Why do women do this?

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?

Caffeine has no effect on the metabolism of alcohol by the liver and thus does not reduce breath or blood alcohol concentrations (it does not “sober you up”) or reduce impairment due to alcohol consumption.

As John advises: jump in a Taxi and go be with your wife.
 
I've been on the phone several times to the hospital and they are saying that it was not a heart attack and they are waiting for results of blood tests so it is best to wait till they have the results. I have spoken to the wife by phone and she is also saying wait till they have the results.
The annoying thing is that she would not tell me that she wasn't feeling good and I didn't realize! I will give it another hour and call the wife again to find out what is going on.
 
That's no good Frenchie, hope it's sorted soon.
They are a tough breed alright. Been through that sort of thing with Mrs SHV, they seem to think that stuff will get better by the morning.
Grant.
P.S. Just read your post as I was about to press the button. Some good news at least.
 
Women are tough, dainty but tough, well some are dainty I'm reliably informed, but tough.

Don't take it as a personal slant. Just let her know how much you love her.
 
Hmmm. Thank heavens all is (relatively) good FB - I do hope the good lady makes a full recovery.
In short women are used to suffering - ask any married one! They just push on in silence whilst we lesser mortals roll over and apparently moan about it - bless them.

Right...first..... forget coffee and as said get a taxi... dont bl00dy drive !..... think you know that already....

second ....you cant blame yourself for this...... and if its her 3rd hear attack and shes had these pains .... no offense but she should have known better & told you ......ill get shot for saying that but hey ho ......

thirdly.... my regards to her and to you and that all goes well with recovery,...... but from a lessons learned kinda prospective.... hopefully you both agree to communicate fully and not shoulder / hide whatevers going on......you can only help if you know ... and with medical stuff...often early you do something the better is for a good result

all the best sir and hopefully all goes well

Yeah, women can do that. Although men are generally much better at the”ignore it, tell nobody, it’ll go away by itself” type of medicine.

I agree, take a taxi, bus, train or impose on a relative if available, but get to the hospital.
 
Ladies are very skilled at hiding things from us my friend so don't beat yourself up. Mine did just the same with C but luckily a nursing friend picked up on it. Go see her as soon as you can, praying for you both. 🙏🙏
 
I've just got back from the hospital after the consultant phoned me and said that it was after all a heart attack. They have got her sleeping now so I am going to get my head down for a couple of hours and then get back to the hospital.
all the best frenchieBoy hope everything turns out well for the Mrs :thumb:

it wont be long befor she’s giving you a bo##king for bringing muddy boots in the house
