In the course of rehab my husband has been trusted with certain types of duties. I generally trust him in most things, unless he gets that crazy gleam in his eyes.
You might think I’m exaggerating, but you haven’t seen those shiny eyes bearing down on you like it might be your last day.
EVER.
E-V-E-R.
So, a few months ago we got a device that would help us work muscles that don’t work on their own. It was called E-Stim…for Electrical Stimulation. It would electrocute muscle groups to help them remember how to move.
The only word my husband heard was: electrocute.
My leg have moved funny. Let’s electrocute them!
My fingers started stirring. Let’s electrocute them!
My arm has is reaching new heights. Let’s electrocute it!
Orphans have saved baby seals. Let’s electrocute them!!!
You get the picture.
Today, we went to our acupuncturist and I didn’t feel good enough for a session. My husband did and I encouraged him to keep his appointment.
Halfway through the session I asked my dearly beloved a favor.
“Can I stab you with a needle?”
“NO!”
“Please?”
“NO!”
“Why not?”
“Why would I let you stick more needles in me?”
“So, you’ll quit asking me if you can electrocute me all the time.”
“But I do it with your best intentions in mind.”
“Obviously I do too. Let me stab you once and you’ll see.”
This went on for a little while.
He never let me stab him.
Clearly, he doesn’t value my love.
Oh that gives a whole new meaning to “POKE!” doesn’t it.
Oh, my…if my own husband weren’t so dang nice, and willing to cause me pain in the name of good, your’s might be in jeopardy from my feminine wiles! LOL
I’m so impressed that you asked first.
Less impressed that you took no for an answer.

We used e-stim on my sons foot when he had his stroke. Coolest thing ever. I put it on my hand to check it out…wow.
You make me laugh. That is good.

THANK YOU!!!! I so needed that laugh today! Keep up the monumental awesomeness Anissa!
Some husbands are just no fun! Although, have you thought of how much fun it might be to not only poke him with a needle but to then ELECTROCUTE that needle? He probably has, which is why he said no!
That’s just wrong. Being married should have some benefits.

That is one smart man!!!

Come ON! Doesn’t he know how therapeutic that would be for you? And I’m TOTALLY talking about increasing your range of motion and strengthening your needle grip (not at ALL about revenge).
NEEDLE GRIP! Even better than KUNG FU GRIP!
NOT FAIR!!!! Come on — you totally deserve to be the stabber just once!

Hah! Sounds like interesting times… GL getting to poke him. Heh. ;D
Hmmmmm. i think I need that machine! Does it make brains work better? Husbands do laundry!? I bet I can figure out a way…
I’ve seen that gleam come about him before – it’s scary and I am NOT the one being electrocuted.
Come on Pete – just let her stab you, just once. Anissa – repeat after me “it won’t hurt, I promise”

OMG, you are so incredibly funny. That sounds just like an exchange (obviously on a different subject) my husband and I might have. I think you should ask him at random points during the day if you can stab him with a needle to make something work better.
.-= Kristin´s last blog ..A Better Middle =-.
LOL!! Now, I want to know how long it takes before he asks if he can eletrocute you again!!
Clearly.
He probably doesn’t trust that arm might “accidentally” spasm and maim his manhood..or some other parts.

I can’t possibly fathom why on earth he would not let you stab him? WTF Pete get on the team man … LOL… nice try Niss
its not like you were even asking him if you could stab him with 2 needles at once…geez, he is a spoil sport…*snort*
