scary owchies

I love Ben, he's never really hurt himself when I'm around (he did cut himself once and I got him into the bathroom and squirted saline on the cut before seeing the blood run down the drain and getting woozy), but I've managed to injure myself or get sick a few times in the 4 years we've been together.

Today was no exception to the norm, Ben's fine and I may have a scratched cornea. Eye pain is scary, but he hugged me and held my hand while calling my cousin S, a nurse, and then while I called the eye Dr. Thankfully, it's a superficial scratch and is already feeling better (5 hours after the initial onset) and if it the sensitivity isn't gone by Tuesday morning, my Dr. said to call first thing in the morning and he'll see me then for a regular Dr. appointment (which only requires a copay for insurance coverage, not a percentage payment like for the ER).

Long story short, I'm fine now (though shaken) and Ben is good at taking care of me when I'm sick or hurt. I wish those things happened less often to me, but he has the immune system, and healing power of a superhero!
