My Soldier was injured in Iraq...now....I am so confused..?
Ok...So my boyfriend was in Iraq. He volunteered for a mission and was helping his buddy load his truck. A connex fell on his arm smashing it and breaking all the bones in his hand and forearm...so he was flown out to Germany and had some surgeries there and then they sent him to TX to some specialists....His room mate wrote me on myspace to let me know what happened and my bf called me the next day to make sure i knew since he hadnt talked to his room mate..he was in a lot of pain...obviously. But anyway its been about a week since the whole thing happened and i have talked to him twice in that entire time...the second time mainly because his nurse in germany said he wouldnt stop talkin about me so she helped him get my number off his yahoo where he had it saved and gave him a phone to call me...he told me he was thinkin he was going to be addicted to pain meds after he got home and he just kept saying my arm is destroyed...and baby i miss you...he promised to call me the next day when he left germany and when he got to tx this was last thursday..and i havent heard from him since.... Our relationship is still pretty new.....but we did seem to have a bond..i know hes going to call me eventually but I am having such a hard time understanding and coping right now...I miss him so much..i hope hes doing alright and i dont understand how he could tell me he was going to call me 4 days ago and i havent heard from him since when he knows how worried i am.... For some reason..I his ex of 8 years seems to be tryin to get back in his life and i feel like a trauma like this might make him go back to something from his past...I dont know mayb he hasnt called cause hes so drugged up..i dont know i have never been on pain meds before...i think hes on morphine too..but can someone help me i am so stressed i miss him so much and things were going so good.....he always told me he would wait forever for me..and i certainly can wait for him..but i just want to understand..can meds really make you that out of it that you forget to do something you say to someone you care about...and also i have never broken a bone...i was wondering how painful what hes going thru might be..they said it would have been better had he lost his arm completely... Thanks people sorry its so long!

See if you can get in touch with the hospital he's in to speak to him. Contact someone in his unit to see if they know the number.

well i would suggest waiting for him to contact u ; unless u know w here he is at and u can call him. i deal with people all the time who are hooked on pain meds and its not a good thing ;so just wait it out

If he's on lots on drugs for pain, he probably forgot to call you. Morphine does that to you. He'll call you eventually.. don't worry.

you be there for him no matter what! i don't care how new the relationship is or how long it takes him to call you or what reason he has for not calling sooner. don't get mad, don't argue, don't make him feel bad in any way. just support him however you can and let him know you are there when he needs you. this is a very tough situation for him. you guys may not end up being together forever but you never know what will happen to him tomorrow and he needs you to care.

wow well try to understand I mean he must be really drugged right now because of all the pain.. or maybe he just hasnt been able to get a phone.. which could be a strong possibility, calm down, try to relax, but try to call him. look for him, and dont let his ex get back into his life! if you love him fight for him girl! and most importantly give him allll the love and support! he will really needed! believe me its not a nice feeling to broke a bones.... and it must be HORRIBLE to broke ur bones like he did! so yea be patient, caring and lovin.. if ya havent know anything from him in the past 4 days, theyn YOU look for him!

well, with the military it is hard to call each day and if he is in trauma he may not be able to call you. just be strong. things will work out. just email him and let him know that you are thinking about him and miss him dearly. if able, get in contact with his roommate and have him try and get a message to your man. best of luck.

don't worry he will call you he is just going through allot and being on meds he isn't himself just be patient and try to understand what he's going through and i really don't think he'll go back to his ex she's an ex for a reason especially since he said he would wait forever for you when he calls just tell him how you feel that you miss him and you will be there for him and everything will work out just fine
