For many years I have suffered from an arthritic hip. Just before before the world blew apart with Covid-19 I had surgery that replaced my diseased pieces with shiny titanium and ceramic.
Yesterday the surgeon had his 6 week peek with an xray and I was told I can now drive again and have sex (with certain restrictions).
I've been home bound for 6 weeks.
At the 3 week mark I started to feel horny and also wanted the high I get from teasing the hell out of my dear sub husband. It was a moment for both of us.
He whispered: "Oh how I have missed that laugh!" as I pinched and twisted his nipples and yes - laughed. When I torture him I do laugh - I giggle - its fun and thrilling. I couldn't do much, but it was enough for both of us. I was inching back into my old self.
After surgery my leg felt like it was a giant swollen log. It was an effort to move it and it felt alien. It went from almost dead weight to feeling like a strange slab of meat - heavy and floppy... and then it moved into a leg with little meat platters scattered here and there. I still have some swelling but it is minimal now - and just as I was able to get rid of the walker for a cane, I am now able to walk part of my day without the cane.
Why am I sharing this?
Because it is about life's challenges and how we meet them while we are also in this love relationship which includes Domme/sub. I had to rely and still do - on my husband for certain things I cannot do until I am fully healed. I wondered if or how it might affect the balance between us. Directly after surgery and in the thick of it I never once thought about it. Instead I thought about what I needed to do to get through my day and how I would do with my physical therapy. Not one thought of D/s or even sex until that night in bed when I felt that tingle between my legs and then reached over to pinch that nipple.
Slowly things are returning to our normal. I do not yet have my stamina back. 6 more weeks of PT and healing are ahead.
While things were on hold, they held - the relationship held. I attribute this to our love and our respect for one another.
I am one very fortunate motherfucker.
