Why Andy is a Great Husband...Warning Graphic Content!!

***Fair warning there are a few gross things in this post and it might not be for the faint of heart***

Okay, this post is no pics or anything like that, just a quick way to express my love and appreciation for my husband. It's been six years now and while not all of it has been wonderful or easy. I'm so glad that we're together. What has sparked this sudden post you might ask, is it the upcomming father's day holiday. No. It's more than that...(here comes the gross part)... Since, I was pregnant with the girls my hormones have been totally out of control. I had so much that I threw up every day with the girls for quite a while. Most mornings I was good and made it to a trash can or the toilet, however, that was not always the case and every time I didn't make it Andy always got up and cleaned up for me so I could go lay down a little bit. After the girls and the end of breast feeding my hormones went completely back the other way. I guess from all the swings and crazy levels they affected me more than I thought. I started having miscarriage like periods every month, then every three weeks. It was crazy and I couldn't deal with it anymore. So at Andy's encouragement I went to the doctor and yesterday he too me to have a D&C and then an ablation. Meaning they scraped everything out of my uterus then basically carterized the entire thing. The plan was for Andy to take me in in the morning then we'd be home by lunchtime and he would go to work for half a day. However, this was not the case. I woke up sobbing in recovery and he was right there telling me it was okay, then when the pain was awful they gave me more drugs which of course made me so sick I couldn't move without getting sick. By the time we got back to the house he decided to just stay home with me, he made sure I had plenty of fluids and made me eat so I could take more of the awful pain meds. He even laid with me to watch a movie without touching me or making the bed move so I wouldn't get sick. Today I'm feeling better, still very achy and tired but not sick. The side effects of the procedure: no more bleeding ever... that's great right, but it also means no more children ever. Even though we were planning on being done, I'm still a little angry, we were done before by our choice, now we're done no matter what, yes it was my choice not to live that way anymore, but it's still a sucky choice. Enough of that though...Back to Andy, he's great because he's there for the big things, he's there for the house and the kids and the little things, but also because he's there for the gross things you're afraid of doing. I love you husband and am grateful every day that we found each other.
