I'm going really well. Heading back to see the surgeon tomorrow which is exciting. I hope to lose the white stockings and perhaps even the bandages, although they are no big deal but I would like to check out the surgeon's handiwork. Walking is getting easier and I am looking forward to better sleep now that my wounds are healing. The lack of sleep probably explains my teariness anyway. It's getting boring being at home on my own and I crave some more company but all my friends and family are working people.
Last night's issue with H was so silly because it related to a school form and really wasn't too difficult. I think H was tired and grumpy and was using it as one of his 'pull back' strategies. He text earlier and was not helpful and then emailed a sensible response late tonight. It's annoying but it won't last.
His parents arrive tomorrow. That's exciting!
Like you, I tried pulling back quite seriously early on and it really did not work. He became really distant. I will just experiment but I still think being friendly and affirming works best. I just get grumpy and swear I'll never be nice to him again but I don't really mean it. I'm just too soft where he's concerned.
