Re: Family support problems

[Guest guest]

All,

Just tell him it is too hard on you and you would rather him come in short

intervals and visit you.

Tell him that that way you can lie down when you want and do not feel a burden

to others and that he should

understand that.

Tell him it is more stressful for you to travel than for him and that you should

be closer to your Doctor.

If you do not want to go through all this, tell him your Doctor wants you not to

travel so much, it increases your pain

That's what I do to get out of it.

You have to take care of yourself, first. I have had my 92 year old Father stand

over me and tell me to " Get Up " when I was having a bout of sciatica and I

cannot assit others when they treat me like this and not let me rest when I want

to and need to and they do not need to " make me " go to family gathering but be

understanding of me as I am here and if they want to see me, they can drive this

way.
