I'm sorry to hear about your surgery, and am glad that it turned out ok. That's a big relief!
You know, I might be wrong here, but I had a thought. During the past few weeks, it seems that you and CAW have experienced and practiced more "mutual care-giving". It doesn't seem to be as one-sided as it may have been in the past.
Is there a possibility that this may be having a positive effect on your relationship right now? (Even though you both have been feeling like crap! Hope you're better now!)
It's kind of what I was alluding to in my "mysterious response" earlier in this thread. Remember how much the "see-saw effect" can play a role in relationships.
Again, hope you both are feeling better, and my best wishes to you and yours in this New Year, my friend!!
