My lack of sympathy MIGHT be due to the fact that I'm pregnant.
Maybe.
There is a chance of that being the case.

| Last picture with glasses |
Steve had laser eye surgery yesterday and is loaded up with a bag of drops and ointments and pills to "get him through." I can't even watch him put contact lenses into his eyes without mine watering up, so I honestly can't imagine anything like eye SURGERY, but some part of me still finds it entertaining that all of THIS is required for two little ol' eyes...
I also find it a little laughable that he gets five days off to lie around in bed, taking narcotic pain killers for eye pain, when I will birth a child through my nether regions (with NO narcotics) and then be expected to get up around the clock immediately after to allow the scream-y person to bite my most sensitive area repeatedly in order to keep him/her alive (again, with no narcotic assistance). Sounds totally fair.
This evens the playing field quite a bit in my mind though.

| Sam is clearly embarrassed.. "Dad! Omg. What if my playground friends see me with you looking like this?? I am so annoyed at this whole situation. Mom, quit taking pictures already, for the LOVE." |
Someone only had prescription sunglasses so he had to borrow mine for the drive home.

| He looks *FABULOUS* doesn't he? |
The looks we got from the soldiers at the gate... that was pretty priceless. Is it me, or are men kind of like the fairer sex when it comes to dealing with pain?
*I took vows that included loving my husband "in sickness and in health" so fear not, I am taking care of my stud muffin. Don't go all Jerry Springer on me like I'm just sitting around laughing at his pain. I mean, I might be laughing, but not to his face.*
Men suck at handling pain!
ReplyDeleteAmen.
DeleteOh, my husband is the WORST patient. Ever. The last time he had a cold you would have thought the plague had entered his system. Hope your hubby feels well enough to pitch in while recuperating!
ReplyDeleteMe too! I think there is a VERY SPECIFIC REASON why God chose women to carry and birth babies... ;)
DeleteLol. That is why I couldn't be a nurse either. I have compassion, sympathy and all that but to care for someone hurt, I blank out and am useless. My husband had eye surgery too a few years ago and he said it did hurt so I guess those narcotics really do help. Good luck and hope he has a speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteJudging by his behavior this morning, he IS in some pain. So I'm hoping the rest and painkillers do their job and get him back to normal! :)
DeleteBest. Milspouse. Blog. Quote. EVER.

Thanks for the LOLs girl! Hope your hubby feels better soon, but not so soon that you can't post more funny stories and/or pics about it. :-p
LOL I feel (slightly) bad that I made it sound like he's a total whuss, but when I compare eye surgery to childbirth (and breastfeeding! Gah!), I can't help but get a little sarcastic... ;) haha
DeleteWHOA at the medicine cabinet you've got there. Good grief. Who knew? The sunglasses are quite funny :)
ReplyDeleteIt's quite an impressive arsenal, huh? I had to go get him "man sunglasses" today. I guess he was tired of the funny looks... ;) lol

ReplyDeleteLOL This is SO true! We don't even get to rest. They come out wanting to eat!
My husband is pretty good about pain and stuff but I know that is rare for a man.
You caught a rare bird in that your husband can handle pain! Nice!
DeleteSteve also thinks that since I appeared so calm and collected during Sam's birth, that any woman who is screaming or in pain during L&D, is "dramatic." Really? Because the last time I checked, pooping a watermelon is not the most fun you're gonna have in your life. I have to remind him that not everyone has the same experience that I had, so um, CUT SOME SLACK. Birthing babies is no joke, man.
HAHA I know the feeling, my hubby is sick right now and I swear the world is coming to an end! It's just the sniffles, get over it already and hold your screaming child, lol.
ReplyDeleteHope he feels better soon! I am STILL eagarly awaiting the arrival of your new little one :)
Ha! Funny! Second Baby should be here in a few weeks! Stay tuned! ;) lol
