“May I put on socks for you?” My husband asked when I was lying facedown on bed.

It was the first time he attempted to make me feel better since my bloody problem so I said yes. Such a nice gesture. Every men should learn this for their other half.

Is it because my calves are swollen due to water retention or did I put on extra weight there that he was having difficulty and taking so long to put on socks on for me? I wondered.

Oh it felt tight.

I thought he was putting compression socks from the hospital because those were really tight, expensive and supposed to help in preventing blood clots. That is so smart of him to think of putting them on for me because he remembered the benefits plus I have three pairs now which are collecting dust in my drawer.

Something did not feel quite right and I looked. My dear husband had put on my pink 2XU compression socks for running. I have not worn those in years too because they look weird in those organiser pictures taken during running events, plus I stopped running marathons since starting fertility treatments. I have no idea what is in his mind that made him chose them.

I had been bleeding for close to three months and I have no energy left to lash out on him.

Nonetheless, thank you for socking me and I love you hubby.

Sorry there hasn’t been any action lately. 🤗
