(_<_) Yes madam. I really don't have a choice. My ear is ringing and its much worse when I'm on the computer. Haven't even been watching TV. I woke up this afternoon with a bruise around the eye on the side of the surgery and a sore throat. Very little pain though. So that is very good news. And Charlie is cooking chicken and homemade noodles. Jo > Go back to bed. That is an order. :) > Duckie [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >>> >>>kate >I really don't have a choice.

I got up last night. Not only were the grandkids here, so were some of their friends. They do all have home of their own including the grands. Then WE were supposed to get them off to school today. (No I didn't even et up) Yesterday afternoon I woke from a nap with a black eye on the side where I had the surgery. This morning its swollen shut. And Charlie can't figure out what he did with the post-op care papers and phone numbers.

If he can't find them, you should at least see someone today.

I am just about perfectly miserable today. My tongue is swollen enough its rubbing my teeth. The pressure from the plastic wound cover is making my ear hurt. Ear is swollen inside and itches. Eye looks awful and itches. Yesterday was "our" anniversary which DH "celebrated" for both of us by finishing my bottle of wine, and the one he bought for us and another we had tucked away for a special occasion. Grandsons decide to be absolute jerks, and also to have friends over. So not only didn't get any dinner, had an audience when I tried to fix myself something. And now everyone is mad at be cause my attitude seems to leave a little somethingto be desired. My guess it from here things just about have to improve right? At lease I'm still on speaking terms with the house painter. He's nearly done and my house looks better than it did the day we bought it new thirty five years ago. We will put him to work inside in July when it gets to hot to work outside. Jo >> Well tell him to LOOK for them. If he can't find them, you should at >> least see someone today. [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > > Jo whoaaaa! that's just NOT fair to you! you just had serious surgery and that kind of behavior is very inconsiderate. grrrrrr . . . . i don't think you are a "first class b@#$h" at all, jo. you hurt, are feeling miserable and are trying to heal. (((((((((((jo)))))))) you need to have peaceful healing time. the "friends" should have been chased out and the grandsons sent to their friend's house, instead of the reverse. "helping" grandma should have been their primary concern. sounds like convalescent ground rules set into place before your surgery might have been helpful. but then, that's hindsight. i sure hope charlie "notices" what's really happening and picks up the ball for you, sweetie, to make things better and less stressful for you. kate >>> Well tell him to LOOK for them.

They all get stressed when I'm not well and "in charge: I don't think that particular set of friends will be back anytime soon. Which is fine by me. Grandson wants to entertain, his mother has a house. Also I'm being unreasonably difficult. ANd its intentional. As my mom used to say in similar situations "Don't go away mad, just go away" I want the freedom to wander around my own home in my underwear and grumble if I feel like it. At least for a few more days. Jo >>>> Well tell him to LOOK for them. If he can't find them, you should at >>>> least see someone today. [quoted text clipped - 59 lines] > > Jo i believe that what stresses family members most, when a big cog in the family machinery is unable to function in a normal way, is not knowing what they can do to help and feeling inadequate about not knowing. it is very stressful and distressing to feel helpless when you're watching somebody you love in obvious and unusual amounts of pain. at this stage of the process, hon, you're certainly entitled to be unreasonably difficult, because what you are experiencing isn't normal for you and is difficult to process and to deal with. and if you need that freedom to walk around your home in your underwear and even howling at the moon, you simply need that, and that's ok that you do need that. that's not unreasonable, at all. it is just one way that helps you cope, is all, especially until you find your balance with this surgery and all it has imposed on your mind, body and spirit. i mean, hey, this is real pain, this is your reality, this is frightening stuff and this is temporary. ((((((((((((jo))))))))))) kate > This is just long standing family dynamic. Charlie is sorry and being nice > today. They all get stressed when I'm not well and "in charge: [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Jo And you deserve to do just that! I guess I'm lucky that Mike deals with such stress by hovering and being overly-protective of me. Makes me a little nuts when it happens, but it beats the heck out of a houseful of teenagers when one is 3 days post-op! (LOL and my hysterectomy was when his bipolar was just starting up - once it was obvious that I'd be just fine, he was so happy it kicked him into hypomania and THEN he was a real pain! Esp. as he was really funny and it hurt to laugh........) I truly feel for you on the tongue thing - I had a cyst removed from the tip of my tongue 14 years ago. Couldn't close my mouth for a week due to the swelling. But I only had the tongue to deal with, not the ear and black eye as well. SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Simply the thing I am shall make me live --- William Shakespeare Bet you could have made those grandchildren's friends go home quicker if you had just marched out in your underwear yesterday. Would serve his selfish little tushie right. Glad Charlie has perked up. Duckie > This is just long standing family dynamic. Charlie is sorry and being nice > today.

(_<_) Jo, it's amazing that you still have a sense of humor. I can't even imagine how much you are hurting and how miserable you are. You just be as b****y as you want to be, and everybody will just have to live with it! Surely hope you soon get all the swelling gone though, so you will be more comfortable. Just keep thinking of the good outcome you're going to have. You're in my prayers. Gwen > > Well tell him to LOOK for them. If he can't find them, you should at least > > see someone today.

Jo Even a little improvement is good, huh! Gwen > > Jo, it's amazing that you still have a sense of humor. I can't even > > imagine [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Jo lol Yes -- don't p*ss off a good house painter as they are hard to find. Sometimes family members can be really dense. That won't get better but this two shall pass. You've had surgery for heaven's sake. My hubby is off paddling this weekend -- in the rain. I have to get the house ready AGAIN, by myself for another open house. And get the cats into the car by myself AGAIN. And an agent called tonight and wanted to bring her clients by 45 minutes after the open house was over. Would that be okay. NO. Sitting in a car in the rain with two screaming cats for two hours will be fun but waiting another hour for some idiot who just can't make it 45 minutes earlier, I just don't think so. She sounded surprised. Told her she could come with them after the open house but I and my cats would be here. See, I can be beatchy too. And these days, it doesn't take much. rofl Duckie >>Well tell him to LOOK for them. If he can't find them, you should at least >>see someone today.

Fortunately it comes and goes. sounds like things are heading the right direction. I feel for you with the bugs in the ears.
