Dear Kelley,
I can totally relate to what you are saying!! I was just sitting here
going through the same thing!! I sarted a job a couple weeks ago because
my husband hurt his leg at work about a month and a half ago and we
can't just sit around and wait for workmans comp.We have 2 boys ages
8&12 to take care of!! Anyway I have not worked in about 4 years and
this job is really really hard on me!! It hurts to stand for long
periods of time the pressure and the pain get unbarable plus I do not
have the energy to keep going!!My husband keeps telling me to quit but
how are we supposed to survive and I don't want to be a quitter either.I
had surgery in July and The surgeon said my Bowels,pelvis and abdomen
was covered in adhesions.He cut them away and used interceed barrier I
have tried eating and acting like a normal person but I have just been
fooling myself!! I am back to drinking the Ensure and jello again
because my bowels won't move, plus I am sick to my stomach all the time
and nothing tastes right anymore. I am getting really really
depressed!! I have not been back to the Dr. since August at my post
surgical check up. I really don't even want to go back anymore
especially after all I have been through the last couple years.Well I
need to get off here to go to work and I have felt terrible all day!!I
just hope and pray I can make it through the the night I have been
trying to take it a day or even a couple hours at a time!! Thanks for
listening! I just don't know how much longer I can keep fighting I am
getting sooooo tired!I am sorry Kelley I guess I did not have any
answers for you! But know that I understand how you are feeling and you
are in my thoughts and prayers! XOXO
