"Yes."
"What did you have for dinner?"
"Um . . . ice cream."
If I can't have ice cream for dinner when Husband is in hospital when can I have it?
In our phone calls yesterday he sounded great; today not so good. Very tired and weak. I think the effects of the anaesthesia may have worn off completely. The physiotherapist tried to get him to march on the spot. He told her to go away. Which isn't like Husband. As Daughter said yesterday, he will not give in but will persevere until he can do what's asked of him.
Recovery will be a long haul but it's begun and we can look forward to life again. With lots of holidays!
Once I stop being snuffly and coughy. Fed up of this already. I am a very impatient patient.
Daughter brought me a box of Parisian macarons from her holiday. She said I could share them with Husband but I'm not sure if that's a good idea. Not in his condition. I may have to eat them all myself.

You just may have to do that, Liz! Lol.
Nurses CAN be pushy! The next day after my colon surgery, the nurse told me to get out of bed and walk around. I gave it my best shot, but everything hurt so bad, I just told her to come back the next day. Then I hit that sweet, sweet morphine button some more. On the second day, I was able to get up and shuffle around a bit. Fun times!
They're so anxious to get people upright quickly to avoid pneumonia, but sometimes it's too much to ask.
I think you're going to have to tackle those macarons yourself. If you want a thing done right, etc.
He is thinking of your. Maybe he is just plain tired. He has been through a lot.
Eat the cookies.

Oh now you can have ice cream and macarons for dinner.
Buckle up. Grit your teeth. And just do it.
Next time have some fruit to go with the ice cream so you can call it a balanced meal.
Does your husband not like ice cream? Could he not fix himself something other than your ice cream for dinner? Eat the cookies - and the ice cream.
Save both for him when he gets home. Dont be selfish.
