Family Pain ManagementFrom: JoCee (anonymous@obgyn.net)Mon Feb 27 20:46:44 2006
How are most of you dealing with your kids when your endo flares up? Knowing how my pain medication knocks me out or makes me loopy I try not to take anything while I am with my kids and if I do it's half of the pill. My husband acts like my being home is a vacation day instead of a sick day. I end up here alone watching the kids when my reasons for being home is to rest and get through the flare up; but he acts like my being here is a sign for him to hit the pavement. My kids seem to take advantage of the fact that mom doesn't feel well and that mom can't get down the hall fast enough or move about the house keeping an accurate check on things. If I am confined to my bed because I am hurting, I can feel the house rocking, I can hear them fighting, I can hear them arguing, and my little one constantly rummages in things she shouldn't. When my husband returns 4 or 5 hours later rather than what should've been a 30 minute trip to the store, he looks at me and says, "What's wrong with you? Why do you act like you're mad?" Those are the moments in our sweet marriage that I'd like to run him over with the car and laugh like some psychotic nut and back up and do it again and say, "I'm sorry... Is there something wrong, honey? You sound a little upset. I'm sorry... Did you say something, honey?" And asking someone to watch my kids because I am hurting is a joke. I always hear, "Where is your husband at?" or "Where is their father?". To get someone to watch my kids for me for a couple of hours at their house or even just come over and sit here with them so I can take something for pain I'd have to pay them to do it and to bring up how many times I've helped them out when they've had the flu or some other problem is not even worth mentioning.
