We must be patient.
This process, recovering from a ruptured appendix, will be longer and harder than we thought. We underestimated what recovery would look like. My strong, hard, even-tempered, muscular, sexy, beast of a man has been in a lot of pain. During the ten years I’ve known him I’ve never seen him like this. It’s sort of a weird, unknown territory actually. I don’t like it.
He’s different. And he knows it.
It’s the pain. It’s the medicine. And I know that.
Doesn’t make it any easier.
But, in sickness and in health! Emphasis on sickness. That’s when you get to see what your marriage is really made of, am I right?
Currently, my marriage is made of cold water and antibiotics, yogurt and probiotics, soup and cut up chicken, hugs and lots of kisses.
And a whole lot of patience.

Stay strong. This too shall pass. Men are big babies when ill. Treat him like you would Maddie. 🙂 Love your guys!!!!
Love, love, love it!! I feel like such a stalker commenting on so many of these, but that is some good writing!! You and your man will be fine. You're a great nurturer and now that he needs you more than ever, I know you're stepping up to the plate like you should be! Don't forget to take care of you too!!
