Greeneyedlass, thank you for those tips. I'll have to look into them.
Good news today: Only a couple more weeks and the brace...well, it won't come off completely, but I'll be able to bend my leg, which means I could start driving myself to work again. That gives me a little more freedom and removes a bit of the "mother" aspect from my wife.
I have another idea, too. Recently, I've been sending her little "love notes" via E-mail on a daily basis...nothing big, just a small love message. I'm going to modify those, to include more of the "I miss you, I miss us, I desire you" kind of messages, and the occasional "Remember when...{describe sexual encounter here}...that was wonderful, I wish we could recapture that feeling" kind of message. I'm not going for "porno" language here, but maybe "Harlequin romance" language. (She was a fan of those in high school, so she knows the type.) It may not do much of anything, but it may keep nudging her awareness of the issue. Thoughts? Am I onto something, or am I full of it?
