Palliative Care

Me to husband: Ugh, I've got a cold.

Husband to me: I will fix you! *draws a hot bath, makes me homemade ginger, licorice and elderflower tea (which I hate but drink for him) gets me decongestants, fluffs up my pillows*  There you go!  Feel better?

Me to husband:  Kind of.  Not really.  But thank you.

Husband to me: ...okay then, I'm going to go play video games.

I've got to give him credit: he doesn't hover once he's done all he thinks he can do.  When I'm laid up in bed-- well, as long as I'm as comfy as possible, he's got a date with StarCraft.  See you later, honey.  Try not to breathe on my pillow.  I love him, he's awesome, and his penchant for fixing things--whatever they may be--doesn't quite rise to the level of kink, so.  That's me right now.  How's your evening?

  2. I hope you feel better soon. You're lucky he's that attentive since a lot of men want to be waited on even when their wives are sick.

    1. I am pretty lucky. Although when he's sick, you'd better believe I'm on pampering duty:)

  3. My husband makes a good nurse for me when I'm sick but he tends to hover which drives me crazy after a short time. :-) Gotta love him though.

    Feel better soon, lady!

  4. Me: Sneeze, blow my nose, groan in agony
    The cat: ears back, runs from room thinking "I thought I knew you, but you're making strange sounds/stay away from me sicky..."

    1. It makes me glad I don't have pets, I wouldn't want to traumatize them with my illness:)

  5. Get well. I tend to go hide when I'm sick. Occasionally the children help me, and sometimes I don't have to ask. :)

    1. What lovely children! I'm much better, too, so that helps with my equanimity today:)

  6. G'Day, It is nice to know you are well enough to tell us how sick you are.I hope it doesn't last very long.
    It has been said that with proper treatment a cold can be attended to in a fortnight.
    If you let it go it's normal course it will be gone in 14 days.
    What?
    Yes, that's what I thought too.
    Take care
    On to more important subjects;- Where do I find you newer stories? Literotica has all the older ones I have read and they, specifically, "The Captain", is what sucked me in to reading your ( bloody good)stuff.
    When you have time, "call" me:- perodosh@gamil.com.
    Regards,
    Pete

    1. Hi Pete

      My newer stories that are free and not yet on Lit are the ones you can find here on my blog; Paradise is the only one I haven't crossposted yet. Thanks!
