Husband planned fancy family lunch for my birthday. Told me not to worry about anything he’ll sort the kids out. Sit in car, son is wearing school uniform minus the tie.

How inappropriate is it to ask my Twitter followers if there is a substantive orthopaedic consultant job that fulfills my criteria?

Happy New Year! Turns out supporting a Locum consultant is no better (?worse) than the fellowship years. Honestly I’m only now staying in this because I hate taking the bins out

The year is 2021. The pandemic rages on but Husband has become a consultant. After waiting for this for more than two decades my worst fears have been confirmed. I remain his wife while Orthopaedics remains his mistress. Condolences to surgical partners coming up behind.

He entered the kitchen suddenly. I looked up. Our eyes met. He walked over, his gaze was intense. He took my arm. I blushed. He rolled up my sleeve tenderly. I couldn’t hide my smile. He pulled out a skin marker and drew dots on my arm to plan his approach for tomorrow

Surgical training and kids can really take a toll on a marriage I miss feeling as special as when my husband took a newspaper with him to the top of Table Mountain on our honeymoon

I have some coping strategies though, I’m teaching my kids to refer to him by his first name when he comes home for the weekend.
