Yeah, Gud, you were in the HOSPITAL. You shouldn't be doing much.
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

Coding and Sleeping
I'm still going to rest some, but it's going to be a bad, stressful day.

Not just some rest. If you don't want to end up back in the hospital, it's time to say No.

Gud, infections that require hospitalization are no joke. Take it easy, and remind everyone else that it's their turn to take care of you.

Gud, we will listen and support you regardless. That said, you are in a toxic, abusive relationship. Your wife is not kind to you or supportive of you. As someone who worked as a domestic violence crisis counselor, I can say with authority that she is the abuser in an emotional cycle of violence. There are many reasons why people stay in these relationships, and I understand having children makes this even more difficult. But I also know from my training that it is important to affirm the truth over and over again until it is possible for you to escape the cycle. So I'm affirming: not normal. Not kind. Not healthy, for you or your kids. Not your fault, despite how much you've been conditioned to believe it is.

I was about to say something similar. After getting out of the hospital, your #1 priority is resting. That includes mentally and emotionally.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
You know those cliches where someone is on the phone with an aged parent or something, and all that's really required of you is to vaguely listen and occasionally go "Uh huh" and "Yep" and "Mmmm"?
This is the conversation I'm having with my coworker. I think she wants sympathy about how much she's having to work, but I am not allowed to say that I think she over-complicates everything and it therefore takes her three times as long as it should.
