ILiveInFlipFlops Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Would you send your DH to work or ask him to stay home? I woke up to pain this a.m., and DH works 45 minutes away. I have Percocet and Flomax, but I also have a stone that we know is stuck in my ureter :( Of course, he's also in sales, so no work = a possible hit to his income. WWYD?

ILiveInFlipFlops Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 I'm confused. Is he the one with the stone or you? How old are your kids if it's you? Me, and the kids are 10 and 7. I could possibly get myself to the hospital if I needed to, but I'm worried about if I can't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinmom Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 (edited) I have had a kidney stone and have both driven myself to the hospital and needed a driver on different occasions. I say send him to work. He can always come home and get you, can't he? If not, I might change my recommendation! ;) Do you have a neighbor to call in an emergency? I know 45 minutes sounds like a long time, but you may still have to wait a long time in the ER for more meds, so just call him ASAP if you think you need to go. Plan on taking an easy day at home and let the kids play. I know it can hurt so much...and the fear of another attack can be even worse. :grouphug: Edited September 24, 2012 by Twinmom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancer67 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Well, you can't drive anyways if you are taking percocets. I have passed a kidney stone, and there was no way I would be able to drive myself. But, I don't know if your pan is going to get worse, or it is going to hang around for a few more days until you pass it. And he could be home with you possibly for days. Tough call. I would send him to work, and worse case scenario you could always call an ambulance.:grouphug:I hope you pass this thing soon. I know how you feel.

Mrs Mungo Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Me, and the kids are 10 and 7. I could possibly get myself to the hospital if I needed to, but I'm worried about if I can't. I haven't had kidney stones, but dh has. He definitely would not have been able to drive. Which would cost you all more-him missing a day (or maybe half a day, if he can go in later?) or an ambulance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
