You're right! The selfishness still shocks me sometimes. I guess it's because I see improvements and although I tell myself to have no expectations, I still do. Anyway, he did text me later in the evening and he seemed fine. He does seem keen to keep the status quo.
The kids are great but they are pretty sick, esp s17 who has been ill since sunday. I went to the doctor tonight and got some preventative medication just so I can stay in the best possible condition ready for surgery. I have been waiting for my surgery for 7 months so I don't want to put it off now.
Thanks for asking about my surgery. I'm excited and a bit scared about it! It's the beginning of a whole new phase for me.
