Took Husband to A&E last night.
He'd been complaining about a bad toe for a couple of days and it was so bad yesterday he was using a stick to walk and taking painkillers. He couldn't remember doing anything to it but wanted to get it checked out. We figured early evening was probably a good time to go so I dropped him off on my way to Zac's and collected him afterwards.
Turns out he has gout.
A visit to the local GP this morning and he got a prescription and should be better in a few days.
Honestly, I'm married to an old man!
And here for PipeTobacco and Chuck is a photo of a rocky road.
Gout is a rotten problem I hope it eases up soon.
ReplyDeleteI only know rocky road as an ice cream flavor, all sorts of nuts and stuff in it. This is an interesting dessert.
It's not just old people who get gout. A friend's son, who is in his late 30s, has been diagnosed as such.
ReplyDeleteYour rocky road sounds delicious. I hope the gout clears up quickly.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear your husband has gout. That can be extremely painful, I hear. Good that he's now got an Rx for it. I suppose he'll have to modify his diet to guard against future episodes.
ReplyDeleteI suspect the Rocky Road dessert came first and was the inspiration for Rocky Road ice cream. But that's just my theory.
That cake-like dessert looks delicious! I am sorry about your husband’s gout….. I have heard it is very painful.
