Well what a stressful day! I wasn't having any tests done today, just hubby! It was the test he had been dreading, Semen Analysis, one of the pretreatment requirments of my fertility clinic.
It was at a private hosp in a nearby town, rather than the fertility clinic as we had to get the test done at leats 5 days before our consents appointment booked for next week, so had to get it elsewhere. We had trouble getting parked , it was chocka!
I could see hubby getting more and more stressed with just the normal things of the morning, poor fella had worked at a supermarket all night long! and had stayed awake after to have this test- tired and under pressure - not a great combination! So Hubby got stressed with not getting a parking space , (he had wanted me to come in with him to reception at least for moral support), and so got out and stormed off to the clinic by himself, luckily a space free'd up just infront (I'm shocking at parking in tight spaces, we have a long car). Just then oh came out, and had been directed to a different building, and so back to plan, Devon and I went too.
The receptionist was sooo loud and woke Devon up straightaway, so back to entertaining him quietly , whilst fending him away from the cuppa machine and the doors and the bins for the next 30 mins.
Apparently he had to go in a room which was just a consultants normal room, bed, desk, and chair, no mags etc!! all very strange for him.
After we left, I tried to chat to OH on the way back to the car to make him feel better, and he snapped at me, and said he didn't want to talk about it, it's all worn a little thin.... So I drove us home in stoney silence and he went to bed for the day and I hate leaving things like that.
I woke him up for dinner and thought i'd steer clear of the subject , and he brought it up first and apologised, I said I totally understood why. I'd brought him his fav choc and chilli cookies ready to cheer him up, and so all sorted now! phew Good job Hubby only has to be involved for 2 more appointments this cycle...it's more stressful sorting someone else out , than yourself....
I will await the lovely invoice for this ....
