Wow, I hope your husband is alright.

That sounds terrible!

It was sixteen days in the hospital when normally they send you home the next day if they can remove it before it bursts.

He is not the kind of guy who says he is in pain when he is not, if anything he is a bit too prone to solder on when he is in major pain.

I was not going to take him home that night with more pain pills when I knew something was seriously wrong. I was ready to grab the ER doctor by the heels, turn him upside down and shake him until answers fell out. So they figured it was easier to give him the CAT then to deal when me anymore.

If they had done it earlier it probably would not have burst.

Doctors know medicine but they do not know you or your loved one. So they go with the most likely scenario. You have to tell them, sometimes forcefully, when they are looking in the wrong direction.
