Paul have been suffering from sore throat, decongestion and headache for the past 2 days and I wonder if the above is causing him to be delusional. Somehow he have this idea, illusion or whatever you want to call it ! And think that he is living in the 1700s and there isn't any medication in this civilised world but believing in his self cure which is plenty of sleep !HELLO !!! I have to constantly remind him that we are now living in Year 2007 and we are neither in Somalia nor Kenya where medication is scare and rare. The incrediable part is, we have all the medication at home to counteract with all his symptom ! When you think that someone who have been coughing for 2 days would do something or anything to stop it but apparently he is not one of them. Strangly as it seems, it's like some alien had told him that all he need is plenty of sleep and he will recover like a miracle. How reliable the words of the alien is ? I am not too confident as I have yet to see any progress nor improvement.
I am super skeptical on his master plan just - PLENTY OF SLEEP ! Day 1, I kind of buy it but after 10 hrs of sleep and sleeping right through to Day 2, zero or no improvement have been revealed.
Being the nagging wife, I have to forced down the cough syrup on him and threaten to hurt him with my chinese kung fu if he doesn't take any asprin for his headache. I tugged him into bed with a glass of cold water and let him get as much beauty sleep as his body starved for.
What I am most impressed with Paul is despite his sickness, it is still raise and shine for him at 5.30am in the morning and heading off to work. But he does try to come home an hour eariler from his usual schedule and begin his "self-cure" sleeping regime and be a fierce contender to the Sleeping Beauty. Unlike some of us who would just take 1 or 2 days off work and tug ourselves under the blankie he is a strong warrior.
As at now, I am back to being Nurse Lee and the hooligan who is constantly threatening him to take his medication or hurt him. And of course, making sure he have plenty of rest to fight his sickness. If there's still no progress by tomorrow, I will be holding him at gunpoint and kidnap him to the Doctor's office. Hopefully he will be back to his usual healthy + goofy self before I start my violent streak.

What is up with guys??? Pete is the same way! Its like they perfer to be sick so they have an excuse to lay around, be lazy and have us feel sorry for them. and even if we are nagging 24 hours a day, i think they perfer the attention rather than getting better! Pete will say "ohhhhhh... i have a headache." and i will say "here, take this aspirin." and he will say "no, i will be allright." then he will sit over there and moan and groan for the rest of the night! men are sooooo silly!!! Its so nice to know that pete is not the only stubborn, crazy guy in the world!
You can definately say that Sister ! Paul drives me mental with his stubborness and yet he looks at you with this pitiful, sad and "comfort me" eyes so you do anything for him.
And you are right again, Pete is not the only one. Now I kind of think perhaps it's the DNA which is embeded in them.
