This week so far

  • My husband just spent 43 hours in a 51-hour period in the hospital.
  • The last time I saw him was this morning, when he got home at 7 a.m. and fell into bed as I was getting out of it.
  • The last time I spoke to him was two days ago, when he got home past dinnertime and had one hour before he had to go to bed for a 3 a.m. wake-up call.
  • I lied: I didn’t get out of bed until 8:45.
  • In related news, I’m a little concerned I will get sick every two weeks for the rest of my life.
  • I’m not sure how he can pass on so many minor illnesses when we barely touch.
  • It’s probably that damn fancy electric toothbrush.
