications. 

Sending Healing Prayers in Your Direction,,,Hugs

Best wishes to your Dh and yourself. Speedy healing and gentle flowing goodness your way.

I hope things are better today - I just logged on after the weekend. How are you two doing?

Im trying to get to the point where I would message the skids. Powersulk definitely, but not feral forger, not at this point.

Oh no, so sorry to hear this. Hope you are coping ok and that your DH is stable at this point.  Eff those skids.

I'm so sorry that your get away was capped with coming home to unconscious DH on the floor.

I have a condition, one of many, that I have had since I was a mid single digit aged kid.  Proctalgia Fugax.  I have no idea how to pronounce the second word in the name. Anyway, it was missDx'd when I was in my early 20s as Giardia. An intestinal parasite usually acquired in 3rd world countries. I grew up on one.  It is self limiting as flare ups occur, are attacked by the immune system, then the gap between flare ups increases until usually at some point it is no longer an issue.  The treatment was to basically poison me until the parasite died or I did. Nope. Not something I was interested in experiencing.

When I was in my late 30s I had a "flare up" that caused me to pass out.  I had several of those events over the years starting when I was about 6yo.  It starts with insanely painful rectal spasms (deep nauseatingly painful, not sharp intense pain).  If they progress far enough I end up unconscious. When I wake up I can be violently ill (projectile vomiting, etc).  It sucks beyond measure.

The last major flare up sent me to the ER in an ambulance. I was in A-fib in the ambulance and in the ER, the young ER doc was hell bent on a pace maker immediatly. I ended up taking the phone from them and speaking to the Cardiologist and explained the symptoms leading up to the passing out event. While on the phone I dropped otu of A-Fib. The Cardiologist told the ER doc to release me and for me to follow up with my GP. 

My GP, who had worked for Docs Without Borders determined that it was not Giardia but Proctalgia Fugax.  Not uncommon in young men and boys apparently.  Basically, the rectal spasms, if unchecked, over stimulate the Vegus nerve causing A-Fib and can cause the sufferer to pass out and induce the projectile vomiting.  

My GP, to whom I owe an eternal debt of gratitude, says to me "You can either take a pill every day for the rest of your life, or.... we can use another med and you put it under your tongue when you feel a spasm and that should stop it from progressing. An anti-spasmotic/involuntary muscle relaxer.

So, some years I take zero pills, others I take a half a dozen or so. Or, somewhere in between.

I hope that DH's issue is something relatively simple and treatable.  Any number of things can case someone to pass out.

Don't sweat the Skids, they have earned their notify after the fact status.

Take care of you.
