It's a proven fact....

Yup, it's a proven fact that my hubby and I are very compatiable. How do I know? Our marriage has been put to the test this last month, as my hubby has been out of work sick since July 16th. At first I thought it would be great having him home and all to myself during the day...then I soon realized it's not "fun" per say..interesting would be a good word to use. lol

I have turned into a taxi driver, therapist, medical transcriptionist, medical translator, and well...a bunch of other things, but those are the major hits. lol I don't mind doing all these things, really, I don't...I actually perfer to be there with hubby during any and all medical visits so I can get the scoop on what they are thinking, saying, and doing. Last week is the prime example of why I should be there with him.....
**Hubby comes out of physical therapy and we go out to the van....as I am driving toward home he says, "My PT says I have ketoneitis"....I mull this over in my head as I KNOW there is no such thing...which is not surprising because if you knew my hubby this would make total sense....you say one thing and he hears another thing..it can be quite funny and frustrating all at the same time...like now. lol I look at him and ask..."WHAT?! No, No, that is NOT what she said..think and think again hun, cuz there is NO such thing." Hubby: "You sure? How do YOU know?" Me: O...M...G...How do I know? WOW...ummmm cuz Im the one holding the degree in Medical Assistanting and I KNOW my med term!" (he almost pissed me off, but its too funny..) Hubby: "OK, well, maybe that wasnt what she said....but I know she said it had something to do with the Ketones in my body, yeah, that I KNOW." Me: "OK, well, no matter what, Im gonna call her when we get home and you no longer get to be alone when she is talking to you about any condition, OK?" Hubby: "Well, she had me rolling around on a ball on the floor.,..I wasn't exactly in the greatest position to go get you..." Me; No response, I was too busy imagining that image. LOL

So, yeah, I now go in with him when he sees his Dr's. lol He can't do too much as he tires out quickly...and to him that seems to mean "push through it harder"....UGH....I have learned over the years to pick my battles with him, like you do a kid. lol I now have a greater appreciation for my work schedule and for work in general. lol This isn't the most amount of time we have ever spent with one another...he was out for 6 months almost with his rotator cuff repair....and then 3 mons with the 2nd one....BUT, this time has different elements involved...and they are a lil bit more stressful issues, but we are working through them together. :) And, he is not drugged up and not easy manipulated like he was with his shoulder repairs. LOL (Sometimes I wish he was....)

Yup...we have both survived this long together and I think we will make it as long as we have to until they send him back to work. lol I still have my moments where I dream of the day he returns to work...kinda like parents dream of the day we send our kids back to school. lol

And, I need to put a shout out to my close girlfriends....Without them I am sure I would have cracked under all the stress just days into this adventure, but they have been there to hold my hand, hand me kleenex to dry my eyes, hug me, listen to me vent and just give all around support to me and my family. And, to my parents, who have been a great help in making sure Kbug had all her school supplies...they just don't know how big of a help and what a load off that was for us. :)

OK......that's it and I know it's been a long one, but at least I made ya laugh. LOL
