BR--I haven't been able to get to GunBroker as often as I would have liked during the last few weeks so I missed your post about Classic's surgery. May his pain be lessened with the knowledge that thoughts and prayers of his friends here on GB are being lifted for him. He is sorely missed and your updates are appreciated.
Biopsy isnt back yet... stupid slow labs...and yes, I am angry... very very angry... I blew my stack at Classic... Just home from the hospital ticked off is putting it mildly...The nasogastric tube isnt coming out today as he thought, so he decided to pull a suck..and not walk around the unit till it comes out..Then he decides not to cough cause it hurts too much...
Well I guess I am a bit tired, cause it rubbed me the wrong way.. I had just delivered a magazine to a guy 20 miles away, not sleeping, worried and he decides to be a baby?????
I told him that too.. quit being a bloody baby... work thru the pain... its not like 50 years ago where you laid around for 2 weeks, and then drop dead cause pneumonia set in... now you get up and walk..and cough... Then he pulled the "you dont know what if feels like" bit... Well sorry baby.. I do... had a ruptured ovarian cyst.. ectopic preg as well.. dont know what it feels like?... oh yes I do..and I had to walk.. cough... you name it I did it, cause I stopped feeling sorry for myself and got on with getting out...and then I told him I wasnt coming back to visit with him till he had an attitude adjustment and if he wanted to come home, then get up and move.. dont be so bloody babyish...
Even got ticked when I didnt bring his book up... well kiss my you know what kid... you said the other day you couldnt read cause of the pain killer ..and now you want a book???????...
you know men are a royal pain in the butt at times... yes I got angry if only to get him to walk more...to get home with me where he belongs...
All he was thinking was of himself.. doesnt give a thought to me staying home, worrying.. wondering.... trying to sleep.. oh he** forget it...

If you really desire something, you'll find a way ?
? otherwise, you'll find an excuse.
BlackRoses....what you are both going through will finally be over before you know it. Worry over the biopsy report is getting to you both. Please.....you need each other. Just three more words and then I will shut up and mind my own business....patience, patience, patience.

BlackRoses: Honey, most men are complete babies about illness and pain. That is the way it is. Women are more stoic. It's in the wiring.
I would be a bigger baby than Classic, I am sure.
You are a good woman, and Classic is lucky to have you in his life. Keep telling yourself that over and over.
Being the loved one waiting for the recovery can be just as hard as being the sick one. We are all still pulling/praying for you both.

greetings, you said it earilier, "this too will pass". and i would add this all your worrying won't heal him any faster. as you know this is a process and all processes require patience. you and clas'ic are still in my prayers,but for now you need to get a good nites sleep and let clas'ic deal with his pain in the way he knows how. as far as the ranting goes, that is your internal pressure gauge, it's set for your unique experiences, so don't clog it , vent it here on the forum. respt submitted dads-freehold
Black Roses you are right in how you feel and how you are handling Classic. He needs to get up and dosent need to be babied. Kick him out of bed if that is what it takes.
As for you get some rest! Your falling apart is not going to help either one of you. It sounds like he is feeling better or he wouldnt be so cantankerest.
Remember the Tool family is praying for you both.
TOOLS
P.S. If he wont get out of bed let us know. I'm not to far away that I couldnt come down and help get him out of bed. Im sure I have a tool for the job.
When I was a child, I thought as a child. But now that I am growen, I just wish I could act like a child and get away with it.
Immerse self in (1), wrap stomach around (2) until you feel the muscles in your neck relax.
(3) Get good night's sleep.
(4) At your leisure, ramble down to hospital tomorrow revitalized and remind the ungrateful lout that if you didn't love him, you wouldn't give a damn if he were going to get well or not.
Beth, you're getting too wound up to do him or yourself any good. Us men can be real PsITA. Let him stew a bit & come to his senses. He will. You need to take care of *your*self too!
There's nothing I can say to make you feel better BR, except that Classic isn't himself. He's tired of feeling bad, and probably just plain tired. You know this is a dangerous time for him, and you love him and want what's best for him, it'll all work out - keep the faith, he will get better!
BR, I feel for you!! Tell Classic that if hurts to much to cough and he won't do the breathing exercises(they really do help) that GHD is going to come up there and shoot him in the * with the 17HMR! It will at least make him move! And according to all the experts here the 17 will not be lethal, it will just get him going!! If we lose our sense of humor we are in bad shape!!! GHD
I have been cut open a few times and if you don't get up and move you will get weak and sore. Was cut from sternum to past belly button on Tuesday morning and walked into my bosses office the following Monday morning just because he said I wouldn't be able to get out of bed for two weeks! Was back to work two weeks after that. With the bypass I was operated on Thursday morning and went home at noon Sunday. I didn't wait for the nurses to tell me to walk, I wanted out of there!! Nurses said that was why I did so well, told my wife I was a fighter. Hell I just hated the food! Tell Classic the longer he lays around the longer he will have to stay and remember, DON'T MAKE ME COME DOWN THERE!!!
God does not give us more than we can handle. But for the life of me, sometimes I wonder.Just ask yourself, is Classic worth it? Of course! Hang is there and before you know it, you will both look back at this and laugh about how much of a baby he was. P.S. Still praying.
BR, You tell him if he don't get up, I'm gonna get on the bike and come down there. On the way I'll pick up Robsguns and we'll each take him by an arm, and we'll get him walking.
Seriously though, You both are in all our prayers. I kind of understand where he's at from my knee surgery a few years ago. Us men tend to get kind of lazy when it involves pain. Make sure he knows it won't get any less painful until it gets more painful. Keep on his case, he'll get through it with your help.

P.S. When things get back to normal for you I'd like to pick your brain for info on getting medications from Canada. My co-pays are killing me. I know I can get them cheaper from up there, but don't know who's reputable and who isn't.
I know you are going through the roughest time of your life, and it's a real struggle everyday. Take comfort in the well wishes of all the people here who are thinking of you and praying for you. Don't let it get to you. I agree with all the others opinions, men can't stand pain. That's why God left giving birth to women. We say things we don't mean, sometimes the worst things to the people we love and need the most. Forgive, forget, and if you need to blow off steam, I always take those free AOL disks you get in the mail and my .357 Dan Wesson out to the farm. Watching those things shatter has a very calming effect. We love you guys, hang in there.
OK Beth, you're not going to visit him till he stops being a baby...
But maybe you can print this out and stop by the hospital to give him it:
Hi Classic,
BlackRoses is keeping us informed on your progress. We're getting some indications that you might be needing some "attitude adjustment". Some of the guys here are considering our options.
People are trying to be "nice" offering their support and prayers. But I think I need to tell you--MAN to MAN--that if you're going to be a big WEENIE and not do what your doctors tell you to do, then I suspect that BlackRoses is going to start giving away your guns! And inspite of all the "niceness" being expressed for you by the members here, the thought of "free guns" will turn us all into SELFISH PIGS!
You had better get your "butt in gear", get home and make sure the guns are safe!
Seriously, tough it out, man--and get home to be with "Your Lil' Stinker".
BR...I hope you'll actually give this message to Classic.
Dear Mr. Classic,
Knock it off you PU$$Y. BR is the best thing that ever happened to you and you know it. Treat her like the loving, concerned, LADY she is.
Take your damn medicine! Do your therapy! If the Dr. says cough...then COUGH!!! "OOH..OHH it hurts!" Shut-up and help yourself get well.
Nobody's gonna' do it for ya'!
Remember....WE know where you are. If we keep hearing about you being such a whiney wuss, you're gonna' have about 100 or so really pi$$ed off ARMED people descending upon you like stink on SH--!
Mudge the pleasant
I can't come to work today. The voices said, STAY HOME AND CLEAN THE GUNS!
BR, tell Classic to get up and MOVE IT!!! As you know, turning, coughing and deep breathing are MANDATORY at this stage, and to do otherwise is just asking to die of pneumonia or a blood clot. Make him get going!
BlackRoses:
When "we" were delivering our daughters into this world the word pain was brought up several times.
I kept telling my wife, "piece of cake". She wasn't too happy with me at the time, however I believe when a couple go through a painful experience it just makes them stronger.
I am sure this will be the case with you two.
You two are always in my thoughts and prayers.
When this is all done and he is all healed up,,,HE OWES YOU BIGTIME!!
He will heal, however, please, YOU hang in there!! If you have to vent,,let us have it,,that is what friends are for!
May GOD bless you both!
I was in your place six years ago. When I was diagnosed with colon cancer I pushed up the date of surgery and ran, not walked to the operating table. For days the post operative pain was like having been hit by a truck, not a gentle knife cut. The amount of morphine allowed me by the morphine pump didn't do it.
When you've looked the Grim Reaper in the eye and gotten away, be greatful. That the cancer cells hadn't invaded the lymph nodes or the liver was the best news.
Self pity over the pain is not a sign of gratitude.
Not long ago, fiberoptic colonoscopy didn't exist to examine the colon beyond the reach of the proctoscope so we're lucky on another count.

Tell Classic that Bullzeye sez "That which does not kill you, can only make you stronger".
It's a mantra I live by. Hell, why do you think I went Infantry?
