My husband is attempting to sleep in our bed tonight for he first time since he got sick and had to sleep upright in the other room. He said to me, “We’re gonna try this… If I end up coughing too much, just wake me and tell me to go to the other room.”
Pretty sure I did a sort of scoff at his idea. He asked what the deal was, and I replied something along the lines of, ‘Yeah, that’s gonna work,’ and he started chuckling, almost childlike. I threw out,”‘Honey, wake up, please, and go to the other room.’ ‘WHAT DOES IT EVEN MATTER?!’ That could be an excerpt from our future conversation.” He kept chuckling all the more. He understood fully how true it was. π
