So About That Whole "In Sickness and in Health" Thing...

Dom and I aren't getting married until next summer, but this past week we got to experience the "in sickness" part of our future vows for the first time.  Thankfully, even though we have lived together for almost two years, Dom has never really seen me get too sick.  I must say, love and engagement is an extremely humbling thing.  Here is the person you want to find you attractive forever, but when you're in pain you still need them by your side.  All I wanted to do was shut the door (literally) and let him pretend that all was fine, but in the end the person you're spending the rest of your life with is there to love you unconditionally, and that's pretty awesome.

{Mmm pale with no sleep or make-up. Bow chica-wow-wow!}

If you're lucky, they may even help you tie your hair up when you only have one arm thanks to an IV and you're convinced that medicine they just gave you is on it's way back up.  I don't think anything could have made me laugh in that moment except Dom's attempt to be fancy and give me a messy bun! Haha :)  It sadly was en epic fail but I'm glad it was me and I now have a chance to train him before any little girls come along.

Not to give any gruesome details, but for the past week I've been suffering from a bad case of esophagitis that will not go away!  I've been in excruciating pain (seriously, you know those moments when you're scared you're doing to die and then the next minute you're scared you won't?  It's been like that), and went 4 days without being able to eat or drink anything.  Two trips to the ER later I have my own personal little pharmacy and I am finally able to eat food again.  I even have a little baby syringe to shoot up lidocaine and numb my esophagus before I eat!  I'm hoping this approach will help me heal so I can get on the plane to Puerto Rico on Wednesday.  I mean, my throat will hurt just as much in Hunker as it will on the beach, right? ;)

Anywho, back to the point.  Love is easy when everything is easy, but I think love really shows through when things are rough.  Dom has two huge finals next week but didn't hesitate to take me to the ER or just sit and hold my hand when the pain was really bad.  He does, however, have a habit of taking my picture when I'm looking extra sexy and sending it to our families, but after the initial trauma everyone's reactions always make me laugh!

Dom isn't the wait-on-you-hand-and-foot type, and never will be, and I think a huge part of relationships and marriage is figuring out how each of you works and adapting.  Dom's a guy and just wants to fix things.  He knows it's (I think) impossible to die from esophagitis but I was convinced this was the end and I was never getting better.  Sometimes practicality and textbook definitions just don't calm me down when I'm hurting and scared.  He has realized that my irrational fears need tending to and I realize that his bluntness is just him being a guy and a future doctor.   Sometimes, I just want him in the same room with him to feel better.  It might seem strange to him that I want to come in and nap in his study while he works because I feel better with him there, but it works for me!  Now he is sure to come give me hugs, kisses, and snuggles even if they won't cure me but they'll make me feel better.  He has been my rock through this whole week and I'm so thankful! It's a whole learning process and I'm so glad we have this time together.

We sure spend a lot of time in life and on this blog focusing on the "for better" but I love that I know I have a partner for the "for worse" too.

  2. Oh girl! My husband had that a few years ago, and it really is awful! I'm so sorry you got it, but it's so nice to hear how Dom has been so supportive of you! Hope you start making big improvements and feeling much better. But yes, your throat will still hurt at home or on vacay, so you might as well go on vacay, right?!

  3. I'm so sorry to hear how sick you have been. Thank goodness for a man that picks up on the little things that make you feel better. I get you on the being in the same room thing. There's just something about Pat's presence that always makes me feel better when I'm sick. I'll be praying for you.

  5. Sorry you've been sick. But you're right, they have to be able to be there for the sickness & the "worse" & adapting and learning sure is something that has to happen. But once you kind of learn each others ways it sure is easier. :-) I hope you get to feeling better soon!!

  9. I hope you feel better soon! I think the best line of the whole post is about how the engagement time is such a humbling place to be. I could not agree more! The first time I got sick from gluten, I was a hot mess. And you know how ugly that can be... Dane was right by my side, doing the same as Dom (tying up the hair!) and helping me with whatever I needed. We are lucky to have such amazing men :)

  11. I think you really learn about your partner and your relationship in the "in bad" and "in sickness" parts. I come with a lot of medical baggage and sadly Nick has to see a lot of the sickness side seeing as I have so many complications. But he holds me, is always optimistic (even when things are in the unknown like right now), and gives me the reassurance I need to keep pushing forward. They're there to make us better but to also carry us in those weak moments. I'm glad you have a guy like Dom to help you out :) Sadly, too many guys run or aren't supportive in those times. I met a girl two weeks ago who said her husband LEFT her when she was diagnosed with cancer because it was "just too much." What.the.crap. Major douche!

  14. oh my goodness i'm so sorry you've been so sick. but isn't it a wonderful feeling to have someone there for you that will care for you? ps you are too pretty even sick!

  15. Bah sorry you've been sick!! :( But I'm glad you have Dom there to help you feel better!

  23. Been a HIV positive is just like been through hell but EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE. So amazing and i want to testify of the good work done by GREAT BABA a very strong and powerful spell caster. GREAT BABA has proved science and scientists wrong for believing and thinking that there is no cure for HIV AIDS but to be sincere this GREAT MAN is so real and powerful. I never thought that this spell will work but this GREAT MAN has proved it to me and it has worked and still working perfectly. My Name is Randy Scott and i was diagnosed of the deadly disease called HIV AIDS in 2011 and i thought that is the end and there will be no hope. Speaking to anyone was always a problem because i was so worried and always in the state of unrest in fact i thought it was over until one blessed day when i was searching for help here on the internet, i came across a testimony about GREAT BABA on how he helped a lady who was HIV positive. At first i thought it was all a lie but i decided to give it a try since there was no option and, when i contacted this MAN he laughed and told me that, that is too small for him to handle but i was still in doubt, and he gave me a form to fill which I did, then he called me and told me that his gods required some items in which he will use in casting a curing spell on me and he told me that it will cost only $500, I sent him the money because I could not find the items. He bought the items and prepared a cure for me, and instructed me on what to do and i OBEYED him completely as he told me. Then he sent a parcel to me through the courier delivery service. I paid for the courier service, I got my parcel, it was a holy water and a pure holy oil as described by GREAT BABA. I took the holy water and the holy oil and after taking it, he told me to go for check up but I was still in doubt and was so afraid to go for the test but i took a bold step and believed that it is well, and i believed all what he has done and all that he has told me. So i went to the hospital for the test it was so amazing, awesome and exciting what seems to be impossible became possible, the VIRUS disappeared completely from my system and I was tested HIV negative. Quickly I called him and told him what happened he congratulated me and today i am a happy man again the way things use to be. Don't you think that this testimony is worth sharing? I promise to tell the world about him and i will keep sharing this testimony till the end because many people has died of AIDS and i want many people who believed that it is over to know that EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE AND I WANT THEM TO GET HELP FROM THIS SPELL CASTER by contacting him on his email at Highersolutiontemple@yahoo.com for your solution now. If you are hiv positive and you think that it is over i want to tell you that there is hope for you and if you truly and dearly value your life please contact him now. THIS IS REAL HE IS NOT A SCAM, BELIEVE HIM AND DON'T ASK TOO MUCH QUESTIONS. Thank you GREAT BABA and May your good gods keep rewarding you for your good deeds.
