This entry and the next are short. I hadn't written the full update before June 13, when I fell and shattered my elbow and my shoulder, resulting in two operations, two weeks in the hospital, and three weeks of recovery at home with 24-hour care. The regular updates start up again on July 1.
Damon called to tell me the dates of his visit: August 9 through 15. That's longer than usual. He usually comes for four nights and five days. When Mike and I visited, we could never stay at his house for more than three nights. We had to move to a hotel if we wanted to stay longer.
Sometimes, communicating with someone can worsen things when you learn what they think about something, particularly you. What I love most about those situations is that there is no way to reconcile the two perspectives, and one party is unwilling to discuss them. In my experience, those people feel a loss of self if they allow themselves to understand the other person's point of view. There's not much I can do about that.
