Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

@Faith-and-Hope Have a lot of feelings floating around, in one way it is not the actual surgery itself but concerns around it along with a couple of other issues. Going OK though, allowing for living grief in relation to these things, doing what needs to be done (and finding black humour in some of these things). I have a firm foundation and will continue to chose to be grateful and focus on the positives, despite his pain and current catastrophising, Mr D has been so much more stable that he has been for years.

Big word "gamification" Bro - had to look that one up @Determined

Thanks @Former-Member

lol @Former-Member

I hadn't heard of it either before the start of semester 1 this year. The more I research it the more it amazes me how much time and resources are invested in teaching people what not so long ago was normal expected behaviour. Like using virtual reality to teach people to interact with each other and have empathy. How about we do it the old fashion way and just talk to each other ?
