back from the hospital and home alone


Hello just wanted to quickly let you all know I am home from the hospital. I had my hyserectomy--they took out only one ovary--it was at least as big as a tennis ball--Fibroma tumor, non cancerous.

In pain, alone, and still dealing with my A, who is struggling to make ends meet at a sh***y motel up the road. I thought I wanted to find a place with him, and now I am not so sure. I am in pain from my surgery, confused. and angry.

By the way, I quit smoking cigarettes the day I went into the hospital. I have been smoke free for 5 days now..Sheeesh! It was necessary due to my health. It hurts already when I cough, so smoking isn't my bag anymore. But the cravings come and go. I have the Nicorette inhaler.
Sorry, I know this is not a quit smoking group, but I just need to know if anyone else has been thru anything similar to all the crap I have talked about.

Anyway, I was posting a little clearer minded before, now I am confused. Been thru a lot.

Appreciate any help and keep praying for me.

Keep taking care of yourself - you know if he were there, you'd be taking as much or more care of him than he would be of you.  You can decide what to do about him when you are stronger - for a while now it can be all about you, rather than him.

To my mind, this is a good time to stop smoking - you feel lousy anyway, so might as well get it all over at once.  i found the "feeling bad" part lasted about 10 days or so, then you just have to work on breaking the habits.

Glad you're back home. Remember to take it easy and be extra good to yourself.   Take it one day at a time.  You can only do the best you can at any given moment, and that's okay.  Love and blessings to you and your family.

Live strong,

Glad you are home and recovering.  Please take good care of yourself.  Your body has been through a traumatic ordeal ... this affects all of you. 
Know that we all love you here at MIP.
Be kind to yourself.  Let the A go for now and just take care of you.

Love and Hugs,
Irish

Hi there,

You must be relieved your surgery is over, and now you have to concentrate on your recovery.

So sorry you are having such a difficult time with the A in your life, but you come first and remember that.

Thoughts are with you,
Barbs.

I don't know where your post went. It is like it disappeared into thin air. I read it. I don't know sweetie. It was nice and thoughtful though.
