When You're Sick

[Living4Him03]

When you are feeling under the weather, do you ever wish someone were there to care for you? Start thinking about how nice it will be when/if you are married someday and your spouse will be there to take care of you when you get sick and you them?

My throat has been kinda scratchy and it got really dry and then the phelm (however it's spelled) came on and I started choking so hard I had tears coming out lol. I guess it would be nice to have someone around in those times to see if I'm okay.

No.

try drinking some OJ, taking some cough medicane, and getting some extra sleep, also try gurgling with some warm salt water for 30 seconds at a time.

Sometimes I do because since I live alone I get worried the occasional time that something could happen to me and nobody would be there to see.

Other than that, an occasional tender hand would probably help me heal faster!

HAHA my last bf never even cared when i was sick. I was never looked after!! he said he didnt know how.

Everyones sick at the moment. Ive only just gotten better

No.

true that.

I try not to think about such things - it only makes living today more difficult and the sickness even harder. As hard as it may be I try to turn my eyes to the blessings God .has. given me rather than ones He has not - like thankfulness that chicken soup comes in cans, orange juice, warm blankets, the non-scratchy tissues, heating pads, hot showers, sunshine, a warm house, heavy bathrobe, Vicks vap-o-rub, encouragement from scripture, family..... When the time of that blessing comes, then I'll rejoice. :^)

I do suspect, though, that when my time comes it will be alone and it will take a while before people find out.

I've seen little old ladies with these necklace's that alert the paramedics if they fall and break their hip or something. Maybe you could get one of those?

 

[chickenfeet]

no, and somewhat?

being sick to me, is something personal. i dont like being viewed as "weak", cuz i try so hard to deliver myself as a strong independent chick.

but, there are those times, i'm afraid of dying during a sz, .. dying alone has always been something scary that i think about from time to time. when i was in HS, i was diagnosed with E, and at times have these debilitating sz where i can't fend for myself, and am often in the H cause of this. and up until august, i had a doggie, named lex... who wasn't a seizure alert dog... but he always knew when something wasn't right, he'd come over to me and watch me til things calmed down. it somehow made me feel safe. just his presence. but he was a dog, so i allowed it.. i dont allow ppl. cuz i dont like people to see me like that... it annoys me. makes me feel like they think i'm less of a person, and i hate it.

its bad enough when my family see me that way. i would never allow a guy to see me at my worst of times. especially, if i had the flu or a cold... nobody is pretty when they are sick. lol.. that'd be embarrassing.. i've been known while to slump down on the couch with my electric blankey while watching t.v, and tossing my boogey clothes on the floor to where i have 50+ fleenex's piling up beside me. kodak moment? i think not. lol.. definitely wouldnt want some guy to see looking like a slob, with a rudolph nose. :o

being single is a blessing IMO when ur sick. but thats just me.

i prefer taking care of people. not being tooken care of. i quess thats why i went into the nursing field. and, from what i have noticed... boys are a lot more whiney then girls are, when they're sick. its kinda funny.

 

[2Timothy2]

No It might be nice and all, but, no.

 

[Living4Him03]

Maybe it's just because in my family, that's how it was...my Dad would take care of me when I was sick and if he got sick I would take care of him. My mom is not an overly affectionate person like that, so she expects people to take care of themselves.

I want my hubby someday to take care of me when I'm sick...not so much that he is treating me like a baby, but being extra sweet would be nice hehe. And then I will of course treat him the same way. I think it's romantic.

 

[MrsGnomeCrusher]

I agree with you, L4H. I used to view it like chickenfeet and think it was a sign of weakness and that I didn't need anyone to take care of me. I've come to a conclusion that it sucks! For me, the worst part about being sick is being alone. I feel that lonliness times 10. I want someone to check on me and to make sure I'm okay. I want someone to care.

 

[Tink]

For me, it depends on how sick I am. When I'm having an asthma attack, I wouldn't mind someone else running to the other room to get my inhaler. On the other hand, if I have a cold...it would only make the other person chance being ill if they took care of me. :shrug: I think maybe the men say no so we girls don't think they're too sensitive. jk guys!

In truth, most guys I know like to be taken care of or babied if they are sick. Not so much that you are like their mother, but they like to be cared for.

I prefer to be left alone personally.

..untill you realize that your spouse is unemployed and you're BROKE!!!!

 

[gsmithcat]

I know what your getting at L4H, but most of the time when I'm sick I just want to be left alone.

I guess I prefer to just take some NyQuil and crash. Then play some video games and stuff. Maybe that'll all change when I get married.

I wonder if married people still sleep in the same bed when one of them is sick?

Ha ha! I've heard that. Most women state that men are the biggest babies when it comes to them being sick. They expected to be waited on and have all their needs met for them as if they were a newborn.
