Yeah I told H about moving the mattress and he went off on me tonight. Full blown tirade for about 90 seconds. I just let him do it, it was totally expected. He couldn't believe I would do something so stupid, probably set my foot back another 2 months, what if I had fallen down the stairs and knocked myself out since I was hindered by my ankle, who would have been around to pick the kids up from school if I was unconscious on the floor, besides I could have scratched up the walls since I was probably unsteady moving the mattress down the stairway, etc.....
I didn't challenge his argument, just sat there. Then said, "So is the gist of it that you are afraid I scratched the wall?"
H: No! It is that you shouldn't do that with your foot, you could have hurt yourself.
Me: So really you are just worried about me right now?
H: Yes! You shouldn't have carried the garbage out and shouldn't have moved the mattress. You could have really hurt yourself and something could have happened to you. You have a million other ways to get the house ready to sell. What were you thinking?
Me: Actually, in light of my IC appointment today, I was thinking that I needed to take care of myself b/c I am close to making my own decision about us and I may have to start taking care of myself....
H: Well, I was just worried about you. I will talk to you later.
