My honey is sick

So sad... Pat got home from practice today looking so sick. He was pale, and had the chills all over. I feel so bad for him, I hate it so much when he's sick. A couple things about him being sick. Number one, I am a nurse, so most of the time I go a little overboard with asking him way too many questions about what is wrong with him, trying to figure out what is the cause. Number two, I go way overboard with trying to make him comfortable, asking him a million questions to see if he needs or wants anything. Although i know he loves that I care, he probably thinks, woman leave me alone and let me sleep... but it is really hard for me to do. Every time he coughs or rolls over and makes basically any noise I rush into the room to check on him. 
The weird thing about him feeling sick today is he usually gets home just about 9, so i called him at about 915 asking where he was. All he said was, Im so sorry if you cooked dinner, but Im not going to be able to eat it, my stomach really hurts. Even when he is sick, he is always thinking about me. He's really that nice. Anyway this is the crazy part, as soon as he said it, I immediately felt nauseated. It was crazy, like twins when they feel each others pain, hahaha, I seriously started to feel sick and my stomach hurt. Nothing we ate today was the same, so I know I am not sick. I know that is crazy, but seriously i did not feel well.The good thing is that I haven't cooked in 2 days, so this cannot be my fault! Anyway we figured it after he vomited so forcefully, I was getting a little nervous. In the 10 years that we have been together, I have never seen him vomit. So now I have. And afterward, i instantaneously felt better, as did he. He will probably get sick a few more times but, he's on toward feeling much better.
Aside from Pat being sick, things in Tenerife are going good. Pat played an away game, and him and his team pulled out a victory. Close but we won! Pat played well scoring 15 points, so that is always nice. Also this past weekend we went to the beach Saturday and Sunday, but it was really cloudy and windy, so we didn't stay long. After the beach Sunday, we decided to drive to the south and go to Jungle park. There are only about 27 white lions in the world, and at this jungle park there was one. It was pretty cool to see. A little disturbing, however, was the fact that they had so many birds, vultures, bald eagles, just to name a few. Rather than putting most of them in cages, they are shackled to the ground, allowing them about a few feet of space to walk. It really hurt my heart to see this. For some reason it just hit me a lot harder than seeing them in cages. At least they can fly in cages. Needless to say, that kind of put a damper on the trip, but it was fun nonetheless. 
In other news, I just finished 2 weeks of school here, but Im going to take the next two weeks off. Pat's parents are coming on Fri, and staying for a long weekend, so we are just so excited. They are going to be able to see him play on Saturday. Last year they came, but were unable to see him play, so it's pretty exciting...i just hope he is 100% by then, which I'm sure he will be.
Well I think that is about it for now... until more exciting news comes along.
