[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 193134, member: 3907"] Awwww Mary. Sending big hugs, and an ear to listen. Have you tried starting your conversation with husband with "I don't want advice, I don't want you to fix it, I just need you to listen to me..." ? I think a lot of men take conversation as a request for advice...and they want to DO something about it, when all you need is an ear and a shoulder. As for your mother, HONESTLY. That's totally insensitive. I would tell her that you will get the cheque to her as soon as you can AFTER THE KNEE SURGERY, because right now you're in too much pain to make it to the bank or the mail box. If she needs it that badly can she come and pick it up from you, or would that add further to your misery. Sorry you're in pain. There have been great developments in knee surgery techniques over the years. If it's any help, my husband went in for his knee surgery last year on crutches, and walked out on his own power later that day. Sending positive thoughts for a successful surgery, a stress free pre-surgery weekend, and a speedy recovery. Trinity [/QUOTE]
