Worst Birthday Ever.

[RhinoinMN]

I would like to preface this thread by saying thank you to everybody for posting in my b-day thread. Its a good feeling to be accepted even though I talk funny and live in the central time zone.

Last Sunday my mother in law called the ambulance because of chest pain and shortness of breath. She has emphysema, asthma, and a mild case of pneumonia. When the EMT's were wheeling her down her driveway they hit a crack and spilled her onto the concrete. The result: 3 broken ribs and a punctured lung. Given her ailments, a punctured lunge does not bode well for her. Add a few mini heart attacks and we are all caught up to speed.

Last November I bought tickets to a festival in Chicago celebrating my all time favorite movie, The Big Lebowski.

The festival starts tonight. My mother in law is currently undergoing an angiogram. I am home with my kids while my wife is with her family.

I know that my mother in laws situation trumps my birthday. I don't think that I am insensitive for thinking about myself.

I am just a little depressed.

Worst birthday ever.

Sorry dude

[DiabloSammich]

Uggh.


Sorry to hear about the situation, but don't feel bad about thinking about yourself for a bit. It's a natural reaction. We'll hit the virtual bar tonight.

that blows

but it is family first

you need to have a belated birthday tailspin involving lots and I mean lots of alcohol


I want an " I have alochol poisoning" thread started the next day


days will go on, you can celebrate after all is cleared

[topless_mike]

not that you are sacrificing anything, but this will mean so much more to your wife than you can ever know.
karma, dood. karma.

there have definitely been worse birfdays noted on record... but it's ok to feel down about it.

it's still your day and i am sure i know of a few people who would love to spend at least part of it with you tonight in chat. :wink:

hang in there... your mom in law and wife are going through some un-fun shite. and you are being a really good guy. most of us gals are still searching around for one of those.

happy birthday, schmoopie :)

[Dougie Brootal]

at least you didnt have to start your own birthday thread!

[Tall_James]

Man, I am so sorry to hear that. After the kids go to sleep, pour yourself a stiff drink and find a movie to veg out to.

Oh, and since I forgot to post in the birthday thread. uh...happy birthday?

[DOHO@HOME]

Worst birthday ever.

:sad: I'm very sorry to hear about you're mother inlaw's extreamlybad luck..That's a tough one..You're not insensitive for having these thoughts bro, not at all. Plus,this is exactly the place to discuss them..Not to mention try and come up with a solution that suits everyone. Let's think..How about a babysitter or a relitive in the area?.. It is your birthday and exagent circumstances do exsist, this qualifies you for short notice exception.. I'm sure if you addressed your child care issues you could find a date to this curious Bi Lobo Fest....How old are they? Is there any chance they could come with you?...How fat are they? Is there anyone you could you fax them to?...There's answer in here somewhere..It's not gonna happen if you don't make it so.. I guess it all depends on how badly you wanna go.. It doesn't make you a bad person to wanna salvage some enjoyment out of what has clearly been a difficult time and a shitty birthday..And you don't even have to mention any of these feelings to your wife if you don't want to.. She has her own emotions to wrestle with..Don't forget.Count your blessings, they are many..Keep your chin up tiger, I mean rhino.. I always get my animals of the Serringeity inverted.. If you need someone to talk to, you can alway P/M Majikman.If he can't help you're S.O.L., but you can still P/M me (no homo)..:smile:

[riverofpiss]

I thought people only got dumped off of stretchers in very predictable comedies, not reality. The EMT's must feel like douches.:ohmy:

[RhinoinMN]

Thank you all for your kind sentiments.

I think that 1 of 3 things could lift me out of my bad birthday funk.

1. Gvac breaks lent and posts in my b-day thread

2. Someone gets me a plane ticket so I can make it to the bar night.

3. Fat_Sunny posts in my b-day thread.

[BoondockSaint]

That's terrible. I hope she pulls out of this stronger.

[Hottub]

It's a tough break, man. But you are doing your duty to the wife and kids. My birthday isn't going to be much better. No bar night for me. No kissing moochie goodbye. Watching Curious George and sipping some beers. Plus the Mrs. is "out of commission', so...

Don't worry, our day will come. Buck up and have a drink on me. Or head over to envirogatos's for another one. He has a mansion, you know.:thumbup:

I'll be here later on tonight if you want to vent. Maybe we'll get a chat going.

Happy Birthday, brother.

[Lady Resin]

Wow, I am am so sorry to here that RhinoinMN. My dad died a day before his 69th BD. My prayers are with you and the entire family.

Mother in law did well in her procedure and looks like things are getting better for her.

I am going to drown myself in Corona which isn't a bad thing.

Damn! How many times do I have to say this "I wish drjoek was my dentist."

If he was I could recite Big Lebowski lines while his tool was in my mouth.
