I could shave his eyebrows off and he wouldn't notice for two days..which is a big deal, because his eyebrows take up about 3/4 of his face. I'm totally kidding, it's only about 1/4. :)<br /><br />The constant lack of sleep is the main reason I'm so looking forward to the end of residency this summer. It takes its toll eventually, and I just want him to be healthy. I can't wait to "reclaim" my husband and fill him full of wholesome food (not hospital cafeteria goo), and see him finally get some decent sleep!<br /><br />(I don't really shave his eyebrows when he sleeps, I just push his lifeless form over to the other side of the bed so I have more elbow room.) :)Jamie Lambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05545375584768570518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8598862945390612019.post-78100154738294083902012-02-22T14:40:49.575-08:002012-02-22T14:40:49.575-08:00Oh, my heart goes out to you and your husband!

That kind of deep-seated, unavoidable exhaustion is so taxing to the system - not to mention to your relationship, to his happiness, etc. I hope his next rotation is much better!Life of a Doctor's Wifehttp://lifeofadoctorswife.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8598862945390612019.post-91939578182117684242012-02-22T14:05:20.568-08:002012-02-22T14:05:20.568-08:00My DrH can go crazy like that for about 4-5 days m...My DrH can go crazy like that for about 4-5 days max and then the first chance he gets to rest, he will sleep as long as it possible. I know when he says he is going to go and study in the bedroom it means that he will really be sleeping next to an open text book. I couldn't do what they do.... I need my sleep and lots of it.From A Doctors Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02410694740641116438noreply@blogger.com
