You can file a grievance later!! Right now, your husband is in dire need of emergency care. The electric company should work with you. If they don't, there are programs that can help you get it back on. Would you rather live without electricity or without your husband?
Those Dr's are quacks and you need to take him to the Emergency Room NOW!! I'm not just saying this for fun. Think of how you will feel if he gets worse and something really bad happens and you didn't respond to him.
I have seen this before. I know a few cases where people ignored this type of issue and let it go because they didn't want to get admitted or they didn't have insurance. They ended up turning a 2-3 night stay in the hospital into a 3-6 month stay in the hospital and a couple died while the other had to have 90% of their intestines removed, eat from a tube the rest of their lives and crap out a bag that came out of their abdomen.
Your husband is scared and most likely in denial. Maybe you are too? You need to take control of this situation and get him the help if he won't do it for himself.
The reason his distention got better is because his bowels have shut down and are no longer making all the fluids and enzymes they are supposed to...which is what was leading to the distention. Once the bowels shut down and they slide into themselves like that, the bowel begins to strangulate on itself and it begins to die and become necrotic. Ultimately his bowel will split open causing his bowel contents and all the bacteria inside his bowels to pour into his abdominal cavity. He will become even more painful, and will become septic. Once he becomes septic he will go into shock. Once he goes into shock he will die.
Every minute he spends away from medical treatment is one step closer to death.
So yeah, ask him if he wants to die and what he'd like on his head stone.
PLEASE GET HIM HELP!!!!

I have been trying all day. Well since last night. I told him the same thing, "DO you want to put me and your son through the pain of that'? He just says "This is normal I swell like this at least twice a month" blah same old same old. I tried scaring him into going. I tried bribing him into going. He just won't. I talked to his gastro and he said he'll be fine according to the CT till Wendsday. If he starts passing blood or black tarry stools then take him to the ER. IDK, I tried everything. You would think the pain alone would send him running to the hospital. Yeah talked to the electric co. They said since I signed a contract back in winter, they could'nt give me an extension and Community Action does'nt have any funds to help. But I don't care we will find it somewhere. I just hate seeing my husband hurt. I might just drag him there tonight. He promised if the pain gets too much he'll go in. But i don't know if he's doing that to pacify me or what. Probably. Right now he's in the floor playing with our kid. He acts like he feels better but still, like you said. I might just have to start a fight with him to make him go. If that's what it takes I will.
