rictus said to me to always tell your other half your fine until they actually see you, its not good telling them "darling, ive had an accident and my legs are broken and i've dislocated my arms!", because they'll just have a horrible image in their head and everything

A friend of ours had an accident in France and ended up with broken ribs. He had to be flown home and didn't tell his wife about the accident until he arrived back, as she would only have worried and not been able to do anything anyway. (He also had Pete and I riding round and round completely the wrong French town trying to find him, but that's another story!)
As for selfish, maybe, but Pete and I have grown-up kids with their own lives and our only responsibilities now are three cats. I'd like to think they'd miss us, but tbh anyone who gave them a tin of sardines would be their new best friend!
