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.

well, he's not dying. you'll sleep eventually.

FHL.

lawlz. that's really funny.

anime Is awesome and everyone needs to watch it

OP here - ok, so they were "graphic novels" and not comic books... but "graphic novels" are just comic books in a little better binding and more intense blood & gore. When he called at 5 a.m., he honestly thought that I would have turned the phone off. He's in the hospital and still not 100% out of the woods but getting there, and other procedures that need to be done are scheduled for "whenever we can get you in", but he couldn't fathom why I would have the phone right beside my head, and why I would answer in a panic because of a call from the hospital at that hour.

If i were the op i would have jumped into his hospital bed, here in london its seen as fine, allows someone to keep an eye on person

I wonder, if this situation were reversed, would people still be making all these comments about her being so weakened from being "sleep deprived" that she would get sick, die in a car accident, or be unable to function? If she were a man would people be saying, "Suck it up and grow a pair, don't complain about being weak just go help your woman"? Seriously, not getting an optimal amount of sleep for A FEW days is not as big of a deal (for a man OR a woman) as some people are making it out to be. On topic: If someone I loved were in the hospital for something that had put their life at risk, I would simply be greatful that they were recovering. I think she deserves it because the fact that she posted this and made her still-recovering husband look like a jerk shows that on at least some level she cares more about her comfort than his. Posting an FML about my loved one's slight inconsideration after being potentially fatally ill would be the farthest thing from my mind.

if your husband was as sick as you say he was, shouldn't you be grateful for this annoyance he caused you? at least he's still alive to piss you off.

96 hours is four days?

Don't really see why this is a "fml" and such a big deal... I was leaning more towards you should be saying "tgfmhl"... "thank god for my husbands life". My husband was in the hospital for 4 days and you couldn't make me leave.. not even for dinner. I had other family members bringing me food and as for sleep I sucked it up, laid on the uncomfortable couch, said my prayers, and slept when he slept. If your husbands life was "in danger" in my opinion you should of just been grateful that he was well enough to even want to read the comic books. Dont know about your vows.. but mine said "for better or worse.. sickness and in health." I couldn't have left... but to each their own.. I just don't think him wanting something to read was that big of a deal... yes, the hospital couches are more than uncomfortable.. but think about how he was feeling... Just my opinion..

3 days is only 72 hours. where'd the other 24 come from?
