Guys react differently to situations than girls. Take for instance Wednesday around 1:30. Four friends on the golf course. We're on the third hole. Frank says, "Man I'm feeling bad." Friends say in support, "Well you look like crap to. You going to tee off or not?" He say, "No I'm feeling pretty bad, I think I'm going to quit." Friends say in support, "WHAT!" He says, "No really I'm feeling bad, I think I may go to the hospital."
His three friends shift slightly out of the guy mode for a second. "You want us to take you?" He says, "NO NO NO! I'm not that bad. I can get there by myself!" Friends respond (shifting back into guy mode), "OK. But call us when you get there." He says, "ALRIGHT" and heads back to the club house. Friends actually delay golf game and show some concern by watching Frank drive the golf cart back to the club house. When he makes to his car friends say, "He's alright, whose turn is it?"
Ten minutes later Frank interrupts friends golf game with call to announce he has made it to the hospital. Later we find out that Frank (being a guy) waits an hour and a half to call wife. (It's a guy thing)
Later that night Frank's wife calls friends. Frank has had a heart attack. He will be staying in the hospital for the night and having more tests tomorrow. Friends go "whoops".
Next day Franks wife calls around 9:00. Frank had another more severe heart attack last night and is headed for surgery at 11:00am. Friends pack up and head to hospital to support wife and family. F&F (friends and family) gather in waiting room. F&F get updates. He is doing OK and his triple bypass is going fine. F&F joke how stubborn Frank can be and how he shouldn't have driven himself to the hospital. Friends agree that it was Franks fault for that decision.
F&F find out that Frank is coming out of surgery and will be in room xxx. F&F family find out that Frank actually died on the operating table and if he hadn't been laying on the operating table at the time that his third and super huge heart attack happened he probably wouldn't be with us anymore. Friends reaffirm that this is all Franks fault. Friends then figure out that Frank will only be seeing family in the near term. Friends then decide to leave and go to lunch. We'll go back ....... Saturday and see how he's doing. (It's a guy thing)

So I guess you're busy Saturday.
Two questions come to mind:
Are you going to visit before or after the golf course?
Did you find somebody to replace Frank for your foursome?
Before and yes.
I'm shaking my head.....guys!
So, if I were a guy, I think I'd make sure I had some gal pals!
Sadly this is so true!
Mike, you left out the puns, oneliners, etc, being passed around by all in the waiting room. His adult daughters are going to back the "chore sheet" they had as young girls. They will take good care of him as he recovers.
Frank is a beloved husband, father and friend and he will be fine. It's a good thing he went to the ER when he did.
bring back the "chore sheet"
when will guys learn......probably never. warning signs big bro, warning signs. you guys (and i know who you all are) should learn them. i would hope if you ever felt that way on the golf course, your friends would figure it out!!! we want you around for a LONG time! :)
So "guy" equals "idiot"? Jesus.
A friend went up today to see him for about 10 minutes. He has every machine imaginable hooked up to him. He seems OK except he says it hurts to laugh. Hmmmmmm ......... I've got a good book I could take up there and do some reading to him. The name of the book is '1000 blonde jokes'. What do you think?
