I'm hurting a lot today. I slept well so since I can't really move at all while I sleep, I stayed in one position for too many hours.
My thoughts are a bit scattered, but I wanted to reply the best that I can. I've had one low dose pain pill this AM though I know I need more relief so I can move.
At one time a few years ago, my T told me if I needed to contact her after she retired, I could. In the end, we didn't talk about contact other than she said I could send something by letter in the mail to her office as she is required to keep her patient profiles for a certain amount of time. I know she sold her home and moved a few hours away from here. E-mail was pretty much off limits to her and I can't imagine that changing. She's retired, done taking care of her patience. I respect that.
You are so right, it is we, who are devastated by such great loss in the end. It's how the relationship through the works, is setup. "Rent a friend." As soon as we stop paying our rent we lose our friend. Sad but true.
I will write more to you soon, hopefully, when I'm in less pain. I hate pain meds but I can't move without them and I need to move to get better.
I'm here........just not my best as the moment.
I relate to you.......
LadyBugPS My oldest daughter got married in May. She's so happy! She married a great guy after 6 years of dating. My 18 year old daughter is stuck trying to help me. She resents it! I try to do all I can on my own, but I have limits right now. It's been hard. This is the first time I've had surgery where my husband isn't here to help. He offered to come and stay but he has no resources to help me. No car, no money, no job, and poor health. He ends up being more of a burden than a help. I'm a care taker by personality, so I'd end up taking care of him if he were here.
