zig - I appreciate the "words from the wise". It may not seem much to you but it means the world to me.
Can't afford the coach - long distance from Cape Town is not really an option - and I did it before and I'll do it again - just got to get the W to realise we DO have problems that need addressing.
Being calm is a hard thing to do when it seemed to be going so well only to get the bombshell at lunchtime.
I've been taking it easy as much as I can - work has been very understanding and supportive. I'm getting back to the pre-accident mac
My doc(s) have been surprised at how well I've done! I have a feeling that something connected to this has caused my W to do what she's done. She wouldn't believe that I wasn't 100% better so I printed out a couple of pages from the 'net showing that what had happened to me can take time to heal. I have a feeling she now feels very pressurised (and maybe feeling a little annoyed with herself). She hates to be proven wrong! And I'm not asking/looking for sympathy.
I'm definitely going to avoid walking on hot coals around the W and letting her make demands. After all I've been supporting her staying at home for the last year. And kicking and screaming is something that I would love to hear from her - some outburst to show that she's thinking about things and not resigned to the D.
Once again zip, thanks so much for the post. Appreciated and I'm going to be following you around
