Hi Mark,

I pity him, if he is ever needs his friends for support. He needs a reality check. Not all people are like this. This saddens me because having quality time is such a good thing for us.

You have good days and you have bad days. And if for one day out of four you let him loose, gave him your car and he wasn't deserted in a town that he didn't know well. He visited with other friends and that was inconvenient for him...Hmm.

I think you being upset with him is not inappropriate. He feels uncomfortable? You are walking w/ a cane and in pain 24/7. Put him up in your home. Do you mind me saying that he's selfish?

Next time he decides to come to town. Suggest that your condition isn't suitable for in-home guests any longer. Then you can go out to dinner when it's appropriate for you and you feel well.

I'm so very sorry, Mark. But we need to put us as priority #1 once in awhile and our mental well-being is a very important part of our RSD.
