The other night around 2am, I was startled awake from a deep deep sleep by my lovely wife, Julie. Something caused her to wake up and look at me and think I was falling off the bed. She did what any good wife would do, which is scream into the face of a sleeping husband, "ARE YOU FALLING OFF THE BED?!?!" I woke up, like any normal person would do if someone screamed in their face in the middle of the night and answered her, "No."
She promptly fell back asleep and left me laying there wide awake for about thrity minutes trying to get my heart rate to slow down to normal.
She later explained that she didn't want to reach out to save me because she was afraid to grab onto my injured shoulder. I thought this was funny, because in the split second that she thought I was falling off the bed, she had the awareness to remember about my injury, but not the awareness to realize that if I truly was falling, I would have hit the ground by then.
At least I know she cares....
