Well, you could try throwing a leg over him. Might lead to other things and you could "fool" him into taking the meds his poor body needs? Just a thought...

Trish

I can sympathize with you. My DH won't even go to a Dr. and Hates all pills, but he doesn't have to go anywhere either. Do a bit of begging, maybe that will help. Hard headed MEN!

Hi trishaw!
Nice to see you.

He's too sick for playing let's throw our legs over each other and that's pretty sick; not only for him but for most males.
If I did he'd just lay there and moan 'are you out of your mind?'

LOL

Good thought though.
I might try it later....just to torment him.

Nah.

I'll wait a few days for those worthless antibiotics to kick in (which he WILL take if I have to grind them up and put them in his coffee) then throw a leg.

Good suggestion though!

Lori

I like the idea of grinding it up and putting in his coffee! The cough syrup could be passed off as a great new creamer you thought he should try. Oh yuck, that would just ruin a fine cup of joe. I wish you luck- my DH is pretty good about medication for the most part. As long as I remind him to take it!
Trish

Lori,

A friend of ours lost his 42-year old brother last week to the flu. The guy had a doctor's appointment, but he died before getting there.

Also, an OU student died from Tylenol overdose last week. Acetiminophin (sp?) is in SOOOO many OTC products.

Please watch your DH carefully.

My 'cold' turned into pneumonia. So did my sisters, and she almost died. She was in the hospital for 10 days then when she did get out, she had to continue going every day, Sat. and Sun. too, for 10 days to get an infusion of antibiotics. She can't be around crowds, or her grandson who's 3. She must wear a mask if she like goes to the store, or something. She just sends her husband.
So, make sure he follows Dr. advice. It is a killer flu going around.

Is he working with others? If so, perhaps you could convince him that it really is not fair to expose others to his illness.
Is he driving like this? If so, perhpas you could convince him that he is risking his safety as well as the safety of everyone else on the road.
Best of luck, sounds like you have probably already tried everything. I hope he stays home to recover.

Hide his pills in a piece of hot dog, Lori. Hey, it just might work! lol Poor Custer, poor you! I hope he stays home, too, but since he won't, all you can do is your best. Men. I remember the Pamprin incident. He hasn't changed, has he? :)

Main Man has needed to go to the Doctor for several reason's lately. But, of course he refuses.

His Prescriptions run out this month and he is required to go in. He hasn't even found a Doctor in the area since he moved here.

Men. Mine swears by tylenol and cold medication at night but not while driving. Is it just me or do they love the attention? DH will sneeze about 3 times and has to say a cold is next - oh pllllwwwweeeezzzeeeee. Sometimes he even rolls his eyes and sighs at me afterwards - my fiddle plays for him between my thumb and finger.
Why is it when woman get sick, even though they care immensely, it's never enough to do the dishes?

I get the feeling as hard-headed as he is, you kinda like him that way-LOL! Just make sure he takes all his antibiotics, tell him if he doesn't he's helping create those superbugs that kill people.

I LOL'd @ Flamey! Hey, it works to fool my dog! It might work for my DH too!
I wish I knew WHY in the heck men are so stubborn!!!!! They will be on their death bed before they go to the doc! My DH hates taking pills and is convinced they are causing more problems than their worht. Which I realize some do but for pete's sake, TAKE the dang things, then you can complain when you're feeling better!

Good Luck Lori! Its a losing battle here! LOL

Hope Custer feels better fast!

I'd start telling him what I'm looking for in my NEXT husband since he is so determined to kill himself!! Maybe if you asked him to behave for YOU and that it would make YOU feel better if he did what he was told?

Hey Lori, you're in the cow business. Just run him down the chute and use the drench gun and bolus gun to give him his meds or just give him about 10 cc's of PenStrep or Lincomycin and he'll be just fine.
MH

Yeah, I endorse the pills in the hot dog or you might wrap them in a piece of cheese if he's more into dairy. LOL

I'm so sorry Custer is ailing Lori. Especially since you can't get him to take care of himself. Respiratory infections are nothing to take lightly because they can and do turn into p'monie if not watched or treated. I hope he gets better VERY soon. Like tomorrow if he's insisting on going to work. ugh!!!

I'm sorry, but the hotdog and cheese comments made me snort and scare the dog LOLOLOL.

LMBO @ wireweiners!
