If you were with a partner but another one had an emergency would you go to them or tell them you are busy? – Recent question asked about polyamory
Well, this week, that pretty much happened.
It wasn’t so much an “emergency”, but I had a partner that was dealing some significant pain due to chronic joint pain issues. It was at the level that had already sent her to the ER recently, so I grabbed my stuff and headed to her house.
When I arrived, I helped her to get the meds she needed, get settled into bed to rest, and I took care of the rest that needed to be done. I took time later to help massage the area that was inflamed, hoping to help with some relief.
I spent the night with her, just in case things flared up again overnight. I was ready to get her to the ER if needed. Fortunately, she got through the night and we were able to get her to the doctor first thing in the morning.
I spent the entire day there while she rested. I ensured she was cared for, that the dogs were let out as needed, and cooked dinner that evening. (Normally she cooks for me, so this was a special treat – my awesome 57 Meatloaf!)
By the evening, she was feeling significantly better. After dinner, she asked for a small massage to help redirect the pain, and I was happy to help in those efforts. Afterwards, I tucked her into bed and went back to taking care of other things there. Again, spending the night to ensure she was better the next day.
This morning, she’s in much better shape. She was very appreciative of the help, and for taking the time to be there for her. As I explained to her… this is my love, in action.
Life gets busy… but you can damn well expect that I will absolutely care for those I love. I was in full service mode, taking care of her to the best of my ability. And that’s what this is all about…
