Enough is enough -- my weekend wish

We've had a bad few days:

* We lost a loved and respected TFL member
* There was another US school shooting
* A friend of mine came under Federal investigation for something he didn't do
* My brother was forced to sell his business at a loss
* One of my workmates had her house broken into last night
* I've been having severe chest pains for the past 48 hours and I'm too scared to go to the doctor

It's Friday night here already, the beginning of a long weekend (Foundation Day) holiday.

I want to make a wish (I would make it a prayer, but I realise we have brothers and sisters here who are agnostic or atheist):

Please let this weekend be one where we can all enjoy being alive.

Let it be one where we can, perhaps, shoot, and shoot well -- straight, and without anyone giving us grief for our chosen sport or means of recreation.

Let it be a weekend where we say, at least once, "I love you", to someone who matters.

Let it be a time when we can relax and enjoy our family, our friends, our homes -- whatever it is that we so often take for granted.

Let us look around as we drive or walk or ride, even over familiar ground, and really see the beauty around us.

Let's be generous to those who hate us -- even just once -- for our sake as much as theirs.

Let's offer thanks to ourselves, our parents, or whatever deity we do or don't believe in, for simply being.

And please, please ... let us all be here come Monday.

Have a good weekend my friends

Bruce

Bruce,
Well said. As for you, go to the Dr and have it checked out. I'll not appreciate hearing about your demise, especially when it may have been preventable. You take better care of your guns, apply that to yourself....Capishe?
Relax this weekend and have a couple of those fine gourmet meals with your wife. Relax my friend.

I'll be less polite than DC:

Get your down under down under to a physician and your health under control, pronto!

YOU ARE TOO VALUABLE A RESOURCE TO LOSE, MY FRIEND!

Share the burden here, if it helps.

Maybe all you need is some Maalox or Tums BUT YOU DON"T KNOW FOR SURE.
Go see a Doctor Now...Please.
We need you around here my friend.
Wishing you all the best...and may God bless.

Bruce, with all respect, get you a$$ to the doctor NOW! Being scared is nothing compared to being critically ill. (In best drill sergeant voice): Move it, move it, move it!
 
Bruce,

The chest pain is either cardiac or not cardiac. If it is cardiac, time is muscle, my friend. Please go to the nearest emergency department. Listen to the big nurse. Don't make me come get you.

Bruce,
GO TO THE EMERGENGY ROOM!!
Three years ago I began to have severe chest pains. I called my doc and he said to go to the hospital emergency room NOW. I didn't want to go, but I did. After all the tests, my heart checked out OK. The docs told me that sometimes middle aged men just have unexplained chest pains. It's been three years and there have been no more chest pains.
Go see.

Good luck, (But GO.)

Bruce, if you don't get this taken care of and The Worst happens, you're gonna have to deal with Gale. You sure you want him kicking your arse for the rest of eternity?

Go. NOW.
 
Bruce, we can all commisserate over the bad luck, but get your @$$ to the doc's NOW. There are others here with more medical knowledge than me, and they've given you good advice, but I just got back from the sickbay myself, turned out to be nothing too serious (a new variation on a sinus infection) felt very foolish for suffering for 3 weeks when I coulda been better sooner. Take care of yourself, we need you in aour ranks for quite a bit longer!

Hospital NOW! My neighbor had a heart attack this last January. He's 34 and skinny as a broom. He kept saying, "It can't be my heart." Well it was, and after 2 EXTREMELY close calls with death, he now has the heart of a 74 year old. The docs keep telling him how LUCKY he is to be breathing, not much comfort when a short flight of steps makes him breath hard and have to rest. No matter what age you are, or how fit you think you are, you can still have a heart attack. SO GO TO THE DOCTOR!

My boss left early on Friday because he wasn't feeling well (we later learned that it was sharp chest pains). He decided to go home and rest especially with the week-end coming up, he felt that he would take it easy. Over the week-end he felt a little bit better but the pain was still there. On Monday morning, he decided to go see a doctor. As he was being examined by his doctor, he suffered a massive heart attack. The doctor and his staff couldn't do anything to save him. On Tuesday we got word that he had died. [this happened a couple of years ago]

If you're not feeling well, GO TO THE DOCTOR -- it's what you don't know that can hurt you! Not knowing is not the same thing as it not being there. Knowing, on the other hand, steps can be taken to correct things.

Another story [this one happened last year] ... another friend from work was experiencing chest pains and after what happened to our boss, decided to see a doctor. They found a problem, operated and a month later we were shooting at the range together.

FIND OUT WHAT IT IS AND GO SEE A DOCTOR -- we'll be waiting to hear what he says (you'll be in my prayers tonight).

Bruce, GET YOUR AUSTRALIAN ARSE IN TO THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE, NOW.

Don't make me come down there.

Well, I'm back -- feeling pretty foolish.

Saw the doc -- it's NOT my heart. Would you believe it's my stomach?? Had the X-rays, barium meal etc. and they can see no physical reason, but it's apparently not uncommon. Means diet, exercise (spending too long seated behind a computer)and a better ability to deal with stress -- but my heart's sound as a bell. W-H-E-W!!!!!!

Thanks for the advice and care, guys. Sorry to have scared you all like that.
