Sick Arrangement
Ok, I am having another "first" moment in my marriage. This time is the first time my wife falls sick. This is a real one, not just a little headache that makes her go to a doctor to get a medical leave to skip the office hour, which, I might say, she never did in her entire life because:
a. She's a dedicated working woman who always put her best effort in her job
b. Her colleagues might read this blog
She's having a terrible flu. A flu that causes her to sneeze every time her nose is in contact with any minor object, such as oxygen. So, I immediately thought about many treatments and cures that could make her well. Then, just like many other caring husband whose wife is experiencing such suffering, I made plan to send her to her mom's.
The thing is, when I fall sick, it is quite easy to take care of me, mainly because I refuse to get out of the bed and I keep whining about how I felt.
But when my wife is sick, she cannot lay still and rest. She wants to clean the house and cook lunch. She also always says that she's getting better although her body temperature is enough to heat the whole Alaska. That’s why taking care of my wife sickness is confusing for me and it’s better to ask her mom to take care of her.
But of course I did not send my wife there at the end. My wife just needed to rest and take some medication from the doctor before she finally feels better. Of course she still sneezes here and there, but it’s much better now. I guess tomorrow she’ll be fine and will be able to continue her work. And iron my shirts for me.
