Foot surgery - lots of crutch-time

Phew. I'm glad that 60K I paid to Lesley University was worth it.
Just kidding. But, I was seriously astounded at how mean my friend was to her husband. I figured out what it stemmed from after awhile, when I realized that she does not deal well with change and that her DH does almost everything. There's a reason we are friends... we're both kind of alike which some see as selfish, but I think she surpasses me. I always say I keep my compassion for work, but really when my DH broke both wrists and had to have surgery on one and splint the other, the only thing I said I wouldn't do was, ah, wipe his bum . He figured it out, although I think he asked for help from DSs a couple of times.

I think I find this particularly funny because I often hear myself say the same thing in my head from time to time.

Yeah, this has definitely be a learning experience. One big thing I have learned is that my husband lacks the 'nurturing' gene. I kind of suspected it by seeing how he deals with our animals, but this just confirmed it. It also makes me very glad that we decided against having children a long time ago.

My surgery is at 7:30 tomorrow morning and we have to be at the hospital at 6 am. Oy, that's early. Luckily, I won't be expected to have any energy, so I should be able to handle it.

Good luck, GLC.
And for what it's worth, the couple I described doesn't have any kids, either. And, that was a really good decision for them, although he would have been a fabulous parent. It was a miracle we found them, just when both of our kids were gone. Our "regular" friends are fat, inactive, and laugh at our tales of our adventures.

Good luck GLC. Who's doing the surgery?

Jakob Langer at Tuality in Hillsboro.

Speaking of which, here is a funny coincidence...tonight we just sold our bowflex to someone off craigslist. Turns out, he's the head of PT for Tuality and could very well end up treating me! Small world!

What a coincidence! Sounds like the universe is lining things up for you.

Hope it goes well today! Thinking about you, sending hugs.
