[quote=Anonymous]OP - you have tons of anxiety.  Why are you doing that insane list of things for your DH when he is sick?  My DH and I would consider ourselves both doting caregivers to each other, but your list is over the top.  It suggests to me that you have martyr syndrome, and it's not healthy that you now expect the payback. And your DH knows it.

I mean, come on - you cited the bathroom not getting cleaned for a couple weeks causing your surgery site to get a scar?? Are you kidding me?  That's bonkerballs projecting.

Sorry you have to have surgery, but convey a reasonable list of fears/expectations to your DH and leave it be.  Life will go on.

I also don't understand what kind of minor outpatient surgery involves you not being able to be up and about doing chores for 6 weeks.  I mean, i had a tummy tuck - which is major surgery - and I was up and about after 4 days getting my own food, picking up around the house etc.  They say 6 weeks for all surgeries, because that's how long you're generally not supposed to drive for or do heavy lifting. But i'd love to know what surgery means you can't pack the kids' backpacks for 6 weeks. Again, i think you are carrying major anxiety and martyrdom here.  [/quote]
