I have been a wife and mother for over twenty years. Now I am becoming my husband's lover, too.
We owe it all to my fellow bloggers who gave me the courage to come out to my husband as a spanko.
I do feel like this is a New Beginning for us.

Interesting weekend – but I didn’t like it

Friday was the last teacher workday, student come Monday. I have to get this year started or it won’t finish so I’d okay with that.  But I was up a little earlier than I’d planned Friday. Nick woke me about 3:30 saying, “Sorry to bother you, but I’m having chest pains and we need to go to the ER.”

Terrible way to wake, but he kept me calm by just being himself.  He wasn’t hurting badly and I admire him for realizing he still needed to be checked out. We live in a small town and at that time in the morning there was no one else at the ER so they took him back right away.  It wasn’t a heart attack, thank God, but he was having trouble with atrial fibrillation. When we got there the top of his heart was beating over 300 beats per minute – not good. They were quickly able to get the heart beat to normal after some meds, but they wanted to admit him for more tests.

They seemed absolutely amazed at his answers to their questions.

Do you smoke? No
Do you drink? In moderation
Any recreational drugs? No
What medications are you on? None
Ever been hospitalized? No
What surgeries have you had? Only wisdom teeth
Are you abused at home? Long pause… small grin… No.
Do you get any exercise? I help my father in the garden

Seriously there was no reason for this man to be having any problems!

I had to go into school for at least a little while and Nick told me to go on – he’s not one to want someone, even me, hovering over him. So while I was gone they did an ultrasound and a chemical stress test – both of which ‘looked good’ we were told. 

As with most hospital stays it was mostly boring and when I got back I was so tired. Nick moved over in the bed and told me to lie down for a nap. I was too tired to argue and Nick and I were napping peacefully when Mollie got there. Mollie wasn’t sure she approved, but we just laughed at her.

She did think one thing we told her about the day was ‘precious’. Nick wears two hearing aids, but one of them is off being repaired. As we got him settled in his room he got the battery warning that the other one was going out. He really wouldn’t be able to hear at all without either of them so I took the battery out of my hearing aid and gave it to him. For some reason the story tickled Mollie – she felt it was ‘very romantic in a little old couple way.’

Heart problems, hearing aids and two napping in a hospital bed – we may sound ancient but he still spanks my butt whenever he likes and we still use our cuff, blindfolds and various sex toys frequently. Life does stay interesting.

    1. Me too! I hear really well out of one ear, so I don't wear mine all the time - he really needs them both. It cuts down on whispering sweet nothings to one another, but we manage.

    1. I love the age we are - close to retirement and maybe we can be an example to younger couples that this lifestyle can keep you together and excited with one another for a long time.

  6. Glad to hear that Nick is doing well...that must have been very scary. I have found that getting 'older' does have a few rewards...;)

    1. It was scary. Getting older is challenging and surprising. You know these things may be coming, but they always comes as a shock.

  8. I'm relieved that Nick is on the mend. It is so hard when our man is ill. Scary. He is a smart guy to realize how important it was to get to the ER fast!
    The hearing aide story made me smile.
    The last paragraph made me think YES! Good for us mature couples, we are still young!

    1. It was scary and I too am very happy he was smart enough to go to the hospital. I guess our age doesn't matter as long as we're enjoying ourselves.

  9. Verycute post and I'm so glad Nick is fine. Isn't it funny how he defies the rules.
    Love the last part, youngsters need to know that even us "old folks" are still young at heart and in our heads.

  11. Thanks for the update, PK. It is good that they didn't find anything to worry over. I will keep you two in my thoughts, though.

    The both of you in the hospital bed reminds me of Cassie and Tom!!

    Take good care of that man,

  16. Very proud of your husband for admitting that he needed to go to the hospital. Prayers to both of you for continued good health. I can only imagine what Molly thought when seeing her parents being so close. You two are great role models of a good relationship.

    1. Me too, I would have expected him to power on - he's smarter than I thought. Mollie might roll her eyes as we hug and kiss - but I know she so happy that we are still close.

  17. Just catching up around here. I am so very glad that Nick is okay. Loved reading about you two "old folk"! (Giggle!) Frankly, I'm with you - make the most of life! (Wink!) Just perhaps leave "jumping off the top of the wardrobe" out of the mix for a while!

  18. So glad that Nick was okay. We've been through the same thing--twice. My husband in 2009 had pain in his right arm for two days but didn't mention it until he'd had a bad night and was a little sweaty on Saturday morning. We took him to the local clinic. He was having a heart attack. He was helicoptered to the hospital where a stent was put in. One year later, practically to the day, I was feeling "off" and had a pain in the back of my neck. We went to the same clinic. They didn't think it was a heart attack but sent me by ambulance to the hospital where they found out that it was. A stent wasn't possible so I ended up with double bypass surgery. Women's symptoms are so different from what men experience. If you ever feel something might be wrong, HAVE IT CHECKED IMMEDIATELY! I had NO typical symptoms. We're both fine now with meds and regular checkups.
