Michael never complains...I mean NEVER! He can be having a very rough day...and half the time I don't even know what is going on unless he tells the Doctor....Last night he was all wrapped up in a blanket....feeling very cold (a side effect of the chemo) even though the temp in this house was 70
(me in short sleeves!! a little to sauna like!!) and he tells me he has a shooting pain in his left side of his face....his lip is numb on that side also....I mean, the pain was so bad that he actually took a pain pill....and that never happens, even when he was having his teeth extracted....So, I said to him that I am going to call the Doctor....he says....wait till morning....Fast forward to a few hours sleep for me....and he says when asked how he is this morning....still wrapped in a blanket....OH...GOOD...really....GOOD.....
She said to herself.....Do I believe this?????????????????? Or does he just not want me to call the Doctor??????? HUMMMMMMM.....she said to herself! Have to keep my sleepy eyes open today!
Your strong, pain tolerant husband is lucky to have you. I tend to call the doctor at the first sign of a stoic grimace. I also hover and say repeatedly say things like "R U Okay?" which is kind of a stupid question under the circumstances, but I ask it anyway.
