RE: Very angry/

[Guest guest]

That is exactly what I told my brother. I wished he could be in my shoes

for one day. even a " so called " good day. Then he would know.

Part of what leaves me confused is that I don't remember talking about my

illness. I use a cane (gee, that's king of obvious there is a problem) and

there were people who hadn't seen me in a long time and said how good I

looked, and I said thank you. The only thing I did was ask if anyone had

any Advil because my shoulder hurt.

I've turned away from him before and I feel it's time to do so again for

awhile. I love him dearly and he's saved my life more than once, but I will

be 51 next month and I can't put up with this crap anymore.

Tigger,

You know, maybe all the naysayers and nonbelievers need to be in our shoes

for just one day....I know it's hard to understand, but come on. I'm

sorry...guess that goes with the territory, eh?? Yeah, just stay away till

you cool down, that way you won't say something you are sorry for.

Very angry

I went to my brother's house for corned beef and cabbage (St. Paddy's Day)

and we had a decent time. Unfornately, I woke up not feeling that well.

After everyone left my brother sat down and told me I can't talk about my

illness in a " party " setting. I'm so f-ing sick of it all. I thought he

had some idea, but he doesn't. He thinks he does, but he doesn't have a

clue. In addition to feeling kind of sick, I was in a great deal of pain.

especially that frozen shoulder.

I've been crying for hours now and don't know what to do. I think I'm going

to just stay clear of him until my anger subsides. I actually told him that

I wish he could feel my pain for a day and then he'd feel differently.

I'm just so sick of it all!
