And to be honest I'm not sure what I think. Some of my sympathy goes with the narrator but I also find myself irritated with them.

I did this for ten years, and that was bad enough. People love to go on about "choices" and "freedom", but I find the ones who bang on about that the most aren't willing to see that the consequences of their choices don't just affect them. Some stuff has to be done as part of a team.Katherine Hajerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08270232675026751342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3337042377966398742.post-82829342871792315852013-01-14T18:49:17.452-05:002013-01-14T18:49:17.452-05:00I don't remember making your privy to these de...I don't remember making your privy to these details about my life! Like seeing him an attractive grey shade, wheezing that he was fine and didn't need to see a doctor on the first, second and third time his lung collapsed. Like him refusing the go to hospital when his bowel ruptured (though I over-ruled him). These days I ALWAYS go to the doctor with him. And will go to the pre-admission clinic next week, and into hospital on the morning of his next surgery. This piece is an uncomfortably close match - but brilliantly captured.

Mo...I also got that impression and I also approve.<br /><br />More than that, I'm continuously impressed by how much you've been conveying in such short little passages lately. Both Friday’s piece and this one hit hard with the depth of concrete “this is the reality of sharing your life with someone” details they’ve shared. It’s really amazing.<br />Bevimushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14924337684790883853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3337042377966398742.post-5192720020224391432013-01-14T10:51:37.954-05:002013-01-14T10:51:37.954-05:00Good for him!
