The world stops spinning. My mild mannered sweetheart turns into ...something from a sci fi move.
really. Men could never survive what women have to go through. Last cold I locked him in the bedroom and told him he can't leave or interact with the healthy members of the family until I said so. so yea, he had his man cold in a man cave...all by his grumpiness.
And, this is a man who can rip, tear, burn, scrape, and break things off of his body while working and doesn't even notice that pieces are missing. But a 'COLD'...
Now I'm feeling lucky. When my DH is sick? He just gets quiet. Doesn't complain unless something REALLY gets to him. He waits until TOO late sometimes!
Last time he complained? A year ago, when he told me to call an ambulance, after 2 days of not feeling well, very quietly. Turns out his gall bladder was not only toast, but had gone toxic.
