For Mrbleaney and others

[img]smileys/smilies_01.gif[/img] Hi, I am under mrbleaney's account, because I do not have one at this time.</span></font>

I am not an emet, but my fiance Mrbleaney is.
Just two days ago I was in a car accident that resulted in some
bruising on my chest due to the seatbelt. The EMTs on scene left
in lieu of my not feeling enough pain to go directly to a triage
center. When we arrived home I did make the decision to go to the
hospital for a chest x-ray to be sure there was no fracture around the
sternum area. The results as stated earlier were only
bruising. There were a lot of people in the waiting area when we
arrived at the hospital, and bleaney was unsure as to who had what and
to what extent. I suggested that if he was uncomfortable that he
go wait outside and I would be fine. Subsequently he went outside
and I came out a few times to update him. Closer to the time I
was called back bleaney came in and comforted me despite his fears of
what kind of sickness floated about or was "catchable" even if no
physical contact occured. [img]smileys/smilies_04.gif[/img]
I was very greatful that bleaney was there for me! After waiting
5 or more hours, we phoned home (E.T. phone home hehe) and waited for
our ride to arrive. Although bleaney and I got into some
tricky territory with some important issues being brought up at a
not-so appropriate time, he was still constantly supportive and early
on apologized for the turn in conversation. When we got home he
and I immediately took our contaminated clothes off and I took a
shower. He washed our clothes then took a shower as well. I
want to say also that through all of this he was VERY supportive and
was able to be there for me in more ways than I can express. We
even played a few computer games together, and he did not freak out
when I touched the computer or anything else in the room. Bleaney
has been able to do all but kiss my on my lips--hugging me (but not too
tight b/c of the chest pain), kissing me on my forehead, holding my
hands, caressing me, and also reassuring me that it will be o.k.
I am EXTREMELY proud of bleaney and want this community to know that
there are understanding and supportive significant others despite their
phobia, and that I applaud anyone else who is an emet who has been able
to be there in a time of crisis like my bleaney has. I love

I have been an EMET as long as I know and I am 41. I have a wonderful husband who is supportive of my fears, and while he may not understand how this feels, he is there for me 100% when I need him to be. We have a son who was sick last week and my husband missed a very important meeting to go with me to my sons Dr. I was afraid he would be sick or another kid would be and I would freak out. He missed his meeting and went for me. I cannot tell you how wonderful it is to find other partners of EMETs who are "THERE" for us especially when you need us and we cannot give 100% of ourselves and you understand that the bit we do is such a great expression.


Your MrBleaney is a lucky guy and I hope you feel better soon.
