You are welcome. Who knew the marriage of a teddy bear to a chainsaw could be so successful? Now the question is: Does a Husqvarna poop in the woods? [;)]

thank you very much CosmicFoxKitty <3

Most terrifying or creepy things are popular, no clue why. What is that last part though, Tis confuses me.

Ah you're welcome hun (:


So it's 12:38 a.m. and I'm in the hospital with my husband. He is 22 and has diabetes apparently and an infection that they have no clue where or what started it. Pretty sure I'm ready for a positive to happen.

oh no best wishes to you and your husband cosmicfoxkitty

Thank you so much I really appreciate it

will you be sleeping over at the hospital

We have slept at the hospital the last two days.
It's not very comfy to be honest.
They stopped coming in as much since last night.
So we've both been sleeping most the day.
I feel terrible not being able to stay awake.

awww I hope it will be worth it in the end

The infection isn't mersa, is it?

It was gastro intestinal infection or something like that....
But his white blood cell count is where it should be now.
We were released yesterday but we've done a lot of sleeping

Was it gastroenteritis? I had this once. It was from some bad sausage. Was basically like diarrhea.

was it a helicobacter pylori infection

did he have ulcers

No Ulcers, I think they said what Mr. Wrong said... But they didn't really tell us much at all and just focused on yelling at us for his diabetes. He did have a little diarrhea but nothing alarming. We knew he was sick but it didn't seem super bad until apparently his sugar messed up. I don't know honestly it's all pretty cray cray.

This gastroenteritis kept me close to the toilet for a day and a half. The stool was in small yellowish chunks. It wasn't from infection, but from food poisoning. No fun at all.

My best friend told me that drinking soda pop would kill the bacteria affecting me and he was right. The reason being that soda pop has an acidic content that gastrointestinal bacteria are killed by. But you will never get useful information like that from any medical professionals. Obviously it wouldn't be recommended to your husband due to his having diabetes and it being a cheap and easy fix to end his gastroenteritis. Medical professionals seem have a disdain for cheap and easy medical fixes. They're so awesome like that.

He was never really in the toilet though.... I know that there infection was actually in many body parts including his heart so I think they told us that as a way to shut us up. We do know his white blood cells are where they are suppose to be now.... So that's good

Ahhh, if he ever has the same symptoms I'll have to try it so he heals a little faster, they wouldn't let him have any soda or anything the first day and a half. So towards the end I kept buying him diet cokes, because he wanted something other than water.

they should not be yelling at you

Well not yelling, more like nagging every chance about how shitty our diet is and how we have to exercise and how we have to monitor it and etc.... But we didn't even know he was diabetic... And some of the nurses nagging eat worse than us smh idk

It probably wasn't gastroenteritis then. I think those diet Cokes can cause Gout or at least contribute to it.

diet and exercise are important but you know that already and will make changes

Mr. Wrong - He would drink normal sodas or coke zero... He still prefers coke zero to diet. But idk.

Salvete - exactly ;) we were actually trying to make our diet healthier a few months ago.. we wanted to get healthy to feel better and so he can accomplish his dreams and so I can have better self confidence (:

If you're going to drink a soda, drink the real deal. No diet crap for this one.

that is great, cosmicfoxkitty

I am not sure if this is 100% medically or scientifically accurate, but some internet articles are saying that diet sodas actually make you eat more solid foods than regular sodas do?

Well that's just weird if it is true... I prefer gateraid tbh.

Also I'll drink normal sodas cuz diets taste chemically to me.

Diet soda does taste crappy. It's because its been replaced by artificial sweeteners produced in a lab. When consumed in large enough quantities, a hand will begin to grow out of your forehead.

you mean gatorade :D lol I was looking at the word and was like hmm what is that but then I realized I knew what it was *nods*
