HOH FOR SALE!

When I told the Duke yesterday that I was going to do a post labled this, he just laughed his soft deep laugh and said "You go ahead and do that."

I love my hubby, I really do, and I realize that he is just taking care of me, but wow.  All weekend, the only thing I saw was my bed.  That's it.  I was allowed to go to the bathroom.  The BATHROOM! :(

He made all my meals, got everything I wanted, let me watch tv and be on the computer.  But I had to stay in bed. 

And tonight I really wanted five minutes grace on bedtime, but because I'm sick, I'm not going to get it. 

I love my husband, I do... but can someone please make me well again so I'm allowed to start doing stuff again??? ;)

This is all in jest, I know he's just worried, and he loves me, and I would NEVER want to get rid of him. :)  I just... have to remind myself of that sometimes when I am going postal stuck in my room.  ;)

I am on the mend, thank you all for your wonderful emails and comments.  Off to bed I go, have less than a minute to post this. :)  Night. :)

  4. He's so sweet to take care of you like that. I know the feeling when you've been in bed all day and feel like you're going to rot. I hope you're on the mend soon.

  5. Hey Es May...ya better watch out, someone might just take you seriously! LOL So very happy the Duke is taking such good care of you.

    BTW ya little stinker...you know that the best thing you can do when you are sick is to sleep it off. You also know that it is very easy to set yourself back by trying to get up and/or do too much too soon. So just listen to that lovely man of yours! ;)

    Sending lots of prayers and healing energy!

    Hugs and Blessings...

    1. Yeah, I already have some older ladies that fight over him, so I best watch what I say. lol. And, yes, I'll rest up good and not push myself. Not used to being called a stinker, it's what I call the Duke, my cats, and the kids I look after, but not sure I've ever been called it myself. Lol. {{{hugs}}}

  6. Es May, I LOVE the title LoL. Good on the Duke I say! (Sorry:). I'm sorry you are still sick and hope you are feeling better soon.

    I'm glad he is taking such great care of you and being so loving and attentive. It's his job ya know :) ...and he is doing such a fantastic job I would keep him if I were you *wink*. I know it's maddening being stuck in bed, but you do need plenty of rest and to take care of yourself :)

    Hugs,
    Roz

  7. This too shall pass (being sick in bed)! So wonderful that The Duke is on top of your health! I hate staying in bed also (and have been known to cry when sent there when sick lol), but that all changed when I realized that he was doing what he thought was best for me-then I got a warm & fuzzy feeling- sometimes I feel better about going to/staying in bed if my husband comes with me & cuddles awhile, physical touch is my dominant love language & quality time is right behind it so being sent away from him & the kids was making me feel punished initially until I realized that when he is sick he likes to be left alone to sleep if off rather than being petted & cuddled like I prefer....I think it's partially due to how differently we were raised, my mother was touchy feely & his was NOT. Anyhow, embrace the love he is pouring on you, & maybe ask for some cuddle time if you are feeling lonely in that bed....sending you prayers for quick healing!
    Love,
    Scarlet ; )

    1. Isn't it amazing how easy it is to misunderstand each other's point of view??? It amazes me how often I have to wonder if I do that with the Duke, and then find out I have. I am glad that your husband saw your need to be around people, and not left to be so isolated. Thankfully the Duke spent quite a bit of time with me, but not so much that I was smoothered. :)

  8. Feel better Es May!! I know how you feel, I've been sick this past week and sent to bed early every night. I've been less than graceful about it, and he finally had to tell me "I'm not doing this to punish you, you need sleep" and I really did. I'm so glad he there to take care of me, even when I don't want him too...Glad you have Duke taking care of you! Get better already ;)

  10. I understand how you feel. While I love that Steve takes care of me while I'm sick, it starts to wear on me after a day or two. I generally don't mind being told to stay in bed at first because I tend to sleep around the clock when I'm sick. But once I get past that sleeping stage, I want to get up, even if it's just to move to another room and sit back down.

    I guess we should consider ourselves lucky that our guys care like that though. My sister just came through a nasty bout of the flu. Both her and her kids were sick and her husband was a total jerk about it, even complaining because she wouldn't get up and cook his supper.

    1. I know of husbands like hers. :( Even though I really wanted to get up this weekend, I would rather the Duke order me to rest than to selfishly order me about. I am honestly thankful, just had cabin fever, and thankfully every time I talked to him, he said he knew and understood. :)

  12. We know you don't want to sell him - perhaps you could rent him out occasionally when you're feeling like sneaking out and doing something. You know, just for an hour or so. I do hope you're feeling much better soon.

  13. Hi Es May, I'm Autumn--I liked your comment on Quiet Sara's blog (what motives you), and I thought I'd check out yours. My H and I are new to DD, but I've been lurking this community for years. You sound so taken care of! Isn't it lovely to be pampered when you're sick, and, at the same time, so RESTLESS. I can't stand to stay in bed for more than a couple hours on the weekend, so I would probably explode if I stayed in bed all day. I hope you feel better soon!

    1. Hi, Autumn, it is nice to meet you. :). Lol, yeah it was hard to stay in bed, but I had to remember he did it because he loves me and wanted me to get better, and somehow that did make it easier. :). I hope to see you around again. :)

  14. The only thing tougher than being a nurse, is being the patient. I do understand your frustration...so just hurry up and get better! LOL

Please feel free to leave any comments, but I do ask you to be kind. We go into this with eyes wide open after months of prayer, and a peace in our hearts that this is the right choice before God for our marriage. I am open to questions from those who wonder why we made this choice, but I would ask for no personal attacks. Thank you. :)
