Gosh.. finally he steps up in some way and offers to inconvenience himself so that you can have it a bit easier and get off to work.. wow! Thats great, I am glad he is being less mean and also, more supportive. Also, I am a little envious yuo got to pour yuor feelings out in an email to him as I cant seem to do that, but its very healthy for you. Seeing as he then insisted on helping with K, I guess he must have really listened to what you said (or perhaps, like he said, he jist wanted to see his sick D).
