This is so accurate for me. I’ll attempt to walk off a broken bone, a mountain once stabbed my kidney and I was stoic as shit. But if I have a fever or chills? I require last rites
This is 100% me. I broke my hand (because I was an idiot and punched a wall) and just went to work and didn’t use it as much. I remember one dude shaking my hand and it being very painful. My dumb ass response to my wife about why I didn’t go to the hospital was "they wouldn’t be able to do anything to set it and I don’t want a cast, so fuck it.
I get sick and it’s a different story. I need all the help and attention. I can’t move. I am asking my wife to bring me tissue, trash can, soup, fluids, and meds that I might need. She takes care of me because I’m a whiny little removed and can’t function correctly.
The only difference with me is that I don’t want help, either. I want to curl up in a bed, somewhere in a corner of a dark room and not see anyone. I think it’s some animal part of my brain that doesn’t want a potential predator finding me weak and helpless. Leave me in my cave to recover or die
