Rufus

@te-kanawa.bsky.social

Hey friends I'm a wreck right now. My wife has been having stomach issues for weeks. No matter how many times I told her, she wouldn't go to the ER. Well, she walked in and they admitted her right away. Ladies, why you gotta be so stubborn? 😔

I’m glad she’s in the professionals hands, Rufus. I hope she recovers quickly.

Because I'm always met with "it's all in your head" every time I go and I don't have a way to justify paying $100 to be told I'm faking it.

In the hospital caring for my aunt. A Belgian priest comes over and takes both my hands. I think “Please not religion, not now.” He says: “You need to take care of yourself or you will be no good to your aunt or anybody.” He saw how I looked and it was great advice and memorable. So take care…

Because 1. We juggle so many things in our lives for so many people, we don’t have time to stop or slow down 2. When we do see about our health, providers don’t take our pain seriously and blame our weight instead of finding the problem 3. In the US, there’s a financial consideration to evaluate

1/2 I got the stomach flu one mothers day, literally thought, I need the ER, as I lay on the bathroom floor. Week and a half later, flu was gone, but exhausted and heartbeat was weird. Finally went to the doc... day later, in ICU with no measurable red blood cells and about half the normal volume

Shes lucky she had someone hounding her to finally go. 20 years into marriage I’ve discovered that’s what love is. Annoying each other towards a longer life. Hope she feels better asap

Stubborn, often. Ignored, constantly. We go in for help and are told we’re stressed or overreacting. Often we wait because we don’t expect real help.

Cause when you seek medical intervention they ask if you're pregnant, make you take a test, then tell you it's probably just your period and/or anxiety and send you home. In the USA this costs about 2 grand

We are taught to minimize our pain. From a very early age. And care for others before ourselves. We are taught that we should die on the cross before we 1. break a sweat doing everything for everyone, or 2. [gasp] ask for help.

To be fair, had she gone in earlier, they'd diagnose peri/menopause and kick her right back out

Talk to the woman. My sister had "stomach trouble," just before a planned Thanksgiving family reunion. By Christmas, she was gone. Don't **** around with this.
