Tom's surgery is tomorrow

[SandyRN]

He is going to be off for 2 or 3 weeks and I've mentioned already about how he's been to me lately...don't want to go into a whole lot more detail now but I'm worried my body is going to give out on me being a 24/7 nurse when he gets home from the hospital. I worry how I'm going to walk the floors of that big hospital tomorrow with my back acting up as it is, etc. You all know how it is. I just hurt, plain and simple.

I'm trying to be good to myself today....I slept late, been laying on the couch watching shows on the DVR like Wife Swap and Extreme Makeover Home Edition and just losing myself in thos shows, soon I'm going to soak in a SUPER long marathon bath and prepare my body for the next few days.

The thing is I'm really not worried about his surgery anymore. I'm sure he'll be fine, it's our relationship I'm worried about and how he's going to treat me being off work for so long...he 'forgets' that I hurt and while I would do ANYTHING in the world for him, it doesn't take away the physical pain that I have and that only gets worse when I'm stressed mentally and physically.

So, wish me luck. It's going to be a long few weeks. My kids are at their Dads for several days....I did get that much worked out, so they are taken care of at least. I hate that school just started and they are going to be at their father's already but he'll keep me informed of what's going on and so will my kids and he'll take good care of them.

Take a strong patience pill --- you'll need it! Men are usually awful patients.

Warm hugs,

Why is it that men can be the biggest babies?? I remember the day of my c-section, Chris almost passed out, they had to sit him down and stuff...um hello, being wheeled out to have a human extracted from me here...needle in my back, haven't eaten in 12 hours, remember me??? :)

Seriously though, I hope you feel better and hope that things ease up at home. I agree, maybe once the stress of the surgery is off, he'll be easier to live with.

Hugs,
Jess

Thanks everyone. I really appreciate the support. I feel like I've done a lot of moaning and groaning on here lately but it seems like things just happen in spells...know what I mean? Life will just go along and everything is ok then blam, one thing after another til it just becomes way too much to handle. Seems how it is with me anyway.

Hopefully this will be the end of his surgeries for a while, and hopefully he'll be a nice guy again when all this is over.

I'll try and get on and get an update on the board. I'm not hanging out at that hospital like I did with his last surgery because I made myself sick. I tried to sleep there the first night....BIG mistake. He's only going to be there one or two nights so I'm taking full advantage of a snore free bed and sleeping with my dogs! LOL I'm going to come home during the day and rest, and he can sleep, and wig out from the anesthesia with the nurses who get PAID to deal with him!

Oh Lord wish me luck!
