Dear T,
I was in so much pain when I went in to my appointment today, I wasn't sure how I'd manage.
But now, after, I'm in even more pain and I will have to manage. So I guess the way I felt before was utterly manageable.
Yours sincerely, Apteryx.
PS. Pointing out that I can't know that my H actually does love me was a particularly neat trick of yours. Of course it's true that I can't know anything at all about other people's thoughts, and I know that was your point. I guess I should be grateful that you think so highly of my ability to reason rationally.
