This was a brutal time for us. My wife felt absolutely miserable, which is easy to understand. For me it was a different story. I hate vomiting. I hate the sight of it, the sound of it, and the smell of it. I realize that no one loves it (although, somewhere out there, people probably exist who relish the sensation). However, there are people who can manage being around sick people and clean up vomit without blinking an eye. They are capable of wallowing in the stuff and barely flinch. These creepy bodily functions are just no big deal for them. I could never understand how they did that. Not me though. Just hearing someone retch from afar can make me gag. So, I actually fear being around anyone who may be ill or is getting ill. Needless to say this was a huge challenge.
