Lightheaded, dizzy, knees-buckled...
You're right...I shouldn't be asking as many questions and "self diagnosing". My husband had actually asked me to come ask, and had also demanded I not call the doc.
I do appreciate the input I get here. I will do more reading and less asking. I will take it slower and be okay with still being cruddy 3 weeks out.
My husband thinks he is he-man on the other hand...I did not think he needed to be hunting yet, but he went anyhow.
I am realizing I cannot be responsible for his recovery and mine. Concerned and supportive, yes, but not responsible. If he wants to ask y'all something, he can come ask himself.
Thanks again.

Heather,
I have a new bf with a list of diagnoses and meds. It is hard for me, too, not to want to get right in the middle of his medical care.
I'm learning, like you are, that I have my own medical care to deal with. He's a grown man and he dealt with his medical care without me and I'm sure he can continue to deal with it without me.
So I think you have made a wise choice.

Okay, husband is being a dick. It was stupid of him to go hunting three weeks postop, and with that kind of idiotic behavior (feel free to read him this post in its entirety), he deserves to feel like crap.
It was WRONG of him to "forbid" you to call the doctor and then to ask you to come here and put yourself out there like this, and doubly WRONG of him to expect us to diagnose him second hand via cyberspace.
If MY husband nearly fainted in the shower, it would not matter to me whether he "forbade" me to call the doc. My response would have been, "Screw you buddy, you need medical attention and you're going to get it."
If I were in your shoes, my only response to his future questions that need asking here would be, "Get on the computer and ask them YOURSELF."
That will be my future response to any further questions that get relayed through you. I'm not going to enable that kind of bull**** He needs to take care of HIMSELF. He thinks he's a he-man? He can SHOW me, cuz I'm sure not impressed yet.
