Guest guest Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Here is my final rant. Although my husband doesn't do much around the house in or out, he does GET IT when it comes to my spine and my limitations. It didn't happen all at once, but over the years, and especially after my 2001 revision he is very aware of my condition. It helped when he went to my appointments with me to here what Dr. A had to say. He also remembers the pain I was in while I the hospital. So In some ways I am fortunate. He did not understand the depression I experienced after surgery and refused to learn about it. I would give him articles to read explaining depression very succinctly but he never read them. If I felt bad it was all my fault. He came around after talking to his friends and customers at our retail store when he dicsovered that depression was indeed very real and not something that was my fault. He did come around after that. I will be having open heart surgery to replace my mitral valve on Jan. 25. We have no help lined up so after the first week home I'll probably be on my own. Many times I feel the store is his first priority. He just " has " to be there even though he has other employees. I'm just hoping this heart surgery makes me feel much stronger. Otherwise I guess I will just continue to exist and not really live. Best of luck to everyone else. Barb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
