Bless him, he asked me how I was and I told him and he sounded very upset. I forget that people who care about you get upset when you tell them how you feel and what is going on.
I hadn't realised that I might hurt anyone by saying how it actually is. Anyway, I hope that I managed to cheer him up after I caught the fact I'd upset him.
I will have to be careful about that. I try and be matter of fact about what is happening and try (through gritted teeth sometimes) to portray the upsides and the funny side of it. Sometimes being sincere has its downsides obviously.
My family are very good considering the havoc that I have wrought on them with this.
