Yesterday out of the blue a thought occured to me about your S. Do you think her hesistancy to skip work/reschedule work (to take you to the doctor's, and to go to the concert) has something to do with respecting herself, or you respecting her work? Since being back at work is something relatively new for her, maybe she feels that 1. she really can't reschedule/call in sick/whatever or 2. when people respect her work schedule they are also respecting her status as Working woman, and vise versa?
