The Garage of Malaise

[greatbear]

Jeff surprised me by coming home after only a couple hours of work. He'd been feeling out of sorts the last couple days, and his coming home today was not entirely unexpected. I took him to see the doc this afternoon, who proceeded to tell him to head to the emergency room. Stat. Jeff had complained of chest pains, and as I have learned first hand, there is no dilly-dallying around by medical types. So I take Jeff to the county hospital ER and they shuffle him off to run various tests, leaving me alone and worrying sitting in a hallway. Eventually they had moved him to another room where I could stay with him as they run more tests. Thankfully all the EKGs, x-rays and other tests came back negative for any heart problems. The ER doc said he has some sort of bug, coupled with exhaustion. Doc sent him home with orders to rest for the next several days. I collect my dear hunniebunnie, get us a little take-away meal from McDonald's and bring him home where he's now resting quietly.

I really was trying to keep myself together at times while waiting in the hallway. I don't know what I would do if something happened to Jeff. He's all I have anymore. I can't write enough words into this space to tell how relieved I am that it's nothing serious. I love him so much.

I think it's time we both take it easy for a while. I took a nasty spill getting out of the car at our doctor's office. It seems I still have the occasional loss of control in my legs. It's not as bad as before my spine surgery, but evidently I'm not out of the woods yet.

We're a pair, that's for sure. Sometimes pathetic, but still a pair. And for that I'm thankful.

You two are very fortunate to have each other.

A nice rest ought to do you both a world of good.

You have each other ... and thankfully, you understand how important that is ... May Jeff get well quickly and may you stay on your feet as much as possible (and I mean this with a smile and a hug).

So glad it wasn't as bad as was feared! Both of you - REST!

Let the world turn without you for a few days. Rest is good.

I'm so glad it wasn't more serious. You two fall back and regroup. Big hugs and stuff too.

I'm glad to hear the chest pains weren't anything serious, and here's to him feeling better soon.

Glad to hear it wasn't anything serious other than exhaustion and a little bug of some sort.

Hope this is a sign that a little rest and relaxation is best every now and then.

Glad you two have each other these days.

Sometimes we walk on the tips of our toes for so long, trying not to disturb whatever monsters that seem to continually be waiting for us that we forget what it is like to just stop and rest. Thankfully your physicians have effectively taken the keys to your go karts away from you for a while. Relax Phil, spend this extended time with Jeff and do not think of ways to use the time to get overdue tasks finished. It is a great time for you to climb in bed beside him and just contemplate the mystery of life and how your love for each other is intertwined with it.

Hangout together in bed and on the couch for a few days. Exhaustion lets all sorts of nasty things develop.

It's good to hear Jeff is ok, but I hate to hear you took a spill! Hugs to you both - I hope the rest of the week is a little kinder to you two.

Both of you, take it easy, rest up, vegetate and just BE for a while.

HUGS.

Guess I need to check on at LJ more frequently! So happy to learn that what started out fraught with anxiety or worse turns out well. Hope you'll both take some time out together and, as another before stated nicely 'just be'.

Heck! Why not let Jeff just take the rest of the month off. Climb into your snuggies, relax, watch the snowfall.

(And stay off the roof!)

HUGS

Sometimes, it takes a shock to help us remember what our lives are really made of.
So glad to hear Jeff is ok and recuperating. Enjoy the quiet, and rest easy.

Well we think you two are perfect and we love you both.
