Dh is 44 and mostly healthy apart from type 2 diabetes and bmi in the overweight category. He doesn't smoke or drink. He went for his normal diabetes check up on Thursday and they took the usual bloods, hba1c I think it's called, don't know if they did any others. Anyway Dr surgery called yesterday saying blood results were abnormal (don't know if it's the hba1c or something else) and he shouldn't have been able to walk with those levels and he needs to go to hospital either last night or first thing this morning for monitoring and more blood tests. He went this morning but the only thing we know is that the ward is a surgical ward for vascular problems, upper GI and weight loss surgery. He has no symptoms of anything/doesn't feel unwell.
I'm really scared and also on a practical level I can't plan anything because I don't know how long he will be in. He was reluctant to go in at all because he went to a and e for pain relief for his kidney stones and they kept him in an extra day because there was no Dr available to discharge him. We've got 5 dc with disabilities and he is worried about how I will cope on my own, especially as I can't drive. TBH I'm worried about that too. I wish I knew what the plan was or how long he will have to be in but I don't know anything. I can't even visit him because I've got the children to look after. Dh kept saying not to worry because he feels fine but he's obviously not fine otherwise he wouldn't be in hospital. I'm so worried they are going to find something awful wrong with him and selfishly I don't know how I'm going to cope on my own. I can manage over the weekend just about but goodness knows how I will do the school run and I'm going to really struggle with lack of sleep with no dh there to help.
How long should I expect monitoring to go on for? Will we get any answers on a weekend? From my experience of being in hospital and the dc being in, once you are in hospital being monitored then you suddenly become much less of a priority for anything being done. Dh is registered as a carer with our GP. Will that help speed things up or not?
