First argument when home will be..."you miserable bastard, here I am dying in the hospital and ye wouldn't even cough up for a cab fare"and hopefully will be home soon bending your ears again.

No John, it would more likely be "You lazy so and so, you've left some washing up for me to do"!First argument when home will be..."you miserable bastard, here I am dying in the hospital and ye wouldn't even cough up for a cab fare"![]()
Take care Bud.It's been a hellish week for us. The wife had to go into hospital for a colonoscopy on Sunday just gone as the doctor suspected that she might have Bowel Cancer. As it is (And thankfully) the colonoscopy showed that she was 100% clear of cancer. What she didn't tell either me or the consultant at the time on Sunday was that she had been having chest, shoulder, arm and jaw pains for the last few days - She hid it so well from me that I didn't have a clue! As it is she waited until about 1;30 this morning to ask me to call for an ambulance as she felt that it was getting worse. I should have realized when our dog would not leave her side but I was too blind or stupid to notice that!
The ambulance has taken her to hospital at 2;30 this morning with a suspected heart attack - If it is a heart attack it will be her third one!
I feel that I have let her down as I did not notice that there was anything wrong and to make it worse I had a 2 liter bottle of cider followed by a rather large whisky during the late evening so I am unable/unfit to drive to get to the hospital to be with her right now as it would not be sensible (Or safe) for me to drive right now.
At the moment I am glugging down cups of strong black coffee and hoping that it will not be too long before I am safe to drive so I can be with her at the hospital.
Why the hell do women hide these damned important things from us men and leave us feeling useless and a let down to them?
Good job FB.Good night all and thanks!
I guess it's just something that I do, just as some men will go to the pub and drink 4 or 5 (Or however many) pints of bitter (Or whatever) each night.Hope she makes a good recovery
I’m not sure why anyone over 14yrs of age would drink 2L of cider and a large whisky sounds rather disgustingbut that’s another topic

only teasing mate i gave up the booze 20 yrs ago so what do i know???I guess it's just something that I do, just as some men will go to the pub and drink 4 or 5 (Or however many) pints of bitter (Or whatever) each night.![]()
Glad to hear she's in good form Frenchie, an old lady friend of mine has been waiting a week for the same treatment. They moved her last night to another hospital in B,' Ham, she hopes to get it done today. I told her it was all due to a mis spent youth with me.![]()
I guess so many of our wives are the same, (At least that is how it looks). They say that they don't want to worry us but don't they realize that we are here with them to help them through things like that. The annoying thing is that if there are times when the boot is on the other foot mine will badger me to tell her what is wrong while they hide these things from us so well, it really can be infuriating at times when they will not tell us men that there is something wrong!They're all the same my wife hid stomach pain away from me I came home from work to find her unconscious in a corner of the bedroom.
