...The best is he was saying he thought he caught it from the cat because the cat has been sneezing.  I had to tell him that's not possible for us to give or get a cold from a cat.  He's a smart guy... must be delirious.

That put a stop to that particular situation. I told my husband that if a second knee replacement is warranted, he had better get some help because I cannot deal with him.

 

 


@Vivian, I had a little procedure two years ago, thought something was wrong the next day, called the nurse who assured me it was "normal." My friend came over and called the nurse again, same thing. When I showed up in the doc's office three days later and he examined me for post-op, he went ashen and said I should have come in right away. I told him how incompetent his nursing staff was. He apparently gave them the what-for because I was treated like royalty after that.

Doncha know it!   As soon as I hear 'I think I'm getting a cold' I just want to disappear for a while.  You'd think he was going to die and the forced coughs just make me SMH (inside anyway). 

 

Just have to deal.   We're not their mommies and they are grown-ups, but they sure can act like 5 year olds sometimes. hehe - They know it.  It's not like I'm saying anything that men don't know, so I'm not hating on anybody.  Smiley Happy

Well, we got a new thermometer. We have day and night time Nyquill, I can dial 911 if needed and we may get ambulance contract just in case. Guess what, we're both fine. Told him I don't have a rectal thermometer, but that's next, he looked a bit sheepish!

Woman Very Happy  I like to kid him.
