I have a sick husband this week, too much to his embarrassment. On Tuesday eve. I was filling the dishwasher and asked him to check out the water softner because their was a film on my dishes. A few minutes later I went downstairs to put something away and their was my husband doing the classic choking signs. Hands around the neck, gasping for air. I immediately began performing the Heimlich manuever on him. Soon he was vomitting all over the place. After he caught his breathe I asked what happened. It seems he was siphoning a hose and a shot of salt water hit the back of his throat.
That night Donovan and I were both sick and were on the couch all day. Thankfully my husband was home all day to nurture and care for us. He left that evening around 5:00. By then I felt like handling the ropes a little. We thought it was something we ate because neither my husband or my youngest son were sick. My youngest son was so cute. I was lying on the couch nauseous and he wanted me to make his breakfast. I told him he has to ask his dad because my tummy hurts. My son then said you want some coffee to make your tummy better? The next morning I still had a headache and was drinking coffee and he wondered if my head still hurts. I said yes. Then a little later he asked if it still hurts. I showed him that it hurts above my eye. His prescription was to drink more coffee. So we merrily went along our day PTL because we were all feeling better when my husband beeped me around 7:30 last night. He says I've done something embarrassing. I thought what now. Here this guy stopped at a Sonny's for supper. All day he felt nauseous and diaherra. He thought if he eats something solid he'll feel better. He ordered his meal when all of a sudden he did not feel well at all so he ordered a box to go. While he was waiting on the waitress to box up his food he fainted at the table! There was an EMT and a nurse sitting at the next table so right away they call anambulance. So my poor hubby was wheeled out of the restaurant on a stretcher and taken to the hospital! Can you imagine! I would have been so embarrassed! He was too! Everything checked for him but he was ordered not to drive any further that night! A kind waiter gave his name & phone # to the ambulance driver to call him when he was ready to be picked up. So this waiter gets a call from the nurse that he is ready to be picked up. He picks dh up and brings him back to his truck and wouldn't take anything for it. Just told him to pass the favour on. I think of the song their angels amoung us. PTL he was not driving when it happened, although he assures me he had enough warning he could have pulled over and laid down. Any way that's been my week so far. Hopefully Jackson does not get sick.
