..meaning finding the line between care and being overly solicitous.

A couple hrs. ago, dearie was on his bike...and another cyclist collided him. He was out for awhile in so far, the next time, he awoke, he was in the emergency dept. at hospital. Got immediate medical attention, CAT scan for his head, leg, etc.

But I didn't know about this until he came home. Doctor told him to take an easy. He should replace his helmet, since it's slightly chipped. He didn't want hospital to phone me.

Really I'm not the sort of woman that goes hysterical and cries at the drop of a pin. So I think he under-estimates me that I would become a tousel-haired panicky woman immediately.

Anyway, he'll take an easy next few days.
But now he's even more motivated....to buy new computer to replace his dying computer. sorry this sounds strange. On one hand I understand since he has some major biz deadlines next wk. but well, if I were him, I would let go 1 project bid.

In some ways, he is very conscientious about his health, freely admits his weaknesses to others, while on other hand he plods along down this path insisting on normality. Which it is.

Sorry for this ramble.
