This new blog was born out of tragedy, however, I’d been considering doing another blog for some time.
My main blog,Zille Defeu’s Fetish Fantasies is focused quite tightly upon spanking and fetish, upon the Master/slave relationship I’m in. People coming by that blog tend to fall into two camps: 1.) people lookin’ for hot spankin’ action, and 2.) my friends who are interested in what Zille’s been gettin’ up to.
Since my friends will generally be willing to click an extra click, or add an extra RSS feed, I think it makes more sense to create a new blog for my ruminations and ponderings of the less sexual/fetishistic in nature.
The reason why I’m starting it now, is because I’m probably about to enter a period where I’ll have lots of thoughts about things, but they may be less kinky than usual.
My Master was in a car accident.
The asshole in the other car tried to over-take three cars by driving in the on-coming traffic lane, and seeming not to notice my Master driving in that lane, smashed head first into him.
Their combined momentum upon impact was 180 kpm.
It is amazingly lucky, miraculous even, that my Master is still with me. But he is not without injury: his right leg has a new knee, and his right arm has a seven-hole plate running from the elbow to wrist (for what the doctor called a “fascinating” fracture. It’s never very good when doctors use that word!) Add to that a cracked rib, his other knee cut up so bad that with the stitches in it looks a bit like Frankenstein’s knee, and multiple and impressive contusions and sore places. Oh, and the cut on his head that bleed the way you are always told head-wounds bleed (copiously) but you are still never prepared to see that much blood pouring from someone you love’s head.
There were many other pieces of luck surrounding this accident. We were in a country where he is a citizen, and in an area where some of his family lives. He got taken by helicopter to one of the countries best hospital trauma units. And I could go on for a rather long list.
But there are also the hard parts, as well. I cannot fully express my emotions when the call came in (I had been sleeping, and for a few seconds I desperately hoped I was just having a very bad dream). Even more, I don’t even want to go into the six hours of waiting in the trauma waiting room, to find out if my husband and Master had survived surgery, and if he had, what the full extent of his injuries were.
And now, the man who normally is my Master, who cares for me, is now in my care. He is on crutches, but even then he can’t get far without getting weak and dizzy. I did things for him before, but that was part of our M/s dynamic. Now I do them because he cannot do them for himself.
And I have to step-up, be strong and independent, support him and, since he was my support, support myself as well. (Although not financially, at least, another way we are so very lucky.)
I have been his slave, his little girl, for four years now. Now, suddenly, I must be the big, strong, take-care-of-things one. This will change our relationship, our us, forever. I’m sure in the end it will be for the good, but I still haven’t even had the proper time to mourn the end of who-we-were.
In short (well, not-so-short, I will ramble on…): in the space of the time it took for that thoughtless stranger to make a very bad decision, my life (and my Master’s) has just changed immensely, and the only warning I got was in the form of the shock of being told your husband has been in an accident.
So, you see, I’ll have a lot of thinking and writing to do, here….
My god, honey. Please, just call, let me know if there’s anything that I can do. Anything from a glass of wine to a ride somewhere to whatever! I’m working from home next week, so my schedule is all kinds of flexible. *big hugs* *sending of incredible amounts of hippy-healing energy*
You know, I said that without knowing where you actually are. Whatever country you’re in – I’m still thinking of you!
[...] you lot, I apologise for being away, but I’m afraid I have an excuse. I’ve written about it here, and all future writings about that topic will be over there, [...]
Kristen, my dear — Thank you! When we get back to the States, we’ll be very happy to have you (and JD, bien sur) over for that glass of wine!
I really feel for you and your Master. The UK trauma units are some of the best in the world. Is your Master in the North Staffs? I only ask as that is a fantastic hospital to be in if you’ve just been in any sort of accident. They patched me up after a horseriding accident and did an amazing job.
Our thoughts are with you both for a fast recovery and a return to normal life.
Sorry to hear about this, Zille. Glad he’s on the mend though…best wishes to both of you…
Zille dear girl, seeing as you are this side of the pond, is there any way that I can be of service?
Love and warm hugs,
Paul.
Hi Lovely – I’m so sorry to hear about the accident – I hope he makes a speedy recovery. Please let me know if you need anything. I’m sending lots of love your way…
I’m just going to send more hugs because I have nothing else. I’m glad to hear he’s out of the hospital and on the long road to recovery. I’ll be checking here often. Take care, sweetheart.
We have been anxiously waiting to hear what happened and are saddened that you are both going through such a horrible time, but we are overjoyed that he is still with us, and you. We love you both and hope to see you soon and shower with you hugs.
My heart goes out to you both.
One of my best friends was in a car accident several years ago. I would say that it was on the same level with your Master’s.. slightly more lower body damage, slightly less upper body damage. Approximately a year later, his daughter was conceived. These days he’s his old self.. except for the father thing.
While you have my best wishes, I have every faith that you’ll get through it.
Words can’t express how sorry I am to hear about this happening, but I know you two will make it through this and everything will be all right in the end! <3 You know what they always say. If it’s not all right, then it’s not the end yet!
So sorry to hear about this happening. I know it must have been terrifying. You are in my prayers and I am sending you good thoughts and wishes.
Rather than waste time trying to think of the exact right and best thing to say, I’ll just add my best wishes to all the others you’ve received so far. I know too well, both personally and professionally, about the assorted hardships on all sides of trauma and illness and one person becoming the family caregiver (or carer, as the Brits say). But somehow I have the feeling that you two will eventually be able to figure out how to transform your care for him into a submissive act.
Hugs to you both.
o.g.
My heart is with you. I know you have a strong circle but please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need anything… although its been a very long while I’d hope you feel comfortable enough to pick up the phone if needed. Take care of yourself…
I’ve been a lurker on your other blog for a long time. I was sad to hear this news and I hope your Master gets the best treatment he can and that he recovers soon. I’ll be thinking good thoughts for both of you.
I am so sorry to hear this. All my warmest wishes for a quick and complete recovery to M., and best of luck to you!
Independent of the accident, I’m glad to see you writing more general stuff here — you’re a good writer and I’m actually less curious about your sex life than about your whole life.

I’m was so so sorry to read this Zille. I sincerely hope hes on the mend now. Everyone here is thinking of you and sending loves and the biggest hugs from the land downunder to you both. Take care xo
I’m so sorry to hear this
There’s lots I want to write, but my other boyfriend’s about to turn up so I will keep it brief. My Dom, my Master, has ME, and I have cared for and supported him as much as he has cared for and supported me in the 6 years we’ve been together. I have always felt that this reciprocity made our relationship so much stronger than if it was just one-way. And my caring for him is an act of submission, where his caring for me is an act of dominance. It works. So while I understand your anxiety at needing to be “the strong one” for a while, please believe me when I say it needn’t threaten your existing dynamic. I would bt surprised if it didn’t reinforce it.
Losing a coping mechanism is hard – I do struggle when I know I can’t lean on my Dom, but good communication about how much emotional and physical energy we each have available makes it so much easier, and I reckon you two have that one sorted from the way you write about your relationship. But you have other coping mechanisms. If you need his reassurance and he’s not able to give it, then write, or call up another friend or lover, or go for a walk, or tend your plants or do whatever else it is that helps you straighten yourself.
But I’m sure you know this. My thoughts are with you both, anyway. xx
You know, I just now found this blog. What a huge, life-changing, painful thing you’re dealing with, both of you. My thoughts are with you, as well.
And ruminating is one of my favourites so I know I’ll be spending some time here, reading you.
I have only just stumbled on this site, having enjoyed your other blog. What a revelation of the complexities of life. Many years ago I was in hospital for a couple of weeks for emergency surgery. It was before we became aware of our DD dynamic, but my incapacity for that short period and brief convalescence, brought out in my wife a new desire to serve, rather than any opportunity to try to dominate my weakened state. You must focus on nurturing, recovering, rebuilding and restoring your Master to his rightful position. You can do it and I believe your marriage will be strengthened and bonded all the more as a consequence.
Thank you, all! I can’t keep up with all the kind thoughts and generous words — but they have all been read and appreciated greatly!
As of the posting of this reply, focussing on caring for my Master has indeed only made us closer. But he and I both very much look forward to his healing being much farther along, so he can discipline me again!
