Wife or Mother. Not both.
Don't keep her in Mother-mode for extended periods if you can help it.
But it does show progress that she respects you enough now to help you when you're down.

You won't get much and don't expect any kind treatment from your wife. You'll get it or you wont. Just the nature of women who have invested emotion in you
I could tell you horror stories of my father breaking his spine. Or minor ones where I've gotten pneumonia, double ear infections, bronchitis and the flu all at once.
I do a "die on your feet" mentality. Meaning, I ain't got time for stupid shit and the first sign of stupid shit, she's grounded to her room.
But I have a separate bedroom to stay in for that kind of shit.

Trust me, I know. Recovering from 2 surgeries this year taught me that.
Several years ago I got a parasite called cryptosporidium. It took me the fuck out for like 2 weeks. At one point, I was in bed, fever, vomiting and shitting the works. I come out of my delirium and see her spraying Lsyol on me. LYSOL!
So I got my ass out of bed and drove to the hospital, where they hooked me up to IV for dehydration.
She did feel a little bad about that and it is a recurring joke.

Dude, fuckin Lysol?!?! How did you not leave her for that shit?
Also, sorry about the dyverticulitus(sp). Buddy of mine from work had it so bad they had to remove a piece of his bowel and he now has a shit bag. Best of luck with that shit homie.
Thanks. To be fair, we didn't know what was wrong with me at that point and I did smell pretty bad.
Not something you leave your wife and kids over, I don't think. We have been married for 24 years, that is by no means the low point. Actually, our marriage was pretty solid back then.

Lysol is not fair, but I get it. Lol

My mother put my father in the back of an SUV, unrestrained like a dog, to the hospital for MAJOR spine surgery. Her rational was because he might of vomited due to the pain meds that came from a pump under his armpit that dripped directly over his heart...in his body cavity.
It is the abacus, "counting frame" of approach I use for my own wife. This boundary I enforce absolutely.

As you increase your value, you become harder for her to replace, so she'll put more effort into keeping you alive and around. Part of that increase in value is not complaining and just handing shit as best as you can. She would rather voluntarily take care if a strong stoic man than be forced to care for a weak man who begs and complains.
Keep up the good work and realize that if you become weak and pathetic again she'll resent you and not try so hard to keep you around.

Thoughts?
Brock Lesnar made the condition cool. That's the only answer obviously.

I really don't get why would you even be in a relationship with a woman like that?
There are alphas who don't give the slightest shit about women and there are those who show love and care. Same with AWALT: there are woman who will be descent human beings even if they are not attracted to you, and not send you to fix the lawnmower or spray lysol in your face when you are sick and can barely move. This is just plain fucked up.

Dude. Get that shit taken care of. I lost 18 inches of my colon to it. It can kill you.
That sucks. How many episodes before surgery? This is my third in less than a year, albeit this is the mildest.
Just waiting on doc right now, holidays aren't helping.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (10 children) | Copy Link
4 or 5. I would monitor that very carefully were I you. Never had any episodes as bad as what you describe, only mild, more flu like. Just don't get distracted is all I'm saying because I spent one summer, two surgeries and a month with a temporary colostomy before they put me back in one piece. That shit can get very bad very fast. By shit I mean the diverticulum.

damn.

Not a summer I look back on with fondness. Indebted to that surgeon no doubt about it.

Saved my life. Sent him a four bottles of his favorite scotch. He's one of my favorite people.

Dude, read this website to learn about some other options for dealing with this. The info there totally changed my bowel habits and got me regular again.
i don't know how I got this condition. Never had constipation or had to strain. No fiber sounds like a bad idea, but too much doesn't sound great either. I just want to get past this episode, which is getting worse, actually.
[–]rocknrollchuck0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I used to have problems with constipation, and was using fiber on a regular basis to make myself go. Over time I had to increase my fiber use, and I knew that long-term it couldn't be good. I found this website and read EVERY article on it to learn about what was actually going on. There is a ton of good info there, and I'm sure you will learn something you didn't know if you spend the time to read all the articles there. Maybe something will help, and it's certainly better than surgery.
One thing I would try first is colon hydrotherapy (you know, where they stick a tube up your butt and flush you out with water). I did three sessions a couple years ago, and honestly you wouldn't believe what came out. It's definitely worth a try. There is no "getting past this episode", there is only fixing the problem or getting surgery.

Not a doctor, but you might want to look into liquid foods like soylent or a DIY version. Once you dial in to a good formulation it can get your system running nice and smooth, hopefully reducing stress on the gut.
That's exactly the protocol. Liquid diet for a few days, then move up to soft foods, then a low fiber diet for a couple of weeks, then slowly reintroduce fiber.
I am doing a bit better, able to eat some yogurt today.
Lost 10 fucking lbs since Sunday. Yikes!
[–]InChargeManRed Beret0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
The nice thing with soylent et al is you aren't skipping nutrition, it is likely more healthy than your "normal" diet. I get 75% of my calories this way.
