Thank You.

February 24, 2007

I 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.)
