Hi Tonya... so sorry to hear that your boss doens't or won't
understand. I have trouble at work as well. It is hard for us to
understand, I can't imagine someone understanding who doesn't read this
board all the time. Smed is right, not the kickin the 'jimmy' but the
part about printing some stuff off for the people who don't know. I'm
going to do that myself today.
About the drilling and surgical stuff you had done.. OUCH ! I'm afraid
of pain, but fear I will be soon in the same boat. I have no advice for
that... sorry.
The fiance', well... give him a chance to be heard. Let him tell you
how scard he is. Paula asked all of us to write a few things down about
PCOS and how it makes us all feel. Read them and ask your man to read
them too. Maybe then he'll understand. I'm sure he loves you and is
just as scared and frustrated as you.
All the best to you..and don't be just a lurker... come on in...the
water's fine !
