They don't play games here. I really have to bite my tongue. I can't wait until we're home and we can get back to our normal lives. Hopefully he'[ll be miles better by then.At least I hope so.
Sadly I can't put off George's sister much longer, because she's wanting to take us out to dinner. We haven't told her about the stroke. George didn't want her to know.

I hope life can be back to your normal, but it may take some time. It is really encouraging he is progressing though.

Now that they are working on getting him better, you probably should tell her. I hope he makes wonderful strides in his therapies.

@LadyDuck Actually, it's not uncommon for us to be busy and reschedule. We see her once a year or every few years. He's flat out refused to attend a few events because of the drive. Including the memorial for his mom's passing. So, no. She understood.

@kaylachan - His sister will think that there is something wrong or that both of you are angry refusing to see her. She has to know.

No. He doesn't. But, she wants to see him. So, I'm gong to have to say something.

Can his sister not tell there's a difference?

Over the phone, not really. Unless he says something off the wall and can't self-correct.

Don’t you wish that things “got back to normal” as quickly as they “messed up”? 
Glad he’s progressing, and glad you’re able to hold your temper. I know it’s tough.

It only takes a split second to mess up. but a long time to recover.

Yeah. I was hoping to wait until he's had some treatment, so that he can make a decision. It's not my place to tell her.

Well, I guess now is the best time to tell his sister. At least you can say he is on the mend,

I think you should tell his sister. She's close family and should know.

Sometimes, it can be hard to fend off family. I wish your load wasn't so heavy right now, Kayla. I hope George does well in rehab and continues to improve.
