The home is for two. I and I. I am not visiting but care giving. Yes I am bent out of shape by the situation. And I now bow to fate. My belief is detention for 8 days was avoidable without meeting daughter for breakfast. On the other hand would we after the MRI found the tumor not checked in to Hospital? And had we not done so with Daughter but alone would anything change?

The isolation ought be able to be overcome. But Judith is not strong enough emotionally to do so.

Now faced with surgery and no elevator at home and some distance to go for surgery we struggle.

I want 12 hours to do stuff. She wants constant company to overcome fear. The best is to find a middle road. So far no middle path.

Husband. Victim of solidarity. I have no job. My employment is my wife's health.

I have dual duty to myself and to her. In the end I know I would regret being with her less. Much is learned post Covid not known to naked eye but naked spirit. The only cafe in the Hospital closes at 2PM is one item. Very few Caucasion staff another.

A medical cul-de-sac.
