This post may be a little TMI but I just need a little reassurance and maybe a few ideas.
Ill try to make this as short as possible but we got married on June 6th and it was the most wonderful day ever! Then June 8th came and I started to develop a really nasty cold sore (thank you stress..) and it is slowly healing but this meant no kissing for us newly weds.. I haven't kissed my husband in 11 days (other than a little side peck). June 11th I was in the ER for a bladder infection and In a ton of pain this continued to worsen until this Tuesday when I went back in and the infection has spread to my kidneys... even more excruciating pain.. so as you could probably tell we haven't really been able to have much bedroom time since the 11th.. and I haven't had any energy to do anything (house, cleaning, cooking or otherwise)
On top of all this with my infections I obviously had a fever and because of this my work wouldn't allow me back until I had a COVID test. We knew the test would come back negative, the doctor even told me it was ridiculous my employer is even requiring it, but none the less remained cautious and husband and I tried to keep our distance.. no hugging.. no cooking together.. nothing.. worst part of it all is yesterday was my birthday and I was in so much pain and hadn't gotten the covid results back yet so i wasn't even able to get a hug or anything..
Thankfully i got the results this morning (it is negative) and I gave my husband the biggest hug ever when I found out, that made me feel a bit better. But I'm still in a lot of pain and my lip is taking its sweet time getting over the cold sore.
So here's were I need your help; today is my husbands birthday and I want to make it special. But I am just feeling a bit heartbroken on how distant we have had to be since we got married. So I need any suggestions on a newlywed date night ideas you may have. When you and your spouse are feeling a little down or distant what makes you feel better??
Any ideas or kind words would help TIA
