I have the most incredible boyfriend. He has been really astounding for the past 2 and a half weeks and deserves heaploads of praise. So here it goes:
1. Thank you for letting me have the surgery. I know it wasn't easy. And I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted. Thank you for letting me figure out what I wanted.
2. Thank you for taking the pre-op pictures and then hiding them away. Enough said.
3. Thank you for holding my hand in the pre-op room while dr. death tried in vain to find a vein. I think I would have fainted without your support.
4. Thank you for the smile when I saw you in my hospital room. Thank you for Puppy-bear. He's the softest most comforting stuffed animal ever.
5. Thank you for coming back late that night, and being with me (even though I wasn't really mentally all there). For making sure the questions got answered, and for making me feel better when I felt like shit.
6. Thank you for all of the welcome home decorations. They were phenomenal and helped me each day. They made me feel extra special. Thanks also for the paints. I know I've thanked you for this already, but it bears repeating that you know me so well - that you would think of something so sweet.
7. Thank you for all of the "Sweetie, can you get this" wish fufillments. They are too numerous to list here, but I won't forget them.
8. Thanks for making all the meals (especially the pancakes!) and catering to my odd palette.
9. Thanks for taking on all the extra chores during my recovery. You had the right to complain a whole hell of a lot - but you didn't. And I appreciate that even more.
10. Thanks for getting me out of the house, and making me walk around malls. I could spend hours just holding your hand, dorking around Dick's Sportign Goods and being happy. Dreaming about the day when they open our extra big H&M.
11. Thank you for always being concerned about how I was doing - making me tell you what my temperature was, calling the doctors when I didn't want to, and then taking me to the hosptial every other day to make sure things were ok. Your propensity for thoughtfulness and love inspires me.
12. Thank you for making me laugh (but not too much). For putting up with more episodes of the Gilmore Girls then you ever ever needed to.
13. Thanks for inspecting the scar each day, even when it was gross and icky.
14. Thank you for sacrificing in the bedroom. It was so hard not to be able to snuggle up in your shoulder. I will appreciate it even more when I can again.
15. Thanks for your patience. For your love. For your care-giving.
You are a wonderfully terrific human being, and I feel so lucky to be with you.
