I’m Hacking Up A God Damn Lung

Note to self: Don’t tease your fiance about being a hypochondriac for a few weeks prior to him getting the swine flu. A few weeks back, he comes home from work freaking out that his coworker has a confirmed case of H1N1. The next day he says his stomach hurts and he thinks he has the swine flu. A few days later, he complains that he’s hot and he might have a fever. Which again leads him to say that he has the swine flu. I don’t buy any of it and just laugh at him. Day after day it became a joke between us. He would complain of some kind of symptom and we would laugh because he thinks he is sick. Then all of a sudden he got a sore throat and a cough. This just wasn’t any cough, it was a “I’m hacking up a god damn lung” cough. Over night he progressively got worse and I knew right then he actually had the flu. Boy, did I just feel like an ass. That’s proof right there when you constantly keep thinking you are sick (but you really aren‘t), you actually get sick. Poor thing. Next time I just won’t tease him as much. Maybe that will help. Although someone did tell me that maybe it was his karma for shooting me. I’ll have to ponder that one...jk
