Whattup Horsey-holics,
I'm back to update you all on my goings on just like I said I would so...
I guess I’ll get started with topic #1.
The reasons that I haven’t been online were because of a sick family and springtime home improvement projects.
My wife, children and myself started a chain in the house of passing around colds. I don’t even remember who started it all, I just know that it started and we couldn’t get rid of it completely for over a month.
My 12 year old was fortunate in this escapade and never got sick but my wife and I both got a bad ear infection, head colds, flu symptoms and so on. You know, the crap that was going around a few months ago.
Unfortunately, my 5 and 3 year old got it bad and both of them suffered and stayed sick for the whole month. They both got double ear infections, double pink eye, constant fevers, vomiting, dehydration, etc. I mean the whole works. It was bad.
My 5 year old also got pneumonia and at times was puking blood. My 3 year old had a constant off and on fever that got as high as 106 and ended up in the hospital from severe dehydration and got an I.V. in her little arm so that they could get some fluids into her body.
I think in that month alone we were at our family doctor a total of 9 times and had, at least, 4 trips to Children’s hospital.
Now everybody that knows me knows that I don’t really concern myself with whether I’m sick or hurt or whatever. No matter how I feel I just try to keep going as much as possible but seeing my wife and children suffer the way they were doing was taking a bigger toll on me than being sick myself.
For some reason my family sort of thinks of me as superman in an odd way. No matter what problem my kid’s have, daddy can fix it. No matter what they are afraid of, daddy will kill it or beat it up. No matter what it is they want, daddy will buy it or get it somehow.
My wife sort of carries those same traits. She does very well on her own but there are a lot of times were my number is called to step in and fix what is wrong or wrong a right so to speak.
Now don’t get me wrong. I absolutely love the fact that they do this. I love taking care of my family and I realize that that is why I am here. In a weird kind of way, them thinking of me that way gives me a different kind of confidence about myself that I never felt before.
That is why them being sick took a lot more out of me than I lead on. I even think it may have been the deciding factor on me being diagnosed with high blood pressure.
Now before Mark Mattis starts running his cocksucker, I just want to say that I know my smoking and being overweight is the main factor but I hated seeing my family suffer and it was killing me.
Being “Superdad” is an honor to me and for me to just sit there and not be able to fix the problems was really hard.
Yes, my wife and I did what we could and kept on the doctor’s and hospitals until, after 4 misdiagnoses, they finally fixed our children but sitting there watching them lay there like zombies with fever’s or puking and nothing but blood comes out really killed me.
I mean I am “Superdad” right? Shouldn’t I just be able to take my hand and lay it upon my wife and children and make everything better? I wish it were that easy.
Anyway, the good news is that everybody got better and we are all fine and back to normal driving each other crazy.
Well, that's all I have time for for now so next week I’ll get started with the second reason I haven't been online.
