The husband has been suffering from a severe case of kidney stones and has been in and out of hospital. He was sent home on ‘pain management’ which included ginormous amounts of Vicodin and Percocet. And because my husband is a super human- he has managed to still show up for work most of the week as well.(sure that made for some interesting board meetings…) The upside to all of this (lets get back to ME okay?) is that The Husband has been really really nice this week. Not that he is ever mean, but he does have a huge amount of stress and worry (work, economy, food, shelter etc) and it has really been effecting his demeanor lately. SO this little week was a drug-induced stress vacation of sorts. He was stress free. Pain free. And really very grateful for my nursing skills (I have mad skillz yo). My favorite moment? When he suggested we make our ‘Bucket Lists’ together while sitting in the hospital listening to the guy in the next bed cough up a lung. Maybe not your idea of romantic….but for me, it was perfect. Today he is scheduled for a surgery/procedure to zap those pesky kidney stones. He is nervous (never even been admitted to a hospital until this week) but brave. He keeps joking about his life insurance policies and how happy I will be if he dies (what you don’t joke about death in your house?)….and we laugh about it. But I adore him. And I can tell he adores me too. I can’t wait till these stone are gone and we can start working on checking things off our bucket lists together.
(Photo Note: Yup that’s me and The Husband. Taken at our SECOND wedding reception. We had two. In two different states. Cuz we were really happy about getting married. And we both love an open bar.)
