pray for this big guy and his sissy of a wife
September 22nd, 2007 @ 3:54 pm
that is my husband chris. yeah, i know i married way out of my league. he is patient, understanding, and at the moment, having to put up with his sissy of a wife.
i never get sick. sure, i get a little cold or a stomach virus but nothing too crazy. and nothing nearly as serious as shaun’s son (kawasaki disease) who is doing much better, by the way.
i woke up early today to meet somebody for breakfast and felt pretty sore. i chalked it up to doing some physical labor yesterday as i helped set up an interactive prayer-type area for a conference. that or the fact i haven’t slept much in the last two nights.
but after coming home from breakfast, i just laid on the couch and fell asleep. i woke up freezing and took my temperature. 100 on the nose. even when i am sick, i less frequently get fevers.
so now i am cranky, cold, and achy. does it sound like i’m complaining? take that and multiply it by a thousand. that is what my dear husband has to tolerate. so pray for him, pray for me…
i am a big poop face when i’m sick.

The conference you helped out with didn’t happen to be the Fusion Conference in Irving, did it?

How ’bout I pray for both of you…for you to get well, and for him to deal with the crankiness while you are icky…
Get some rest…

Sorry you are sicky. Sounds like the flu bug gotcha. Just take it easy–sleep–and the more you sleep, the less grouchy you will towards Chris. (i.e. not awake to be grouchy). Let the Flop and Wicket hug you in bed. Wish I could be there to hug you too.

Definite prayers for “it” to pass through your system quickly and Chris’ pampering to you. Hopefully you like chicken noodle soup (the cure-all)and no you are not a sissy.

I think it’s easy for anyone to curl up into a ball and play the “poor me” card when they are sick. I think it makes you feel better, sooner.
There has to be research on that…Somewhere.

Thanks everyone for your prayers. I am still a big ball (transplanted from bed to couch) and my fever has stayed down (I think the Tylenol I took at 5 am would have worn off by now…and it is back at the typical 97.8) my body is still pretty achy and I am way fatigued - very unlike me! I am usually on crack. So…I shall continue to relax and I appreciate your prayers for whatever it is my body doesn’t like.

Aww….Anne, I guess God answered your prayer to help you slow down in life, huh? Hope you get to feeling better. Being sick is no fun!

Awesome-O, Anne — What’s random is that when I knelt on a pillow to read what someone wrote on a dry erase board, I thought, “Wow, people took the time to set this station up. I like these pillows.” We were almost in the same place at the same time! Hope you’re back to tip top shape!
