Us men

I've been under the weather recently, the flu or a cold, or I suspect something far more serious that really is deserving of a generous dose of sympathy.
So you can imagine my dismay when informing Mrs Grumpyshyscotsman ( who will be referred to from this point on as ' The Missus') of the terrible state of ill health I was in and how god only knows how I could actually work, that she retorted with a unreasonably long and far too detailed account of how she had woken up feeling 'ill'.

Now I ask you, is this a right and proper way to deal with the health and well being of a spouse (me) . I mean, there is no way she could have matched my cold/flu symptoms. I also think it was rather selfish of The Missus, to pick the same day to , well lets face it, to 'feel a bit off color' ( in comparison of course ).
As I said, this aliment I have is probably something really bad, something I should get checked out quick-smart, because thanks to the internet, I have a wide and in-depth knowledge of medical matters. Again, as I have said, The Missus's complaints ( and that's what they are ) I very quickly managed to diagnose as, possible trapped wind, 'wimmins' troubles or lying in bed too long.
I haven't mentioned my interpretations of her symptoms yet because for some strange reason, that makes me think it is in fact , number two of my diagnosis's...'wimmin's' troubles and it would be a brave man indeed to go down that road.

So, to sum up, I thought it might help my body if my mind was clear, that's why, even when I should be in my sick bed, I decided to share my thoughts on this interweb thingy. It hasn't worked.
So its plan B for me, a whiskey toddie and off to bed.
