He was sound asleep on the bed as my beds for the night was the bathroom rug and the combination of my feet in the bathroom, torso in the wooden floored hallway, and head on the wooden floored bedroom as I tried to crawl to him. Giving up while hearing him snore I mumbled "I'm glad you can f*%#in sleep". <br /><br />He finally gave me meds I didn't know were there from the bathroom at 7 am. 6 hours of torture and aloneness.....I FEEL YOU! I had wished I had my mom there.</p> Takes me back to 2002 when I stayed at my boyfriends house and got very very ill.

He finally gave me meds I didn’t know were there from the bathroom at 7 am. 6 hours of torture and aloneness…..I FEEL YOU! I had wished I had my mom there.

And, I have been at the beck and call of my pregnant-and-on-bedrest best friend in Richardson (her hubby was in Iraq, but made it home Thurs for a 2 week R&R…just in time for their baby to arrive, as she is being induced tomorrow morning).

I’m starting to have ‘beck and call’ withdrawals!

I have been in this EXACT same scenario before, and the first thing I did was call my mother, even though she lives more than an hour away. Why is it that mom always makes it better, even if it's just hearing her voice over the phone? I am 26 years old and this tried-and-true cure works every time. It's funny how being sick turns "single and fabulous" into "single, pathetic and alone" in a matter of minutes though. Hmmmm...</p> Reading this was like reading an entry out of my own diary (if I kept one).

Consider myself to be very independent (much like you), but a bout with the flu last week left me a teary mess. Glad you're on the mend, take care!</p> Oh man, that is awful – those moments truly make you feel single.
