Sick and pathetic!

March 8, 2011

                After two weekend days spent on the couch or in bed and now two sick days from school, I think I’m finally feeling somewhat human again.  The sinus infection I got last week somehow mutated into a nasty monster of sickness.  I have to wonder at the timing I have.  The week off between classes I was finally recovering from the strep throat I got mid-February.  Then, class began again, and this sinus infection descended upon me.  Stress and fatigue are sickness’ best friends.  I am hoping I really do start to feel better, otherwise it might be difficult to enjoy the wedding this weekend.

 So this isn’t just an opportunity for me to whine about how sick I’ve been.  Rather, I’d like to brag a little.  My husband has been so fabulous to me over the last few days.  This weekend, even though he was working, he took over the laundry and did it all.  He’s brought me medicine, water, and whatever food I’ve attempted to get down.  Last night, he worked an overnight shift, getting home at 4:30 a.m.  This morning, I intended to go to school, but when I was in the shower, got very dizzy and felt like I was going to pass out.  Jeremy got up and took me to school at 6:57 a.m. so that I could make substitute plans for the day.  When we got home, we slept for a while and then Jeremy once again, put his sleep aside to take me to the doctor. 

He’s now back at work, about to come home for his lunch break, and, for the 5^th or so day in a row, wifey doesn’t have dinner ready like normal.  So even though I’ve been miserable lately, there’s someone else who has suffered a bit.  Hubby Dear?  “Sorry” and “Thank you”.  You’re proving those “in sickness” words.
