Dear Angie, Tears flowing here for you. If I knew where you were and it was close enough for me to get there to take you to the appt/surgery I would. Seriously! I have been where you are, as I am sure many others in this forum have as well. It is truly hard for others who have not experienced this pain, etc. to fully understand and No, it is not the same as "cramps" just as a "headache" is not the same as a "migraine." I think also that because this disease does not show itself outwardly (no bruising or noticeable physical attributes) it is hard for others to remember we are ill. I've been told more often than I'd like to count "You look too healthy to be ill." Compliment or just another "Why can't you just act 'normal' like the rest of us?"?? I think it's both. SO, please do what you need to do for you! You are the one with the health issue, it's YOUR body and it's time you are able to stop apologizing for it and start celebrating what you do have. You are unique and a wonder! Your husband will get the clue once you show him how you expect to be treated....i.e. show him by treating yourself well. Sorry if I am preaching here. I don't mean to say you deserve what you get. On the contrary. Some people will never understand what you go through and what you need and some will. But the most important person here is you. Without you taking care of you there is no one to take care of your 7 1/2 month old, right? I know I am babbling...sorry. I have surgery this Friday and I know I won't get the support from my family that I need other than a ride to the surgery. And my man is unfortunately thousands of miles away so all he can do is tell me that when they put me out I should imagine being held in his arms. Then the rest is up to me. I will have to decide what to do with the post-op news and how to get others to understand it's ramifications (pretty serious stuff on the table this go 'round, but then there always is.) Angela, you go ahead and cry, scream, do whatever you need to do for YOU!! And please let me know if there's anything I can do for you. Sally P.S. I apologize if I have said too much here. "There is one right I would not grant anyone. And that is the right to be indifferent." -Elie Wiesel "It's the soul's duty to be loyal to its own desires." --Rebecca West
>----- Original Message ----- Hello, I really need to vent right NOW!!! I really just need a really good cry. I am so upset with my husband right now. Well I went to my Dr. appt. today! The doctor wants me to continue taking the bcp's for 2 more months so Dec. 7th and am going to see her and she is going to decide whether to do another lap or not. Anyway I told my husband that and he said its hard for him to take time off so we will NEED to schedule it according to when he can take time off. Also 10 min. ago I talked to him and he wanted to go running with me tonight and I said I dont know whether I am running tonight because I am not feeling well today ( nothing new ) and he says he doesnt have time for this. My husband does not know what I am going through and it really pisses me off. Its not a *&&&*&& joke I need this DAMN surgery. I am sick of being tossed around by the doctor, oh take this pill, no take this pill oh if that dont work take this pill, and it that doesnt work keep a damn log!!!! Shit!!! I dont have time for this I have a 7 1/2 month old that I like her to be happy 24 hours a day!!! I can't be sick anymore. And I will not schedule the operation around my husbands time, my parents will have to take care of my daughter. My husband doesnt want to believe that I have a disease. He is being very selfish. Who cares how I am feeling as long as he is happy, thats all that really matters. angie
