PsySara,

Just making it through surgery this week is an accomplishment. That's also so great and fun to celebrate your daughter's birthday. Your kids must be on holiday break now right?

I hope with the time this weekend you'll be able to connect with your husband. Sounds like it could be an important weekend since it'll give you insight into what he's thinking if you can spend that time alone together. With everything you wrote recently there'd be no reason to believe your husband wouldn't want the emotional intimacy you do. If it goes well this weekend then maybe you'll be officially on the path towards full reconciliation. Or at least you'll have the feeling that this positive trajectory has been sustained long enough to mean something. Good luck!
