Dear Sweet Rita,
I am soooo sorrrry to hear about your Devil pain :-( Thank-you
so much for sharing with me! I know what your talking about people
just not understanding I got a phone call from my husbands aunt today
asking if we would be at his other aunts 50th birthday party on Saturday
we have not talked to her in forever and we told my mother in law
yesterday
that we would not be there because I have not been off the couch in a
little over a month and she had the nerve to say "Well take the glue off
your Butt
then" GRRRRRRRRR That upset me sooo bad and when I told my husband he
was
soooooo Angry! I bet they would not say that to his aunts daughter in
law that has cancer!!!!My inlaws just lives about 2 miles away from us
and she has not even tried to help in anyway not a phone call or nothing
until yesterday when she called about the dinner! My husband told her
yesterday that I have not been off the couch and that the last thing I
wanted to do was sit and watch everyone eat dinner when I can't eat! I
have done that before and it is really hard to drink Ensure while
everyone else is having a feast it is hard enough to even watch TV
anymore with all the food ads. My husband said today that he has never
since he has known me for almost 20 years seen me sit still for more
than a minute he always used to tell me will you just sit down! And he
said he knows I must be in bad shape to be down for sooo long! He told
me that if it were him he would have given up a long time ago! I thank
God for my husband cause I would never have made it this far with out
him! Now if I can just keep him from calling his Mom and raising He**
with her cause I don't want all the fussing and fighting it just is not
worth it anymore!!! Thanks for listening to me rant and rave! Big Pain
Free Hugs Coming your way :-)
