It may only be January 2nd, but Ken has already won this year’s husband of the year award. I’ve been dealing with a serious health issue this past week. In fact, I spent Tuesday and Wednesday in the hospital, and will be going back for surgery on Monday.
While I have been pretty much limited to either the recliner or the bed, Ken has just taken over. Meals, laundry, you name it, he’s taken care of it. He’s also been my rock, offering comfort, distraction, hugs, and laughter. I truly could not have gotten through these long days of waiting without him.
The picture is actually from Christmas Eve, when Ken helped me with our Christmas morning pie. Although he has spent a lot of time in the kitchen the past few days, I have not.
He got a reprieve today. Alice spent the day with us to help, cooked picadillo for tonight’s dinner, and is spending the night. And Ben will be here for several days next week. But I could not make it through this without him.
