I am happy to report that DH is up and moving around a bit tonight. He even came out to join the family in the nightly chicken watching. The kids trampoline and tether ball are right next to our chicken run and they play out there every night while DH and I join in or just sit and watch the chickens.

I DO adore my DH. I just dont have time to wait on him hand and foot. But then, he would never in a million years expect me to. I am so happy he is feeling better!

He's kind of pathetic when he's sick!

I love my DH more than life itself. I wish it had been me instead of him in that hospital bed for eight days. I betcha the nurses wished it had been me too. I would have just slept until I was better, not whined about everything; from the IV to the hardness of the bed. Nor would I have felt compelled to give everyone that entered the room a very graphic and precise description of my diarrhea.

ok ok, Here's a guy confession. When I am truely sick, I am a big baby. I hardly ever get sick, and take care of everyone else when they are...... pick up my GD from daycare when she is sick...... but in the off chance I get it....

O the world ends. The wife has to get me the right juice, the remote and remind me to eat.

Then again, my wife takes great care of me in general. I fell asleep yesterday watching my football game and came out to the kitchen to see what the smell was. Wife was ready..... Taco salad perfectly made and a Budweiser was in her other hand.

I love being a guy sometimes. I love having a wife who understands that under our gruff and grouchy exterior we like being taken care of on occasion.

I read through all of these posts and I'm sure that many men are big babies when it comes to being sick, but there are just as many of us who refuse to admit to being sick. I hate being sick or injured because it keeps me from doing all I need or want to do.
Sometimes you beautiful ladies aren't exactly what one could call a ray of sunshine. I had thought that because of the age difference between my dear SO and I that I might not have to hear mention of that dreaded phrase "change of life". Wrong. Some days the mood swings and attitudes are very tough to deal with. I keep trying to be supportive and understanding, hoping to see a "change of attitude" so I can quit thinking about "change of address". However, even with all the ups and downs that comes with having someone in your life it still beats the alternative.

I have been with my DG for 43 years total, and during that time he has had some very serious illnesses and injuries and now is disabled due to diabetes and all the complications. He is doing MUCH better now, thanks to good spec., and medicines on the market. BUT, if he has hurting back it is something out of a screeching horror movie. I can't help but roll my eyes when he gets in and out of my little Honda, its soooooooooo excruciating and the ooh and the aah is almost too much to take. If his shoulder is stiff, the moaning and the groaning that goes along with the stretching and "working" it is something akin to "Night of the Living Dead." I seriously could be bleeding out my eyeballs and as long as I can walk and talk I am OK!!! Men, gotta love em'.
Or, as I heard many many times from every type of woman out there, "Men! Can't live with them, can't live without them!!" And, yes guys, I know you heard the same thing from your menfolk in your family about women!!! Door swings both ways on this one!!

My sister's line for this was, don't be a pill, take one. She had her moments.

I agree with Opa LOL!

When my hubby gets sick or badly injured, he can be a big baby but he keeps himself to a minimum. When he is sick, he asked to be alone and asked very little like some juice or water and leave him alone when he has his flu. That I do not mind at all and gives me some quiet time to myself. When his knees is killing him, then the groans and moans and jerking, boy he can really do some somersaults to drive me up the wall. When I tell him to get an asprin or pain killer, nope, dont need that. So I tell him to deal with it the best way he knows or go to the doctor. He waits a good while before he muster enough strength to go to doctor and gets treated.

Believe me, he puts up with ME more when I am down and in pain or moody or being a real b*****. So in that case, we are alike in alot of ways.
