Well DS managed to figure out how to work the XBox with one hand...He's gonna be fine! Thank you everyone for your well wishes!
CW..Doc said 2 weeks before he is sure he won't need surgery. Wow a femur on such a little tyke! Bet you could still carry her around but I imagine a leg would be far more challenging than an arm.
Last night I texted H that we were in ER. Took 15 min to reply but after that he was responding right away, kept asking questions, asked if he should come, was really attentive. ???
H came over. Texted from the drive..."Here". (I had left the garage door open.) Ds16 was in the garage and the 3 of us chatted about her car needing new tires. (He checked out my boobs and smiled) I wandered back into the house. H hung out in garage, going thru the file cab for old contracts.
I could sense he was uncomfortable being here. He came into the kitchen and ran back out. The next time, he came in, asked me a question and ran out. The next time, he came in and walked over to sees DS and his arm splint. He ran out again...Awhile later he came in and asked me to help him stake the tree. Then he worked on DS's computer.
I asked him if he had plans for the summer. He said it was too far away. No, school is out a week from Tues and does he plan on spending any time w/ kids. Yeah, I'm around he said, did I think he dropped off the face of the earth? Well yeah! I told him I wanted to plan a trip to Chicago and one to the beach after the cast comes off DS. H says, I'm still confused. Oh... When his worlds collide, he zones out. So, now that I've asked, I feel free to do whatever and not let his plans interfere.
After that I was on my bedroom patio, he came out and asked me to help him w/DD18's car. ????Scoped out the bedroom on the way back thru.. I know nothing about cars but i pointed at the radiator and said steam comes out of there...
We chatted about DD18 and her car while he putzed with it. He asked if there was anything else he could do. No , he said make a list and he would come soon.??? I don't know why it came out but it did...I asked him if he had time to join DS and I at the pizza place. No, he had to get to a shop before it closed. OK bye, i waved him out and closed the garage door.
Then he texts "thanks for the offer"
Then he calls and leaves a voicemail.
Then he calls again...I answer this one. He wants to chat some more about DD car, and other minor kid stuff he hasn't been around to hear. hmmmmm. He got pretty comfortable over the 3 hours eh.
Theeennn, he emails that he "heard from someone" that DD18's FB wall was public and I should check into it. I replied "Who's the stalker looking up our daughters FB??" Later, after checking with her, I emailed she didn't know it was and changed it.
Weird weird day. I felt nothing. Just kinda watching him from a distance. After he left, the sadness jumped in but didn't last long. Now that I am here, I am wondering what it all means. Been gone 20 weeks.......
