Today, after three days of hospital camping with my very sick husband, he was finally out of danger when I left last night to get my first good night's sleep in almost 96 hours. He woke me at 5 a.m. with a phone call asking me to bring him comic books because he's bored. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my husband came home from the hospital after having painful surgery, so I decided to make him a nice big breakfast. As I was taking it up to him, I heard a message on the phone. It was from one of his nurses. She was accepting his offer of a date. FML
Today, I finally finished a gruelling shift at the hospital. I hadn't slept in over 30 hours, so I was happy to get out. I was quickly rushed back in after I collapsed in the parking lot and cracked my head open. FML
Today, I am exhausted and can barely move after being up all night taking care of my drunk and vomiting husband. He, on the other hand, feels much better and is bounding with energy. FML
Today, I've been horribly sick with a stomach virus. Six hours ago, I asked my husband to go to the store and get me a few things that would help ease my misery. He's still in bed and I'm cleaning the house in between bouts of vomiting. FML
Today, due to an emergency, I have worked for 21 hours non stop. When I got home at 6 a.m. I fell into bed and stuck to the sheets. Only then, just as he was going to work, did my husband yell up the stairs that the sheets needed washing because he spilled his cough medicine all over the bed when he woke up. FML
Today, my husband is miserable. He couldn't sleep. He tried to make me feel bad for sleeping through the night. I was medicated from a brain scan. His is work is horrible, and no one understands, etc. He's mad that I took a walk. Now, as I am frustrated and crying, he is laughing on the phone with his coworkers. FML
Today, after spending two days pampering my sick fiancee and her sick son, they were finally feeling better. I woke up feeling rotten and said I needed to rest. She said, "Okay, but I want to deep clean today. Let's go! Out of bed! Up up!" FML
Today, my husband, who has been in a coma for 5 weeks, woke up. When I went to visit him, the first thing he did was try and continue the argument we had been having before he crashed the car. FML
Today, I went to the hospital due to extreme sickness. My boyfriend saw this as an opportune time to take another girl out since I was "otherwise preoccupied." FML
Today, after having surgery, I called my family to tell them I was out, safe, and on my way home. The first thing they asked was if they could "borrow" some of my pain meds. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Um correct me if Im wrong but isn't 3 days 72 hours? OP you have done well looking after him when he is in hospital and you need your sleep. Simple fact is if you are too tired then you are in danger of crashing. I hope you told him you would be there in a couple of hours so you could get more sleep. I don't think he was being selfish though, his body clock is probably all over the place and he either didn't realise the time or just didn't think. Also to the commenter somewhere above it is very possibleto die from lack of sleep, things just start to shut down. You are more likely to die from a fatigue induced accident than from the actual fatigue tho.

after reading some of the above posts I feel like it's assumed the husband was aware his lady was by his side the whole time and was just being a dick...consider it's possible he had not been aware depending on how serious his condition

This is very true. He could have been sedated or asleep most of that time, which would explain his messed-up sleep schedule.

to me, that "fml" implies some resentment or anger. if she wasn't upset about it, she wouldn't consider her life f'ed, ya know?

I don't see how that is an fml. I mean, either give him the comic books and go back to sleep or just say no and fall asleep. duh.

You're a bitch. If he was "very sick" then just be happy that he is all right.

oh come on! if my wife were in there for three days, on a hospital cot or sprawled over seats, getting vety broken sleep at best, I would hope I wouldn't be selfish enough to pull that shit! he couldn't have waited another few hours?! she's not a bitch. she's ******* exhausted! he's likely not a total asshole. a lot of men get very self absorbed when they're unwell (me included). but comics? he couldn't have asked a nurse for a magazine from a waiting room?! are there TVs? maybe a bit more sleep? I bet she got him the comics. she's just venting with a bunch of anonymous people to get some perspective. well OP, ignore the assholes on here! I hope you get some rest. you're a good wife!

wow that was a mission of a comment.... but dude she coulda just said no instead of posting oan tha internet bout him and making him look like a douche

yeh! i always write too much. lol. regardless of whether she said yes or no, I think she wants anonymous input to get perspective. she's probably on the fence about whether her (exhausted) emotional reaction is legitimate. but he doesn't look like a douche. this is all fairly anonymous.
