Since this is my journal I'm going to go off fitness and get something off my chest.
When you go through a serious injury, you just assume that the people you love will love and support you. They don't always do that. It's not that they don't want to, the stress is just killing on them. My wife has been through cancer, I had this and now her 80 year old father had a sextuple bypass. I don't think she can take any more and I doubt she has much more to give. She likes order and structure and certainty. Being injured and not earning a living means that there are none of those things. It puts a strain on our relationship. She is angry with me because this could have been prevented. I understand that. It still gets kind of old. She doesn't believe I am doing exercise unless she sees me do it. When I was doing complexes, they were so short, she did not understand how they could do much for me. Besides, exercise to me is private. I have to crab walk to the basement to have access to the bench and weights. How many people want to do this when they can have someone watch? I certainly don't. The other issue is that my temporary leg does not fit as well as it once did. This means that it is more painful to walk for long stretches. I try to explain this to her, but I don't think she believes me. Since I am home most of the time, we are on top of each other when she is home and she doesn't get much alone time. I will be glad when I can drive and am working again.
I am writing a business plan to get funding. I have never done this before. My background was not in business. The concrete parts are easy. The parts about things like business philosophy are what cause me problems.
