Yes, I'm back! Let me tell you, what a crazy/interesting time these past two weeks have been!
Three weeks ago, Dan had some back pain. It's something he has occasionally but typically it goes away on it's own. Four days later however it got worse and he couldn't even get himself up from bed. So off to the ER we went and luckily it was not a big deal. Something that could have been prevented had he acquiesced to my invitations of going to the gym, a bike ride or yoga.
I learned a thing or two (or three) about myself during this period. I am definitely a bit more selfish and HELLA lazy. Before we had gone to the ER, I would make Dan try to get up off the bed himself. I did not get up (nor did I want too as it was often at 2:00am and sleep is very precious to me) and would often mumble words of support. Once he's got himself up to sitting, or he's been groaning for what seemed like forever, then I would get up and help. I even laughed at one point. Yes, I am mean but I honestly thought Dan was just exaggerating. My logic in that whole spectacle was that he had to overcome the pain, and not to give in -which sure enough was supported by the ER doctor and the chiropractor. Nevertheless, we got through that.
The following week however, something else was bothering Dan. I had just gotten back from a trip to San Diego to see my friends and he never said anything while I was away. So off to the ER we went again. Thankfully another easy fix (not the fix I would go for but that's a whinge for another day) and currently Dan is on the mend.
Both issues have been address, yay and hopefully nothing else will come up from now on. Our conversation these days, or rather, my sentences to him these days often begin with, "You're getting old..." Yes, yes, I know, MEAN! But if you're body is breaking down, you gotta do something about it. I think anything else, whether being too busy, or whatever is just an excuse.
You won't see me crying like a baby when I have an awful migraine and I still do chores when I have a fever. Maybe it's just that men are such babies.
So how's everyone been?
