Poor DH - I have been whinging about him having man flu for the last week - turns out he is quite poorly

He has a major chest infection and a tooth abscess so big he looks like I hit him with a 3 by 3

He is now on mega A/B's (for both) & the dentist has taken off his crown to allow the abscess to drain

Poor baby

Awww, apparently scientists believe men do in fact have lower pain thresholds.

Eww! Yuck.

Poor man, sounds like he needs some cuddles. Get in there woman and cuddle away. Just don't squeeze too tight!

I am not going anywhere near him.......there is yucky stuff draining out

poor man....

do you feel guilty now????

awwww

((BTW, I have done this about my DH before, he still mentions it))

Treat them mean, keep them keen

Seriously, you being sympathetic wouldn't have prevented a major infection.

Besides now comparatively, I bet you are nicest person in the world?

I have just enjoyed the week without the complaints about how wrong I do everything (cos he has been in bed)

He is feeling better now so he came downstairs washed up (including rewashing everything I washed), hoovered, put a couple of loads of washing on and cook tea

I had similar with dh recently. Told my friends that he was going around with the world's first potentially fatal sore throat and he had severe tonsilitis. I know how ill he was as I got it a week later.
