He called me the other day to cancel an appointment. Apparently he had a very bad fall and tore the tendons in both knees. He had surgery and is now in a rehab facility. He said he will call next week, keep me posted, doesn't know how much longer he'll be out of commission.
I sent him a card and a book I told him about that he hadn't read (we tend to like the same books). I wrote him a nice note and at the end said, I actually feel more sorry for you than I do for myself.
But I don't know if that's true, actually. Much as I realize how much this must absolutely suck for him (I mean BOTH KNEES at once, being in a rehab in a wheelchair. He is a very vigorous guy who runs every day) I find myself worrying about how long it will be before I can see him again. Weeks? Months?
I am too dependent on him. He's 72. What am I going to do if he really gets sick and has to stop practicing? I have to figure out how not to need him so much.
