Have you ever....

11 Apr 2007

Have you ever had to put a brave face on something because of the image that other folk have of you???
I seem to be regarded by some people as being the 'fearless racing biker'type, regularly kicking danger in the balls etc etc etc (a load of o'l bollox, but still!!)
Now... this morning, I took a trip to the doctors about a lump that has appeared on my spine twix my shoulder blades.. Doctor "hummmm, don't like the look of that at all",Doctor makes phone call.." Ok tomorrow morning, up the hospital for an operation"...
WHAAAAAAAAAAAATT!! :shock: doesn't this guy know that I dont do hospitals!! They have bloody great needles and people who stick em in you...!!!
Soooo... rough,tough biker type dad is now completely sh*tting himself, running a relay between the computer desk and the toilet, whilst darling daughter thinks that the ol' man will just take it in his stride.. And Mrs DD..?? " Never mind hon.. the lawns can wait until you get out"
Apparently, sympathy is somewhere between 'shit' and 'Syphillis' and is found in a dictionary... confused

So, now I'm following in Drews footsteps.. my turn to wear the 'peak-a-boo' gown.....

good luck does not bear thinking about things like hospitals but when needs must.

good luck honey
to answer you question yes i have, the family see me as the strong one, funerals i am the supportive one that can cope, no one actually realises i could be dying inside, but the brave face goes on cos its what people expect of me, what my family rely on, i do my grieving in private alone normally.

Thanks y'all!!! After the forth glass it's not so bad. drinkies

at least now when I collapse into a gibbering wreck (yeah.. ok nothing new!) everyone will think it's a result of the booze rather than the fact that i'm an absolute coward!! :scared:

I done believe that you have managed to get from a Doctors Surgery to a Hospital Appointment in less than 24 hours.
If this is true, then you must be a very special person, and I truly stand in awe.

I answer to the question, yes i have. I had to put a brave face on something recently, something that couldve ended up being very nasty for me. Thanks to me putting a brave face on me and reflecting myself as the stronger guy i think i saved my life rolleyes

I roll my eyes because it sounds silly, in truth it couldve been very nasty

.... yes in a similar situation to you. A lypoma on the back of my neck was taken out about 2 years ago, but the NHS being what it was they wanted to save money .... so cos I was waiting for the snip, I had a 2 for 1 operation ... the brave face was put on before the op cos I was sure they would get the two mixed up and cut out my bollox and tie the ends of the lypoma :shock:
good luck with your op and take time to recover after (I went out the night I came out of hospital till about 3am and both bits got infected .... you dont want to go there sad

)

Mummys brave little soldier has had his lump taken out and is now lying face down calling out for TLC and
a large Cognac....
He has asked for any potential nurses wishing to give him a 'good rub down' (his words!!) to form an ordely queue. (although what he's going to do being face down, I don't think he has given much thought to!!)
We've got to praise the local hospital though. In at the appointed time (no waiting!) a local jab to sort him out, 45 mins later, abccess cleaned, lump removed, byopsie taken results due on Saturday morning!! Total cost.. euros!!! :thumbup:
Thanks to all of you for your good luck wishes, I know that he was terrified despite the bravado, something caused by 99% of men being an ego wrapped in skin.....
Still, he's no good to me for a few days, so I guess its time to get an electric man out!!

Its not just France, my mum lives in Spain and they just built a new hospital, yes a brand new state of the art hospital. Only took 2 years, dont know about the cost/budget, but she needed a cat scan and was in and out extremley quickly.

'Tis a happy sharky type chap who sits here (although sitting slightly askew due to the open hole in his back ) after being given the news late this morning that the lump removed from my back wasn't my brain slipping down my spine, nor (thankfully!) anything nasty, it was a ...hurrummmpphh!!!..fat deposit (wot?) which for reasons best known to its bloody self, decided to turn into an festering lump!
Anyway, many thanks to all who lent moral support whilst I was trying (in vain!) to be all big and brave.
Mrs DD still hasn't cut me any slack on the effing lawns though... :violin:

Mrs DD is currently tucked up in her favourite chair, glass of wine in hand and glued to some slushy film on the T.V. I have asked (like all good boys should worship

) if I can go out and play and was told.."You'd make a better door than a window.. so naff off out of the way of the screen".... Take that as a 'yes' then!!! :rascal:

It has been said..(clears throat..) that 'pratice makes perfect' who am I to dispute such a claim?? dunno

so..... a little bit of 'praticing :twisted: ' could be just what the doctor ordered! (in truth, the doctor didn't say a word, but he didn't say dont do it so I just think we should take that as an 'Okay'!!)
