My hubby works nites, so he didn't know I went until this morning. I took my post op report with me so they would know what is going on. One occasion they gave me some ultracet and I was hoping they would give me something this time around, Wishful thinking.

He said, if they give you pills you take them I tried to tell him that I hurt 24 -7 but he don't get it. I always try to hide th epain from him and the kids. I have been in tears since 6 am. The person I love most (kids too) is the first one to turn on me. I don't know what to do . any suggestion is appreciated.

Linda,
Please sit down with your husband and tell him exactly what you have
been going through. Let him know that you have been hiding it and that
you can not do it on your own anymore. Let him know that you have been
in tears and that you don't have all of the answers but you know it is
real pain and that something has to be done. You have to work togather
and see if he will read some of our stories on the quilt. Also, e-mail
Jo in Australia because she is great at explaining how to talk to your
family. Linda, your husband is probably frustrated and has talked to
someone and they maybe put this in his head. You need to talk to him. I
will pray for you.
Lynn
