Wedded Wednesday: Wife +Sick Hubby =Medical Degree

I posted  last week about my husband being sick. Even though he is feeling better, he went to his doctor to make sure everything was OK. His doctor in-turn referred him to a specialist, to make sure as well. When I asked him what was the specialist going to do, he said " I do not know. Probably just check me out."  That did not sit well with me, so I decided that I needed to attend the appointment with him.

We attended the appointment. He signed in at the front desk and the receptionist asked for the paperwork sent. He of course looked at me......especially since I was the one who fill out the paperwork. I am not sure why I filled out his paperwork, probably because he asked me to, but I never have him fill out my medical paperwork. I digress. We were escorted back to the exam room. The nurse was really nice. As she began to ask for some of the medical information, I found myself answering more of the questions than he was. Maybe I should have been quiet. The doctor eventually came in and began talking to the hubby and once again I found myself answering most of the questions, but the hubby did not stop me.  The doctor tried to elevate some of the discomfort that he was having, but was not able to in the office. The doctor decided that it would be best if we schedule another day for the minor procedure to be completed.

We went to scheduling to schedule the date for the procedure. Once again I was answering the questions and picking the date for the procedure.  Of course the scheduler went over some of the procedure. It took all of 15 minutes and we were out the door. As we were walking to the car, the hubby turns to me and states," Did you get all of that?"  Wow. Really?

I did not know that becoming a wife I would need to become a medical professional as well. I think that it is funny that it seems like I knew more medical information about  my hubby than he did. I guess that I now know that in our family, I will be the medical record keeper to keep us all healthy and well. CHECK. Add another wifey task for Dana.

I think it is very true that as a wife our roles are very extensive! Sounds like you were able to be there for a time when he really needed you! Go wifey!!

I swear sometimes I'm more of a mom than a wife but it goes hand in hand. You did a great job and if he didn't want you answering the questions you would have known. Have a great rest of your week!

Fill in the Blank Friday--Sleep

1.   The last thing I do before going to sleep is         turn on the TV and set the sleep timer . 2.   When I can't sleep I      watch TV until I fall back to sleep   . 3.   The first thing I do when I wake up is     go to the bathroom . 4.   When I'm tired I      can fall asleep anywhere. I have fallen asleep in a folding chair, on a couch , outside, sitting up.....let's say when I am tired, I am tired . 5.   My dream bedroom would be       have lots of white linens and would feel very breezy. It would be filled with antiques and have a large sitting area. It would be shabby chic . 6.   If I could wake up anywhere tomorrow morning it would be        on a porch on a beach house listening to the waves roll in and the feeling the sun rise on my face . 7.   The longest sleep I've ever had was    I a...

Wedded Wednesday: Thanksgiving Traditions

With the holidays coming,  I am thinking about how I want to spend them with the hubby. We do the same thing every year for Thanksgiving and make a road trip to spend it with his family. I usually go shopping on the day after Thanksgiving starting at 3:00am and usually come home and sleep the rest of the day. I was looking at starting some sort of new traditions on the Saturday after Thanksgiving that we can do for years to come. Maybe like putting up the Christmas tree (this is my vote), taking an annual holiday photo, doing some shopping together or maybe doing something relaxing like getting a couples massage. Of course, we will have to throw in some football and lots of left overs whatever we decide to do.Building new traditions, will be the traditions that will continue in our family  and define the holidays for years to come.  Do you have any Thanksgiving traditions?
