What a way to spend a birthday

The last of my family February birthdays is today, and it is my husband's. Poor guy. He had a back injury a few days ago and has been in severe pain. I feel for him. He was hoping to feel better today and get back to work, but it didn't happen. Instead he had to wincingly walk in to see the doctor and take it very easy after that. But I think his doctor is excellent, and if a seasoned nurse can say that, then you know it must be true. Though as an insider I often rail against the medical system, there are times like today, when having access to it is a major blessing. So on this birthday, maybe his best gifts were being able to go to a doctor when many people across our planet cannot and having a wife who can not only make a really delicious chocolate birthday cake but who can also be around to help. It is good that most people live their lives in pairs. We all need each other.
