I met my husband while working in a med/ sug floor. He was a visitor for someone, and he was supposed to leave at 8:30. But he didn't. It's a stressful time between 8:30 and 11:30 at night and we need the visitors out of there soon as possible. Meds need to go out,dressings changes, emotional needs to be met and Pre-op patients need attention.
So once again I walked into that room and politely asked this man to leave. He smiled, said he was going,and he winked at me. He is 6 6" and it was like having your father wink at you when you dropped something. I had an odd reaction. Attracted to him, but almost embarassed too.
In that room I had a post surgical patient who needed to have dressings changed and he needed his pain med before the change because he had drains, and other things that made him uncomfortable. So had to have the pain med first. All of these things needed to be done before night shift came on, as they had their own set of problems.
So he did see me coming in with the dressing cart, and did leave the room.
As I walked out, I see he is still hanging about the nurses station. He apologized again and asked m to go out for coffee. I guess the look on my face said it all. I had so much to do,yet.
So this guy began to answer some of the call bells and would write down what each patient needed. When they asked where their nurse was, he confidently told them, he was the doctor. He was A doctor, but not there!
He did manage to help me finish up quicker.
We went out for coffee, and he offered me a position at his office. I didn't see myself working in an office tho.
We had am immediate attraction, not just physical, but it was one that seemed was always there. We saw each other just about every night/day , even when we were exhausted from the day. We just missed each other, so much. Not the most romantic way to describe love, but it's one way.
Just about 6 weeks after meeting, he asked me to marry him. We did a few weeks of preparing, He did surprise me with a beautiful ring, but surprised me even more with the wedding ring he bought for himself. It is huge ( he does have big hands) and it is showy.
There is no doubt, that man is married. So. Just barely 3 months after meeting each other ,we were married.
We've have a good marriage, more than 20 years later we have 2 great daughters, and no regrets. But we lucked out, I would never recommend anyone jump into marriage that
Quickly.
