We’ve been married for 26 years…through thick and thin, riches and poverty and riches again. He is my best friend and we laugh more then we fight (which for me is a hugely important thing) but he turns into a complete idiot when I’m sick. I’d blame it on the fact that he’s a guitar player but then I’d have to go into an entire litany of guitar player jokes and nobody really wants me to go there. ;)
Useless comes to mind. Love him…. crazy about him, but he’s useless when it comes to illness and here I am with one that isn’t planning on going away.
When I ended up in the hospital a few years ago due to a grumpy gallbladder (had to have it removed, stuck in the hospital for 4 days) Mister Man came to see me twice…. each time he lasted maybe ten minutes before he would get uncomfortable and restless and well just down right annoying. My daughter told me later that he sat with me after the surgery and that he looked pale and scared so I went easy on him.
When I was diagnosed with thyroid disease it became an unspoken ‘thing’ between us. He knew I was taking medicine for it but it just wasn’t something he had to deal with day in and day out.
When the diabetes diagnoses hit me out of the blue and I started testing obsessively it really wasn’t something he could ignore. It was in his face…there were strange medicines sharing cabinet space with his shaving cream and toothbrush. There were boxes of lancets and test strips and then of course there was little ol’ me announcing my BG levels every five minutes…kind of hard to ignore that. BUT HE TRIES…. bless his pea pickin’ little heart. He signs deeply at the mere mention of the ‘D’ word…. his eyes roll back in his head ever so slightly and this glazed look flushes across his face.
He loves me…. I’m certain of that. He’s just not going to ever be able to deal with my diabetes. Of course that doesn’t mean I’m planning on suffering alone…oh hell no. The medicines stay next to his razors, the meter lives on the nightstand, I’ll continue to test within eye shot…and he’ll learn to live with the dreaded ‘D’ because I’ll have to learn to live with it.
Bless his pea pickin’ little heart.
OH…I now have a ‘stop smoking’ buddy! George! Thanks George what a great idea…Go here pat him on the back and encourage him along in his non-smoking ways.
