Hi Deb-

Yeah for your H for handling the Saturday AM tears in a kind (and correct!) way. And nice recovery on your part.

As far as his clumsy comment about his choice....sigh....we have to remember that sometimes (ahem, all the time) our Hs speak a different language. I can remember quite a few times battling with my H over word choice. He would finally give up and say, "Okay, now what do you want me to say?" LOL So, yeah, your H's response sounds to us pretty luke warm-all logic and no heart- but to him it was heart felt.

I am doing better! Thanks for caring. I had surgery on Thursday to remove a lump/mass/something! from my breast. It was scary, not from a cancer stand point so much as a disfigurment stand point. I tried my best to have a different attitude about this particular health situation. I did my best to see this through. I have a bad habit of putting health issues off until the breaking point. This has been a sore point for H in the past. He did tell me the other day that he was proud of how I handled this last episode.

He has been sweet to me. He even picked up all the leaves in the yard Sunday! About a 3 hour job that I always handle. Twice he brought me sliced apples and bananas for breakfast- each with it's own toothpick! LOL I had to laugh at that.

So...so far so good.

Dawn
