New M, new WAW

[mako]

Well, W was worse today, stayed in bed all day yet had a good bit of shortness of breath, and her test came back positive. About 4 hours ago she said she would think about going to the hospital if she got worse but I haven't heard from her since she went to bed about 3 hours ago. So far me and the kids are still fine, we went and got tested tonight, so keeping our fingers crossed.

The most curious thing, and most applicable to this board, is how I feel. The fact is I don't feel that much. If this happened 6 or 9 or even 3 months ago I would have been terribly concerned for her, worried about how she's feeling and hopeful that she's improving...right now I just feel like how I imagine I'd feel if my coworker got it. Concerned for a fellow human I know who's sick, concerned that I don't want something to happen to my kids' mom for their sake, but nothing particularly more special than that. I guess that's a sign of detachment, but to be honest I'm having a bit of guilt about it. I'll need to go over this with my IC next time we meet.
