Oh, and here's anothber change ( unrelated to the ankle stuff). Today we had a parent-teacher conference for my son, and H came along. In the past I always handled these things alone. I was at the school a lot and was good at schmoozing with the staff. And when it came to the conferences, there was no need, in my mind, to bother H with any of it; they were MY children ( I had a little of Heather's H in me) and I knew what to say and how to handle things.
Now I tell H in advance if there's a meeting, and he adjusts his schedule. ( In the past he would have grumbled, so kudos to him fo making changes as well). I try to shut up and not monopolize the conversation. I pause to let H give his input. I look at him. Today, he made time to take me out to breakfast as well...super nice!
