Default Update on hubby

*see other thread about him at er*
The night I posted the other thread, he still would not go back to er. He even had an episode where he acted like he was drunk. We were playing cards by candlelight (we lost power that night and it just came on tonight due to a bad storm). I was crazy with worry, but could not get him to go back to er. Dtr and her boyfriend thought he would be ok till morning.

Went to his reg dr the next morning. She also agreed that he was more than likely bleeding inside. Turns out what I did not know was he had been taking 4 ibruprofen for a hurt shoulder every so often. I knew he had been taking 1 or 2 a day but not that many. So she got him an gi scope scheduled that very afternoon. I had to ask for a wheelchair because I thought he was going to fall over. He had gotten to the point just walking a little made him dizzy.
He has a huge (dr's word) ulcer. due to the ibruprofen he is sure. Dr sd not bleeding right now but prob has been for a couple of months. I need to watch him today (so may not go to work again), he is off work till at least tuesday after seeing his reg dr again. I could kill him for taking so much. I had warned him about using it everyday.
oh, and he is going to ortho dr for his shoulder soon.
Thanks for concern!
