I Love My Husband

My good hearted loving man is experiencing . . being down and out!
First his adored dog, Button passed away.
Then his stool test showed signs of cancer.. maybe... He goes for his .. check-in with the doctor who is giving him his colonoscope, this Monday.
Last Monday I asked him to help me with moving the bed. The dust bunnies were eating the dead ladybugs. OMG!
So, unknown to me he jumps right at it! It's a heavy bed!! All I needed was to get the headboard further away from wall so I could vacuum. He moved the whole bed out and about! Bless his heart!
Well, that put a whammy on his back to say the least. He complained but went the next morning to the feed store. Came home with hundreds of pounds of bird seed, corn for the deer and coal. Truck was loaded and by the time my good hearted, hard working, hard headed man was done. That was all his back wrote!
Since Tuesday he hasn't moved much. Been in and out of bed. I have applied cold and hot packs to his back. But he isn't getting well fast enough for his likings.

It bothers me to see him down and out. He is a proud man, worked hard all his life, worked out at the gym every single day and ran marathons, even rode his bike to work for 30 years. A healthy man.

This past week, I see it in his eyes. He feels … old. Nothing has ever brought him to a stop.
He worries over me as I hold down the fort. He worries over getting behind on wood. And me keeping the fire burning. He hates for me to wait on him.

I love my husband! We are good partners in life to each other.
I told him... I got your back darling! ;-)
He smiled from ear to ear!

@Echoing Sounds like another guy I know, your husbands age that had to go to hospital recently.
@Echoing yep! Haha...🙂

At the end of the day.. that's all that counts.
Marry your best friend.. you'll always have someone to have your back.

You have my prayers..

@Wol62 nope, he hasn't been to a hospital in a long time... unless you count a animal hospital.
