My Wife Abandoned Me While On A BP Of 250/150.(A Cameroonian Nairalander's Tale) by grandlexuz(m): 11:59am On May 03, 2019
As I look back at the last two years I acknowledge it's nothing short of a miracle to be alive. I got up on the morning of 2nd October 2017 feeling completely faint and light headed. Though I could get around I certainly could tell a whole lot was going inside me by the end of the day. Two days later when I couldn't take it any more I visited the hospital and behold my BP was 250/150. The terrified nurse in abit thought the BP monitor had malfunctioned..Lol With repeated readings revealing same numbers I was immediately placed on a Nicardipine iv drip..Whilst the Nicardipine drip was able to bring down my numbers, it bounced back to strastopheric levels as soon as it ran its course.. That was only the start of a long journey of consistently raised BP despite the best of treatments.

During hard times most folks would expect their spouse to be present lending emotional support and comfort. Quite frankly emotional support from loved ones during times of sickness is as good as the best medications. During my plight I hoped my wife and mother of our two sons will show me a tenth of the affection and attention I would readily give her had she fallen stead. How wrong I was!! I would describe my love for her in this way. If my wife had a kidney failure ( God forbid) and needed a transplant I would readily give of my one kidney without a second thought. If the operation wasn't successful and my second kidney was needed I would have given again. That is just how much I love(d) her.

To say I was abandoned by wife is an understatement. At the beginning of our relationship 11 years ago I knew she wasn't the most caring of women, but other things added up. Besides I wasn't looking for a Miss perfect and thus I indulged. One month after my health struggle I saw the true colours of the woman I had lived with for 10+ years... As I ran low on cash seeing different cardiologist so did my woman's attention diminish..Lol Infact her attention diminished faster than the cash.lol With a now restricted diet ( no salt, maggi, red oil, beef) I got up one morning to realise I had to go to the market buy food stuffs, cook them before I could eat. That was with Bp hovering around 220/130. As cash eventually dwindled I was now on my own. My life belonged to me alone and thus the responsibility to stay alive weighed heavily on my shoulders.. Shopping, cooking, doctor's visit alone, rushing to the emergency unit during points of heightened crisis etc.. I remember getting up at night with severe panic attacks, chest pain, shortness of breath to the attention of just my 5 years old son(God bless him mightily). Countless times I ferried my self to the emergency unit at odd hours unaccompanied..

By March 2018 my wife opted out of the relationship. I had taken 17 different medications over 6 months. Yet my wife didn't know the name of one..Medications that were scattered on the shelf of our room.. Fast forward to May 2019, my BP is now stable at 116/66.. That is after seeing 5 different cardiologist, 3 internists, 2 endocrinologists and 1 nephrologist.. I drink 5 medicines daily and its been a journey of extreme side effects getting to this point.. I now live with my two sons in a different town and despite the setbacks from the side effects life is still worth living and giving the best to my kids.. I still love my wife and is ready to take her back if there is a genuine repentance and willingness to make an effort in amending her ways.. Will I wait on her forever - No! If God brings a worthy woman into my life I will be willing to give love a try again..

P.S.. Blood pressure is measured in two separate figures.. The up known as the systolic ( pressure exerted on the artery walls when the heart beats) and the down known as the diastolic (Pressure exerted when the heart is resting between beats).. The systolic is expected to fall between 90-120 and the diastolic between 60-80. Thus the highest figure should be 120/80 now revised to 135/85.. Higher than that you are referred to as suffering from High Blood Pressure in different stages depending on your numbers.. High Blood Pressure is a silent killer and carries with it the risk of stroke, heart attacks, kidney diseases,coronary artery diseases, heart diseases etc.. So folks do well to check your BP regularly and get diet modification tips and or medications if appropriate..

Thank God for your life. Most people don't know the true meaning of the 'in sickness and in health' oath they take on their wedding day.

Sorry to say but your wife wasn't raised right. But I guess you knew that but still went ahead to marry her for God knows why.

But your focus now should be on your health. Avoid anything that will cause your stress . . . also monitor your blood sugar as the BP medication could lead to a high blood sugar.

You are one of the lucky few. A lot of people don't live to tell this story. It is well!

When it comes to loyalty, give it to dogs. Get yourself a dog and forget that woman.

Btw, where are your parents? Aside dogs, parents are the most loyal and caring beings one can ever have.

Nothing beats selfless love; your story is a serious warning to those who underrate the influence or power of genuine love in relationships. Money can NEVER buy love.

Thank you Oyindidi.. I am meters away from the once vibrant fine boy I use to be..Lol However I remain extremely grateful to be alive without the major disabilities that come with extremely raised BP.. I know a bunch of young men who are down with stroke. Most of them never came close to the kind of BP I had. By the way I am 39.. The saga started at 37..

Haha.. So true.. Day in day out I wish she will get to her senses but frankly things only got worse.. On the other hand I have seen some very wonderful ladies take care of their sick husbands. One of my neighbours had a stroke 3 months before I fell sick.. His BP hovered just around 160/105.. For two years his wife has been totally committed to his recovery. Today he can walk thanks to the support from his wife..

Hahaha.. Bros why you di want add kerosene to my fire na? The kids are mine there is no denying that.. My joystick and theirs na same size and colour..Lol Lol... On a serious note some women can be heartless..During that period her little cousin(girl) of 15 lived with us. A girl I took as my own child.. What I saw from her my mouth cant say.. I use to be the best daddy in the world by her own words, when I got her an android at age 13, pocket money now and then for her needs etc.. When I fell sick I became Lavells Daddy..hahah ( Lavell is my sons name) During my sick period she referred to me as Lavell's Daddy unlike the "My daddy" I had always been.. Looks like a genetic thing..

@OP

I wish you speedy and total recovery. You're just unlucky to have married a woman with bad character, one who isn't selfless towards you. There are still plenty of women around who're faithful in particular and good in general, so don't allow her small-mindedness to skew your perspective towards the female gender.

Thank you Bro.. I certainly am one of the blessed few.. My Cardiologists couldn't believe how on earth I moved around with a BP that high.. It was secondary hypertension thought to be caused by either pheochromycotma of hyperaldosteronism..In the end we settled for Worst resistant Hypetension Ever.. grin grin

You are right my brother. She is the most self centred woman I have known.. I have met some truly wonderful ladies over the last one year.. Selfless and sacrificial, but my heart has been too blinded with love for the kids mum..I still yearn to see my kids grow with their mum and father in a home.. I wish she could change but I doubt it is possible.. The hard way I have learned no amount of rain can wash away the Leopards spots.. Openly she said she had no ATENTION to give me..

My parents are okay. Live in a different city.. However I had expected some level of healing attention from my wife and not my parents.. I really could give my life to safe hers and so thought the least she could do was show me some attention.. Frankly I wouldn't wish my worst enemy to experience what I went through

And you are still planning to welcome her back into your life just like that?

Do you know if she was a risk factor for the High BP you developed?

Stress is responsible for 90% of all diseases -
WHO. Have you determined the stress behind what ailed you?

Marital pain and tension, spousal abuse, rejection and unrequited love, marital betrayal or disappointment or regrets, resentment, unforgiveness are all forms of stress. You must determine the problems or stresses that hassled your life before the illness and avoid those problems or people.

Many heart problems emanate from heart issues. Sometimes our hearts can't bear it any more and cries out with physical symptoms.

Resolving those painful issues and freeing your heart from the burdens and toxicity can aid your healing. This is the spiritual angle to your healing.

'Dis-eases' can lead to diseases. And yes, avoid toxic people for now.

My 2 kobo

Best wishes

You fell sick and your wife showed no concern, a woman with whom you have two kids

It's said that in every action, there's equal and opposite reactions, some men had lost the trust and love from their wives do to infidelity and other bad behaviors, you won't understand how pained she is bcs she is still under your roof

I just want to know what you were trying your very best to justify here Sir...

So when you said in any action, there's an Equal opposite reactions... You were implying that if the OP was a bad lover, and promiscuous... The woman is justified for abandoning him during the hours of his needs without helping out correct?...According to what you were implying, Since she was pained.. Even if his life is at stake there's no reason whatsoever to help take him to the hospital and be with him until he was out of danger?... Even when they had something in common which in this case was kids that was not enough for her to stay and look after the man rIght? ...

Even if you hear her side of the story... or if this is a sub story, Is there any justification for letting a spouse suffer when health and life is involved ? ... Even armed robbers that killed someone during robbery but was wounded during shootouts got saved and got treated very well in the hospital before being taken to court despite the fact that he killed someone.. ... and one just wondered why they didn't allow them to die....

I will never tell you what to think or the perspective to look at things but I'm greatly shocked that this is really coming from a man...

Whew! Biko, don't go any close to her again. Love your kids and love yourself even more by continuing to fight for live while enjoying it as well. Love isn't a do or die affair, just appreciate a good person willing to walk the length of life with you in truth and respect...all the rest shall be added to you. It is well
