Hope all is well Op

Didn't know that, Cherry.

Telford would be too far for us to go in any event but useful info for people who are up that way.

TheWitTank · 31/12/2016 13:46

Fingers crossed all is well OP and he is on the mend! Flowers

WetNovemberDay · 31/12/2016 13:48

Yikes. That's some urine colour!
Hope he's ok.

Glad to see you've sought some medical advice. Fwiw I think I'd have headed to my A&E with urine that colour.

expatinscotland · 31/12/2016 13:48

Hope he's alright.

BoboBunnyH0p · 31/12/2016 13:48

Hope all is well op

Hope your dh is ok op and you obviously did the right thing as they've triaged you and you were moved to the front of the queue.

Benedikte2 · 31/12/2016 13:52

Hope DH has good treatment. At least it's being taken seriously .
For posters saying OP and others shouldn't post here about medical matters please consider the current situation where people are hesitant about approaching A&E lest their problem be declared trivial and staff denigrate them. Mumsnet can give posters the confidence that a trip to A&E is warranted and not unreasonable.
One OP posted recently that Mumnet posters saved her life.

MamaBear98 · 31/12/2016 13:55

That's definitely not normal! Shock I hope he gets sorted asap Flowers

Kenworthington · 31/12/2016 14:14

Been thinking about your dh hope he's ok

MountainPeaks · 31/12/2016 14:18

Bened Yes - and the poster who was unsure if she should take her baby in - mumsnetters said yes and it turned out the baby had sepsis.

CherrySkull · 31/12/2016 14:22

In case anyone is wondering.

UTI's are common in women, and are usually cystitis, however blood in the urine should ALWAYS be checked.

UTI's for men are a lot rarer and usually a lot more serious and should be checked out ASAP.. again, ANY sign of blood in urine needs checking straight away.

Hope all is ok? X

Mine looked like that when I had severe pre eclampsia- obviously he's not got that!

Flibbertyjibbit · 31/12/2016 14:37

Glad your DH has been triaged quickly. Hope all is ok.

Here's where to find your nearest walk-in centre, if like me you move to an unfamiliar part of the country:

IhatchedaSnorlax · 31/12/2016 14:56

TheThingsWeAdmitOnMN · 31/12/2016 15:07

I imagine it's packed there today :(

ParrotPudding · 31/12/2016 15:11

Hope your DH is ok OP. You did the right thing.

TurnipCake · 31/12/2016 15:19

Eeep, years since I have done general medicine, but last time I saw pee like that, the patient had rhabdomyolysis.

You did the right thing, OP, hope your fella is ok
