Bambi don't apologize, you're not butting in, that's what these blogs are for I think, just to vent and to discover people feel the same way we do. I really try to maintain a positive attitude. Sometimes it's easier than others...
I have been doing nice things for myself and trying to get back into exercising a little bit. I did a lot of yoga before this surgery and it's hard to do anything that bends my back at all. I have been doing light cardio, basically walking and easy elliptical, 15 minutes max.
Yes Candy you are right and I am actually beginning to make some plans to that end. Things don't change, we have to change them and that's what I'm beginning to do.
I do have toxic people in my family and have that pretty well under control. I did lose a family member recently who was very young and it was unexpected. My family is close and relies on me quite a bit for guidance in anything medical or decisions being made, that sort of thing, but we are all starting to get back to some kind of normal.
I replied to this post but somehow it got placed further down. Anyway thank you for posting this, I appreciate your input. This and my family have been the worst part of this surgery - and that shouldn't be the case!
Candy I know exactly what you are saying, I goes I felt like he would step up and he didn't, maybe he didn't know what I was needing from him but then I made it pretty clear and he seems to forget from day to day. Of course now I need much less help but I am disappointed I think.
I'm not offended at all, I appreciate everything you wrote. That is so kind of your husband to take all that time off of work. And believe me, I know what NPs do, it is no different than what I do except they feet paid less and get less credit for their hard work. I feel like my SO doesn't think this surgery was necessary and isn't serious because it isn't life threatening... I have felt this way before when I have been ill. I know what I need to do and as soon as I'm strong enough, I'll do it. Thank you SO MUCH for posting.
