What I mind is being the one with the injury, who nevertheless has to console <em>her</em>. She's all broken down mentally because I have an injury? What now? What about me being the one who might need some support? Why do I have to assure her that everything is going to be fine, while she gets to weep and fall apart? Honestly, people wonder why I have fucking intimacy issues and get secretive - it's because every time I try to tell something to someone close to me I end up having one more problem on my hands, rather than any help. Anyway. The stupid brace makes me have its own new pain, because it also throws my back and left hip out of alignment. So it's one set of problems for another, and the brace also has bonus "blisters on the affected foot" and "potential for falling down so elegantly." So right now I am opting for hobbling on the bare foot instead. I don’t mind her caring, it’s natural for her to care.

I still get phonecalls from my mum late in the evening warning me to "drive carefully" tomorrow because it's just predicted snow or frost on the weather forecast. The fact that I've done the same journey for 14 years doesn't come into it. As for the foot - denial is only good to a certain extent. Wear the foot brace just in case, then you don't do extra damage to it if it is broken again. Hoep you feel better soon. That’s mothers for you though – they like to worry.
