Is it wrong that, while I was hospitalized, my wife rarely visited, instead working as a Walmart greeter?
As you may have heard, I was in the hospital for a couple of weeks, and I thank you for your cards, prayers and e-mails. My friend Eddie printed out many well wishes from this site and Myspace, and I was deeply touched. Again, thank you. I will be fine.
In the next few days, I plan to post some of my observations about my relationship with my ex-wife, Claire, who had been living with me but since has moved back to her place on the hill. I will also post about my reuniting with my former girlfriend, and our former family au pair, Krystka, whose presence I truly believe helped me out of my coma -- but I won't post about that now.
First, since she is running for elective office and November 4's Election Day is approaching, let me address Claire.
Do you think it is weird that, while I was in the hospital -- granted I was not really "with it" -- she had barely visited at all, considering that we had been living together as a family before I was jumped (allegedly by the man she had been cheating on me with earlier in the year, Timdawg, which had led to our divorce), and, instead, had taken a job as a Walmart greeter -- despite the fact that she has a law degree?
It turns out she paid the 28-year-old Walmart manager an $800 "consulting" fee out of her campaign fund to get the job. Why? The Walmart greeter is the highest profile person in our backwater Florida county. That said, I hope ol' Bessy, 86, gets her job back when the campaign's over.
I've heard Claire, wearing a red-white-and-blue "Trust Claire" button and the Sarah Palin-style glasses she really doesn't even need with her 20-20 vision, has been telling everyone who comes in to vote for her, because she's "one of them." Don't ask her what aisle the Spam or anything else is in. She won't know.
My question, more specifically, is: Did it take something personally traumatic, such as a serious injury, for you to finally realize that your spouse really wasn't there for you?
