So sorry about the arm, M! Not a fun thing to deal with.
Change is a good sign in your wife...it means she is changing something in her thought process. Concern and communication does trump indifference. Her feelings are evolving. I like your attitude about it, though. Not to get your hopes up or change your path in DBing right now. Wait and see...wait and see. Patience and calm are your greatest assets, it seems, on this journey. You are well equipped in that area.
I always see signs and symbolism in life. Your broken wing seems to be showing that if something is broken, it doesn't break your life...as much as it hurts. You just have to work around it, be a little more flexible and creative, take things a little slower, ask for help when necessary, and understand that the pain will go away on its own time. Be patient and understand that it will heal in its own way (with proper care) eventually. Isn't it true that a healed break is stronger than the bone was originally?
Have patience and take care, M. Be well.
