Michael & I said our vows over 20 years ago the following words were included Love - Honor - Cherish - Obey. It's safe to say that while we made have had our ups and downs over the years, we've both been very sacred to the vows that we took.
Why is it then that some family members make me feel as if I'm the bad guy for trying to "obey" and "honor" my husbands wishes? I've always felt like I need to do what was asks of me but at the same time he's really good about doing the same for me to. We just have that mutal agreement :)
This past weekend we spent Sunday afternoon at the ER because Michael was having some issues. We happened to be at his mom's when he said he was ready to go to the hospital. These were words that I was so ready to hear since he'd been hurting for several days.
His mom decided she was going which was fine because I know she was concerned but Michael didn't really want anyone there because we had no idea what was going on and he didn't want anyone else to worry. Honestly had we left from our house no one would have known until we got some answers, we've both been in situations that we've decided to keep information between the two of us until we got more concrete info to pass along to family members.
He & I both thought it wasn't heart related since they had done several tests over the last few months but since he was having chest pains they immediately took him back and started hooking him up to all sorts of machines. Thankfully all the test came back negative for anything related to heart.
It was quite funny that after they knew it wasn't heart issues every nurse, dr or emt person that came through his door ask if he had ever had gall bladder problems. He said not that I know of but maybe I am?
They did a CT scan & ultrasound but nothing showed up on his gall bladder so the ER dr suggested that he get a HIDA scan because he said sometimes it will show up on it. We've read a little about it on the net, a HIDA scan is a type of imaging study called a nuclear medicine scan. This means the HIDA scan uses a radioactive chemical or tracer that helps highlight certain organs on the scan.
We are certainly hoping they can schedule to have this done by Friday so he can get some answers, poor guy has been eating the most bland diet ever and I'm sure he's going to get tired of it.
He's got to go the fire academy this upcoming weekend & I certainly pray that he gets through it and is able to complete it because he's worked so hard to get this done. He's put in numerous hours of training to be able to get this far.
I can honestly say that I will continue to Love - Honor - Cherish & Obey my husband whether certain family members approve or not because apparently it's gotten us this far in our wonderful marriage so I suspect it will get us even further :) We are very blessed to have each other!

It's so hard to have a loved one hurting and not be able to fix it. I hope all is well in your world. Nice to meet up with you. Thanks for the nice comment.
