Today is Friday Robert, I'd imagine you are still in the hospital...
When you get home and join us again, you'll have many more questions, and the folks here do have good answers.
On the scope...
hey, I never have to have it again...
my bladder is coming out. Dam thing is wore out anyway...
Keep your head up buddy,
it really will get a little easier to take every day.
No different than everything else in our lives.
Pain is relative, none of us like it,
none of us get used to it.
But it usually doesn't last long, and then we forget it.
At 61, I've had so many bang ups, bumps and bruises, broken bones and all the other crap life throws at us...I'm learned to start laughing before it hurts... Main thing is, we do get past it, no matter how bad it sounds, feels or seems. Tomorrow really is another day and that's how we overcome this stuff...one day at a time.
I was really lucky to have an old time, farmer grandfather ( both in fact ),
the type that threw you in the creek and then said "it's time you learn to swim"...and you did !
When I was about ten, and could already swim like a fish... ;D
I shut the door to his big Buick on my right thumb. I could not reach around with the other hand and unlock the door.
Like most kids, I was wailing and screaming for my 'papaw' to help me...
I swear, he stood there with both fists balled up and held on his hips and just looked at me until I quit whimpering and said please.
Then, he said,
"Son, it'll feel better when it quits hurting".
Then he opened the door and just walked off.
As always, he was right !
