Guest guest Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Well Yesterday could have been better. Hubby actually called and apologized for his behavior Thursday night that left me in tears. He berates me until I am so low and feeling bad about myself. tells me " You just don't get it over and over again. " Never takes responsibility for the things he does to me. So this was a first, but not holdin' my breath. So he decided to help me get groceries last night. another first, since was out with friends. Remember he cancelled my debit card, so I could no longer use it. Well it still worked yesterday morning, so he thought it never got cut off. Well took an hour to shop and check out except when we got to check out the card wouldn't work. So we had the lady at walmart suspend the transaction so he could call the bank and see what was up. well the cut off that card. So he had them put his other debit card on that account so we could pay for the groceries. Well they said that it is good to go and so we go to the service desk to pay and it don't work, so he call again and they say the same thing. this time though Walmart had to rering the whole cart. Guess what happened? Card would still not work. He had the cashier wait while he again called the bank. Still could not get it to work. The cashier stood and waited 20 mins at least for him to do all this. I was so embarassed. But I have had the card not work numerous times, cause of one reason or another. Now at least he could maybe feel how I do at these times. also he could see how overreacting and shutting off the debit card caused all of this hassle. then of course on the way home started yelling at me about it. Grrr. Not my fault, it was his own doing. So today he had to go to the bank and get me some cash to go grocery shopping all over again. Feel like crap today. Have a sore throat, congestion and fever on top of the fibro. Not in the mood to go, that is for sure. Well had to get that off my mind. thanks for listening and being there for me. Please pray that I can get through today. Hoep everyone else is better off than I . Hugs, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 What a horrible thing to go through. Well, he really only has himself to blame. It is too bad you have to pay the consequences with the extra energy it takes. You know, it seems my d/h can seldom admit he is wrong either. I hope you get better today. I know you spent your energy last night and have to find some again for the same shopping expedition. Walmart..... a great store but so damn big. love and hugs, Debra V. wrote: Well Yesterday could have been better.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 I was married to one of those. I'm not anymore. It takes a lot to pull yourself up from that kind of degradation. I hate to say it, but he's not going to change.

You know that I'm here and you can e-mail me at my address any time you want. I have been there before you. Old codger here.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Too late to pray for yesterday, but I will pray for today. Hope you were able to get groceries. Men like him will never think it is there own fault. They refuse to take the blame because it gives them power to blame someone else. Hang in there.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Must be something in the air. I had THE worst night in a while last night. Was up most of it ~ One can only watch SO many reruns of M*A*S*H! LOL Seriously, I do NOT look forward to the next 2 weeks with no pain meds. I am out as of now ~ just took my last one. Pray that I can get my Medicaid card SOON so I can fill my Lyrica script. Maybe that will help me over the hump till I can get more pain meds. Having less intestines than the average bear (I had Gastric Bypass Surgery) I don't absorb meds like others do, so it takes MORE to get any results. However, most doctors don't see that, and I run out of meds too early. *sigh* I would mug a nun for a shot of morphine!! <<evil grin>> Hope the rest of you are doing better. I cannot WAIT till SUMMER and WARMTH again! Blessings, Lou ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ " Give me ambiguity or give me something else.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 ME TOO! I'm having a horrible flare-up. I just got over the flu last week and started wanting to get out into the sun, even though it's been really cold. Then Friday night I couldn't sleep well and woke up yesterday morning like a mack truck had run me down. Then dealing with my husband being so sweet one minute, then complaining about how awful his life his the next, is pushing me over the edge. Get this, last night he offers to rub my back, but his idea of fun is to hold the cold lotion up high and let it hit my skin. I asked him to please not to do this and he got mad. He did still rub my back, but bitched the whole time, that everything had to always be serious, I could never joke about anything. He didn't get that that was painful for me, not a joke. Then today, he comes home from Walmart and says he saw something he wanted to buy me but didn't cuz he knew I'd get pissed. I asked him was it something I'd like or was it something you liked? He said it was something I wanted you to have...some satin pajamas; which he knows I don't like, I'm sure it was some little sexy thing to try to get me to wear for him. His idea of gift giving is to be able to give me what makes him happy, not what makes me happy. We had the same fight over Christmas. And my daughter and her fiance are over doing laundry and watching football and brought their dog with them, so the house is noisy on top of everything else, grrrrr. Makes me want to just curl up and wish the world away. I can't do that with everyone here, though, they freak out because I tried to kill myself 6 years ago (and damn near succeeded). So here I sit complaining to y'all without the benefit of any pain meds (my choice right now, as I'm in recovery for addiction) trying not to feel too sorry for myself. Thanks for letting me vent. > > Must be something in the air. I had THE worst night in a while last night. > Was up most of it ~ One can only watch SO many reruns of M*A*S*H!

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Hi - Doesn't your doctor know that you need more meds because of the gastric bypass? If he/she believes you are still like a normal person when absorbing meds, we who've had that type of surgery know better. Heck, even among normal people, everybody reacts and absorbs things differently. You need your doc to be more flexible, to work with you, not against you. I'll pray you get your Medicare card and maybe you get a new doctor, too. Take care. Jeanne in WI Dealing with FM & WLS? http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/FM-WLS/ > Must be something in the air.
