You are in an ambulance on your way to the hospital and you call your wife/husband.

How do you start the conversation?

I'm convinced there really isn't a good way to do it.

I have already had to call my wife to let her know I was on the way to the doctor because they thought I may have had a mini stroke or something. I tried the "dont panic" and it didnt work. So if something ever happens again I will use the "funny thing" one. Turns out it was only stress that caused some blurred vision and other stuff not a stroke, I have learned my lesson and avoid stress at all costs

I don't know what my neighbor told my husband (after calling the ambulance) when she found me laying in the snow in my driveway when I fell & broke my hip -I would think the "don't panic" one -now I have to ask her & hubby -and I agree there is no "right" way to start that phone call!

"Well, Gary.......you're not gonna believe what I did this time."

Mom's on the roof....













c'mon, someone had to have heard that joke!

I picked other because if it ever happens I'm going to say to you "Remember payback's a biatch"

honey I'm headed to the E.R. but on the bright side you're gonna be coming into some money if I croak

Nice!!!!

i'm alive but........

"Hi Tom! I fell at a garage sale over on Dartmouth and I think I've broken something"

"Tom! I stepped in that hole and broke my foot!" (While geocaching together)

"I'm sure I broke my ankle...no that wasn't a branch you heard crack" (While clearing fallen tree from hill at our cabin)

Um my hubby is kinda used to this type of thing and he is a rock. He always assures me that I probably haven't broken something and that it is just sprained. Of course on past experinece he is prolly pretty likely to believe me now.

If in an ambulance I'd prolly go with the "I'm OK but...."

You are going to laugh when you hear what happened on the way to work today...

Haven't had to make that call to Mr. SGH for me, but in reference to keets, a couple of times:

Me: "We're still in the ER. They say Keet needs an emergency appendectomy."
Mr. SGH: "Hmm. Okay, well, call me when they're done."
Me: *click*
Two days later: "I'm still here at Children's Hospital. Your son had some complications. Could I please have some CLEAN CLOTHES??"

Another time:
"I'm at the ER at Childrens. Keet fell on the playground, literally ripped off half his face and has to be taken into surgery to put it back together."
"Hmm, wow. So, call me when you're on your way home."


I do not like ER's......

Mr SGH should be glad you're not me.

Don't have a spouse, and have very little family in the area, but two months ago today, I called a cousin and said--"You know how you always complain that I never call......."

Ask your BN Mom about the many unrepeatable things I said. When I melted down I called PHAW.

Sometimes bad works for good, though. I also brought keet home by myself. Had to go into the pharmacy and get pain meds and because it was a hot July day the poor kid had to walk in with me, all doubled over. The pharmacist looked at him and asked, "Is this for him??" "Yes." "This is an overdose; it's an adult dose!" I shook.... If he hadn't been with me the pharmacist might not have noticed and God knows what might have happened..... *shudder*

(((((Jen))))) then it did work out ok. Sybil did something similar when Mongo was 10 months old and had to have a spinal tap. He wouldn't get off his a$$ to come be with me when that took place. He only had to go about 10 miles. It was more impornatant for him to sit at home and watch TV since it was our last weekend of vacation.

A funny thing happened. . . . cause that's how I roll!!!

Everyone knows I'm a comedian and sarcastic so for me to start off with the line I chose, is not surprising.... if I was married

"Hi, Honey. Could you please pick me up a couple of Monster Thickburgers from Hardee's and a six pack of beer and bring them to me to me in room # _____________ at St. Luke's Hospital?
Thanks, did I ever tell you how much I love you?"
