Those are definitely words to the wise, @lizelle! It's great that you were persistent. Some people just do not want to address a potential health issue until they have to. They might hope it's just their imagination or that it will go away on its own. But sometimes waiting can be a dire choice. I'm so glad your husband is going to be okay!
I often tend to be guilty of ignoring signs and trying to self-diagnose and self-medicate, and when I end up at the doc, I always scold myself for being so stubborn!
Thank you for your sincere wishes @jayna
