Who is willing to admit

I will admit this is me.
I do not take being sick very well.

That's funny, I heard a preacher talk about that years ago, a women keeps going, a man gets a cold and he thinks he's dying.
 
All our years milking cows being sick wasn?t optional, we went to the barn and did our chores no matter how sick so long as we were physically capable. Now that we no longer milk we?ll see if the same holds true haha.
 
I remember having a bacterial infection and I was not one to go to a hospital. After a week of that and I did chores, milking included my dad happened to walk in the barn when I was in the fetal position crying from the pain, he went to my wife and told her then I had no choice in the matter. Three days in the hospital was no vacation.
 
Yep, BTDT! Sick or not, it was business as usual on the farm here when we were still milking.

I believe it! I remember giving the cows grain with a broken hand and a rope around my neck as a second hand moving the wheel barrow at 18 ,the day of my first hernia operation I was under the knife at 12 noon and back in the barn milking cows at 5. We do stupid things when we feel like we have no choice.
 
Philip,

Your post reminded me of a life long friend of mine that went nineteen years one time in his life without missing a milking. Died several years ago just several days before turning ninety. Tom
 
When i milked sickness was not a thing i had time for. Untill i was on top of my feed bin checking if i needed to order feed.got dizzy so i put my arms around ladder up on the dome.i have no idea how long i was up there but it passed and i continued.that nite it hit again.woke up in hospital,i had a heart attack.try hiring help around here in missouri when welfare pays good
 
I have been sick enough to take time off but the memory is kind of hazy, been quite a few years.
 
It?s the way of life on just about any farm with livestock. They depend on the owner to make sure they?re taken care of and most times there?s not enough money to have enough help to spot someone off so as long as your able you just keep going no matter what. I guess that?s kind of the nature of the joke that?s the topic of this post. Once we work off farm if we have one or away from the home we have the right to call in sick when we really are sick and get much needed and deserved rest. I?m am very thankful that I?m headed towards that category. The nature of the joke relates to how women are usually the ceo of the household, they normally don?t have enough help and if they?re sick they just put on a smile and suffer through it.
 

Pretty much the opposite here, but I admit a bad chest cold will put me in a really, really foul mood.

All too true.

Got a call one day from some gal trying to sell disability insurance, I was not interested and explained to her that it wouldn't do me any good as we are cattle ranchers.

She was persistent and asked me what would happen for example if I broke a leg.
I replied with well I recon my wife is going to have to run the tractor for a while.

She had no come back after that.

I did break a toe once, my solution was to put a lighter return spring on the clutch pedal on the 970 so I could still drive it.
