Wow we had a weekend like that--and he was off the entire time--It was a frustrating morning on Sunday as again I was the one who had to bring up the topic of mainenance on our relationship. As frustrating as it is it does help me to talk--although it often times seems as though I do most of the talking--he normally just agrees and really I think for the most part he agrees with most of what I say. I am constantly reminding myself that the man I fell in love with is still there--deep down inside every once in a while I see a part of the old Daniel and I am reassured that everything is OK.
When we were talking this weekend I told him that I missed all the things he used to say and how he used to be so free with his expressions. At the time i was expecting him to fall back into that role for a while however that just is not consistent with who he is.
He comes around and I am so excited for vacation to get here so he can be away from that friggen hospital for at least a week. It is going to do wonders for him and I am so excited to have the old Daniel back for at least a time before it all starts up all over again.
Kris and I tell people this all the time. "Don't expect that things will get better and don't expect that they will get worse, constantly remind yourself that things will get 'different'" with this mindset I have found that I get much less distressed when things get trying.
