When asked by a young man if he should seek to marry, Socrates answered him:
“By all means marry: if you get a good wife, you will be happy; if you get a bad one, you will become a philosopher.”
The Oracle of Delphi called Socrates 'the wisest man' because he said:
"I know I know nothing!"
Of course, he only knew this because his wife, Xanthippe, told him so.
Every day!

Thanks!
Though, I am only back a little bit. I am starting physiotherapy on my right shoulder next week, to get the mobility back slowly. As for the left shoulder, that one is a bit trickier. The bones are mending well, so in 3 more weeks, they should be solid enough to try forcing them the rest of the way into the socket. Until then, the shoulder will stay only partially ‘in’, and so will be immobilized completely. The good news is that I am slowly but surely getting back the ability of the fingers to grasp, so things are moving in the right direction.
For now, typing is a bitch…
