I think if we need to reduce the word count for the ceremony, we are safe cutting "in sickness & health." It is almost redundant after this weekend. In addition to the occassional chicken soup & TLC that is part of any relationship, we are now 1-1 for accompanying each other to the local hospital.
In my case, I was a willing patient. If things are not feeling right, I'm all about the better safe than sorry. K, on the other hand, suffers from an unfortunate chronic condition: being a man. Which meant a week of my begging him to get checked out before he finally relented (under intense peer pressure from our friends, I might add). So rather than Urgent Care on Friday morning, we instead found ourselves at Potomac Hopsital at 10 pm on a Saturday. Not exactly a traditional date night.
That being said, I was glad to be there for him, and know that he truly appreciated my company and care. K does not make you guess on these things; he is quick to show appreciation. He's good at that positive reinforcement stuff. :) Also, it was a relief to see him doing a bit better and know that the task of unraveling the mystery of his labored breathing had finally started. Hopefully by this time tomorrow, I'll be back to the routine of typing very, very quietly so as not to wake him with my night owl ways. Ready to take a break from the sickness, & get back to the health part of our partnership. That's the plan!
