I didn’t know Lion was feeling as bad as he was. I thought we were still dealing with his leg and whatever nausea he was having from the medicine he was taking. I did keep asking him if he wanted to go to the emergency room. Most people don’t really want to go to the emergency room, least of all Lion, so I didn’t think much of it when he didn’t. I’ve also been feeling nauseous off and on. I don’t usually get nauseous so it’s weird but nothing I can’t handle.

When Lion said we should leave as soon as he got himself shaved and dressed I knew it was serious. Luckily the emergency room was almost as empty as it was the last time he went on for kidney stones. He was taken right in. He had the CT scan within an hour or so. The first dose of morphine was shortly after that. Lion was in less pain then. Around the point that he was getting antsy, the doctor came in to tell him it was kidney stones but they were small and should pass on their own. And then he got another shot of morphine. Pain gone. Discharge papers in hand. Out the door.

Two things need to be done now. Lion needs to drink a lot of water to encourage that kidney stone to vacate the premises. And he needs to eat something. He afraid to eat because he’s nauseous. I get that. But I also wonder if he’s nauseous because he isn’t eating. I think he needs to tread lightly. Maybe some toast to start out. Maybe some crackers. Calm things. Things that won’t rock the boat too much. They don’t necessarily need to be nutritious. His stomach just has to get used to having something in it.

I may have my work cut out for me though. Lion can be a stubborn old cat. He likes to tell me what I should do for my health but he doesn’t always listen to what’s good for him. He knows I won’t punish him while he’s sick. However, I can keep a tally of how many times he doesn’t listen to me so I can punish him later. It all depends on his attitude toward my suggestions.

I’ve had a stuffy/runny nose and a slight cough since January. That’s how colds normally work with me. Recently my boss got the flu. At least that’s what she assumes it was. Fever, chest and head congestion, etc. Last night Lion said he felt like he was getting sick his throat was sore, his head was stuffy. He said I probably brought it home from work with me. It’s long been a joke of ours that I don’t really get sick, I’m just a carrier. Typhoid Mrs. Lion.

Lion will be in bed for a few days. Unfortunately, we’re supposed to take my son to dinner tomorrow. I hope Lion can remain vertical long enough to go with me. In the meantime, I’ll be playing nurse. I don’t mind. I just wish there was a way to make Lion feel better.

I was going to lock him back up last night but if he doesn’t feel well it’s just one more thing to worry about. If I thought it would give him warm fuzzies to worry about standing up or sitting down while peeing, I’d put the cage on in a heartbeat. If I thought he’d get any comfort out of being pinched while trying to find a position in bed where he could breathe, he’d be locked up. But I don’t. He’s certainly not going to try to masturbate while he’s sick. There’s very little risk he will while he’s not sick. At this point the cage is more of a reminder that I own my weenie. That’s less important than getting him well right now.

Lion clarified something for me from my post yesterday. I said he would have listened to me if I told him to stop masturbating. I didn’t think he’d need the cage for that when we first started. He disagrees. I guess we’ll never know.

Wednesday night I was feeling horrible. My nose was stuffed up and kept running. Isn’t that a paradox? Anyway, it was difficult to get to sleep and even harder to stay sleeping. I woke up at 3AM and watched a couple of “Match Game” recordings on our DVR. Then I fell asleep. It felt like I was sleeping only a short time when I woke up again. The programmed coffee pot was grinding the beans. My alarm was beeping. It was morning.

Something was different.

It’s hard to explain. I felt quiet. That’s the only word that makes sense. Some background noise had stopped. It took me a few minutes to realize that the pain was gone.

All of it.

Here I was, stuffed nose, coughing, but still feeling peace. I thought my shoulder pain has been gone most of the time and only flared at night or after physical therapy. I was wrong.

My shoulder has been hurting me for over a year. I learned to ignore most of it. Apparently, when I thought I was pain free, the pain was in the background. Yesterday, it was completely gone. And I felt something that felt totally new: no shoulder pain. I’m not saying that I don’t hurt all the time. My shoulder reminds me painfully when I move in a way that it doesn’t like. But then the pain stops. Stops.

Every morning since a year ago last month, my shoulder complained loudly when I woke up. Yesterday, it didn’t hurt at all.

I know I am nowhere near recovering. I have to painfully gain range of motion. I get physical therapy three agonizing days a week. But if I can feel like this even part of the time, I know the suffering is worthwhile.

What does this have to do with enforced chastity and FLR? Not a thing.

I still have a cold and my interest in sex still seems low. Who knows? Maybe no distraction from pain will help my libido. Maybe a spanking will hurt more than my shoulder. Well, I’m sure that will be true.

It’s the beginning of a new day for me. My head is stuffy. I’m coughing. I am light-headed. Who cares? I’m pain free!

I took a page out of Lion’s book and did some research into why Lion isn’t ejaculating when he has an orgasm. For younger men, the major cause is too many orgasms within a short time period. For older men, it’s usually because of prostate or other urinary surgery. Other than that, it’s generally caused by side effects of drugs. Bingo! While I don’t really know what the side effects for the narcotic are, I’m fairly sure that either it, or the anesthesia has thrown Lion for a loop in the ejaculation department.

If you remember, Lion did have surgery for kidney stones several months ago. After that, he ejaculated fine. His semen production was somewhat low, but he did have some. The issue has only occurred after his shoulder surgery. He was given an antibiotic that we know alters his sense of taste. That lasted for quite a long time. I don’t know what anesthesia he was given, but it stands to reason that he may have had side effects from all the sources that contribute to his lack of ejaculation.

While I love Lion’s cum, I’m just happy that orgasms still feel good to him. I’m not worried about my loss of a crème-filled Lion. Sure, it’s a tasty snack, but my goal is a happy Lion. If he said his orgasms were no longer satisfying, then we’d have a bigger problem. So far I’m running under the theory that the semen will return when it’s ready. Lion is moving toward eliminating the narcotic and once that happens, I think things will get back to normal.

On the other hand, I wonder if it’s possible that Lion is subconsciously doing it to himself. Maybe he’s worrying that things won’t return to normal in the sense of female led relationship, domestic discipline and male chastity. He could be worrying about his recovery and whether he’ll get full use of his arm back. He could still be worrying that I’ll leave him because he’s needed so much help lately. Worrying about things has many side effects all by itself.

From my point of view, I’m wondering if he’ll ejaculate if I start playing with him again. Does he need some pain to go with that pleasure? I wondered if I just teased him enough, would that get the juices flowing? Maybe my concept of giving him an orgasm every few days to ease back into things is all wrong. Maybe he just needs to be played with and edged and made to wait for the semen production line to start up again.

Even though I don’t really think it’s a big deal, I’m willing to try anything to help Lion. The last thing I want to do is put more pressure on him. We can try different things, but I figure it will just randomly happen when it happens.
