Thank You.
February 24, 2007I rarely get sick, save for the occasional headache, so it was a big deal for me that I had to stay in bed 80% of the time yesterday.
Also, I am not used to people fussing over me when I do get sick. But there they were, our couple friend, staying over for the night because they were extremely worried about me. They were just planning to watch a couple of DVD's (our home has become their movie theater), have dinner, and drive home. But seeing as the husband had to go to work, that I was too weak and dizzy to even finish my favorite TV show Grey's Anatomy, and that I was too nauseous I couldn't even eat dinner, they opted to stay — just in case I needed to be brought to the emergency room in the middle of the night.
Such a sweet gesture, really. The wife-friend, B, even offered to give me a massage, which I kindly refused. I have become so self-reliant I've forgotten how nice it is to just relax and have people take care of me. I don't know where this comes from, as back home, I've always had people around me when I got sick. Maybe as we grow older, we think ourselves more and more capable of taking care of ourselves, of being invincible even. And God knows I've grown up a lot since we got here and made a life for ourselves.
For all my insistence that I would be fine (Go on you two, go home… I'm okay, really), it was comforting to know that there were two people in the next room that I could count on to help me get through the night.
Thank you, B and A, my night shift nurses. And hello, dear husband, my morning shift nurse. (Yes, all three of them are, incidentally, nurses.)

tiris, i never liked taylor hicks, right from the start. that whole soul patrol thing was just silly. no offense to his fans. katherine was the whole package. and i think she’s making the rounds of hollywood already.
