Marriage Reality
Real love is standing in our kitchen filling syringes of medicine for my PICC line, cleaning up the dinner he made, getting our son in the bathtub, carrying laundry baskets upstairs to fold and put away, while I sit in the recliner coming up with more things for him to do.
After he finishes that, there is some orange puke to clean up (nasty antibiotic medicine) in the bathroom with some Clorox cleaning wipes. Thank God I choose to enter marriage with this partner and said yes.
When I told him I had arm hair growing his reply was, “I don’t think you smell that bad.” That’s reality.
Check out that sexy leg Emily. *chuckle*
At least it is marked ‘yes’ so the doctors knew which one to preform surgery.
Hope you are feeling better! How long do you have to have the PICC line?
Yes, in all it’s sexy glory!! I love when they mark “yes” on my limbs.
Last I heard was until Feb. 11th…but I see the infectious disease doc next week for a follow-up. There is always the chance (pray!) that they’ll shorten it. But then again, they could always lengthen it too I guess.
You shaved….! for us??
Your husband is awesome. I’m so glad you’re in good hands!
You have a really good egg. I am glad that you are at least feeling better to be able to tell the good egg what needs to be done. Here’s hoping your back dancing soon.
That is so sweet.
Oh, Emily.
I’m so sorry to read about what you’ve been going through. And I understand, at least a little. After surgery on my fractured leg (11 screwa, 2 plates), I was told that it looked like I might have MRSA. Thankfully, it was just a “regular” staph infection (snort), and IV antibiotics did the trick.
But the idea of it — while it seemed a reality — was really frightening.
I’m hoping that each day you’re more and more on the mend.
And yep, you’ve got a good man there.
xxoo
Uh, that should have been screws, not screwa, LOL!
To me, successful marriages/families are about insuring each other feels rewarded….and with that, you guys are certainly successful. Thanks for sharing. I have a spouse like that and I am one lucky duck too… Happy healing.
He is a true gem.
I hope you’re feeling better soon! And yep, sounds like you married a keeper. A girl friend I have always says… True love means doing the dishes. Fits here too.
Gosh, I hope those antibiotics get right to work!
I too am blessed with a husband like that, I feel so fortunate that he loves me too. Bless you guys.
