How important is it to have an amazing spouse when your Achilles goes POP?
Very important.
It’s amazing how troublesome the simplest of things can be when you are stuck on crutches. How do you carry anything of weight? (Hint: A backpack is golden!). How far is the grocery store to go and get food? Driving? How about walking the dog? All these things, while doable, definitely help when a loved one is around.
Of course the first few days it’s ok to ask “can you…” or “could you…” and “do you mind….” But on day 21 or so those questions get tedious and you start to feel guilty asking. I’m lucky in that my spouse so far (fingers crossed) hasn’t gotten too bored of the constant asking of small little things. But personally I find it frustrating to have to ask. I’m looking forward to getting out of this cast and losing the crutches.
All in time…

You are so right! I fell in love with my husband all over again when he was so kind and so patient! I hope I would have been as good to him were our positions reversed…but I doubt it. hmmmm
