white and pink with blades of blue

Over the last two days, I’ve started to feel a little bit better. My spleen is still so enlarged I risk bursting it at just about every turn (boy, that’s a lot of fun) but the various medicines my doctor prescribed have taken care of the secondary infections in my sinuses and throat, so while I’m super exhausted, at least I’m not in any pain.
You know what sucks? I haven’t been able to do much more than passively watch DVDs, because even trying to focus long enough to read is exhausting. I can’t even think about trying to write anything, either, so I feel like I’m just wasting time and losing days . . . and even though I know it’s what I have to do, it’s still annoying.
Because I can’t do much of anything, Anne has become responsible for everything we normally share, like getting the kids to and from school, preparing meals, feeding the dogs, keeping the house clean and all that stuff.
When I told Anne that I just hate it that I can’t help her, especially since I keep asking her to do stuff for me, she said, “It’s okay. This is the ‘sickness’ part of ‘sickness and health.'”
My wife is the most awesome person in the universe. She’s made this experience much less miserable for me, with her compassion, patience and understanding. Hopefully, it will only be another week or so before I have the strength to pick up at least a little bit of the slack around here.

  1. Wil,
    I hope you’re coming out of the mono-haze. Speaking as a regular reader and a bona-fide geek, I must admit that I am ashamed that members of Tribe Geek would hassle you for being ill. Bastards.
    Be well soon. In the meantime, enjoy your DVD collection.

  2. hmmmm

    & where do we send “Get Well” cards too?? I really think alot cards would cheer him up some(I bet the boys would have to open them for him)

  4. Wil, You can loathe the President all you want. That is the right you have under our system of government. But all the whining and bitching and moaning I hear from you is about America. How about stepping up and critisizing leaders that have NOT been elected or re-elected by the people. You know, bring some balance to your political activism.
    And oce again, I keep asking for instances where Bush lied. Not where is got it wrong by trusting certain things that had been assumed to be fact for a decade but stuff that he actually lied about. You and those that share your opinion of Bush have still not proven he lied about anything.
    It is one thing to be against a leaders ideas and actions and a wholly nouther to call him a liar. Perhaps you might want to re-examine that line and make sure you have not confused the 2 issues.
