Tonight I walked in on Sam in our bed, changing the dressing on his heel.

Yes, his sore is still there and taking forever to heal. Eva still comes in to do the bandage in the morning, I’ve been changing it at night, and he’s been making an effort to not wear shoes as often as possible. I can tell this is something Sam is really worried about, but he doesn’t want to talk about it. He’s extremely close-mouthed about stuff that really bothers him.

I was surprised to see him changing the dressing himself. Obviously, he can do it himself, but after Dr. Jamison’s scary speech about the possibility of infection, I thought we decided that I was going to help him at night. It’s a lot faster and easier for me to help him with it, and up until now, he’d been okay with it.

(Well, maybe not entirely okay with it. But he was letting me do it.)

“I can do that,” I said.

“No, that’s okay,” he said.

“Sam, what’s wrong?”

“Nothing,” he said. “But, you know, you’re my girlfriend, not my nurse. I don’t want you to have to do these things for me. You’re not going to want to have sex with me if you’re looking at a big sore on my foot all the time.”

I wondered if this had anything to do with my lunch with Jake yesterday. “That’s silly,” I said. I sat at the edge of the bed by his foot.

“I mean it, Millie,” he said. “I don’t want you to do this anymore.”

There was nothing I could do to convince him. He was really adamant about this. I guess to some extent, he’s right. Foot sores are not sexy. But more than anything, I just want him to get better.
