ubkev Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Not useless. That's gonna mean a lot more than you think it does I bet. Sorry to hear about your wife, but at least now she can pursue a job she likes Oh she definitely appreciated them. And it definitely brightened her day a little. I just feel, actually I don't know what I feel. She's filled out 8 applications and applied for unemployment in the span of 16 hours. The girl is hard as nails and I'm bringing her flowers lol.

You did the right thing and your gesture was heartfelt and bigger than you know. Most women want you to listen to them and understand what they're going thru but don't want you "solving" their problems for them. The flowers showed her that you get what she's going thru and you tried to brighten her day while staying out of the way. We men have a need to fix/solve things to make them right. I get the helplessness you're feeling...just have to give her the space to deal with things as she sees fit. Tough just waiting around though. :beer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 I had to read a suicide note about an hour ago. It's not anyone I knew or anything; it's a piece of evidence. But still, wow, that *sucked*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josie Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 (edited) My sister hasn't been well for a long time. She couldn't really afford to go to a doctor. Tuesday we found out she has a tumor the size of a softball in her uterus. She is 33 and will have a hysterectomy soon. She stands to lose her job if she's out for too long. She is a cancer survivor already. We don't know if it's just a fibroid or cancer yet. I'm optimistic. My uncle has advanced prostate cancer. He has been given a poor prognosis. My father isn't well. Nor is my mother. My family is disintegrating around me. I'm really fu*king sick of sickness right now. I'm paying closest to $700 a month for my health insurance right now... I guess I'll use it to get a shrink, because I don't know how to cope with all of this. Edited June 22, 2017 by Josie914 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josie Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 I haven't felt "good" in probably 8 months. Whatever this stomach issue is is slowly getting worse and worse. If I have learned anything from all the sh!t in my life right now... Go to a doctor. No diagnosis, not getting better? GO TO ANOTHER DOCTOR. my sister was going to a doc for 4 years who managed to miss this massive tumor... you can see the thing through her skin. The idiot had her on drugs that made bleeding worse, she was having cluster migraines and almost stroked out. If it's cancer, we are suing. Good luck. I hope you can find an answer. God knows I know how awful what you're feeling is. Stomach stuff is the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And thanks, I just got the results from the ultrasound, and they're what I expected. No stones. I now need to find a way to get that other scan, whose name I can't remember at the moment, that checks for your gallbladder's functionality. The ultrasound doesn't do that and I don't have the symptoms of stones, just those of not having any bile enter my system from time to time.

Taro T Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Wife lost her job yesterday. I feel terrible for her. The money isn't a concern. And she didn't particularly like her job to begin with. But I don't like feeling helpless when it comes to her. She's incredibly self reliant and independent and would never ask for help, but I can't help myself from wanting to help in anyway that I can. On the bright side, this will allow her to try and go back to her true passion, which is personal care for the mentally disabled or personal care for the elderly. I'm going to get her flowers on my way home from work, now. Useless, I know, but it's all I got right now. Seems like you're on the right track. Hope she finds sonething she likes soon.

Anyways hospice has been wonderful for her and us. She absolutely wants to die at home and that's exactly where it going to happen. Her few weeks of it that is. This is a story of how wonderful hospice really is. https://news.google.com/news/amp?caurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnn.com%2F2017%2F06%2F14%2Fhealth%2Fhospice-julianna-snow-heaven-over-hospital-erpise%2Findex.html#pt0-238808 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She works 60-70 hours a week. She has a masters degree and is fluent in 5 languages. Never good enough. Mercenary mentality out there. Disability will only get her so far if it all works out.

As tough as it is, trying to stay positive is a must in the fight against cancer. Thoughts & prayers to you, your sis, and your family. Thanks for sharing. Thanks ExWNYer :) I haven't felt "good" in probably 8 months. Whatever this stomach issue is is slowly getting worse and worse. Don't mess around. Get to the doctor and get answers. If you're still not sure of what they're telling you, get a second or even third opinion. A lot of men don't bother going to the doctor because they feel it's not macho or that it's nothing and will eventually go away and then it's too late. A yearly physical should be part of your routine, especially as you get older. I hope that your stomach issue is nothing and you're feeling better soon. Indeed. Cancer is a ###### ###### that needs to have its ###### ads kicked. The hospice nurse doesn't expect Mom to be here by Monday. Gruesome. Unjust. I had a fit of rage and cursed God and the angels for making her suffer this cruel indignity. I've been through this with close friends but seeing your mother's light go out has soured me completely. I'll never have faith again. Ever. I'm truly sorry. My beloved mom passed of complications due to Non-Hodgkin lymphoma in 2008. Still the worst day of my life. She was the sweetest person I've ever known and also the toughest for the physical ailments she had to endure throughout her life. She had strep throat as a child which went unchecked and turned into rheumatic fever and damaged two of her heart valves. She had three separate open heart surgeries...one in the '70s, one in the '80s, & another in the '90s. I still don't know how she did it...I don't think that I have one tenth of the strength that she had. Strangely enough, I was 44 when she passed...same as a couple of others in here. Anyway, I can empathize and know what you're going thru. It's times like these that drive home how unfair life can be. I know it's not much but please know that I am thinking of you and your mom. Stay strong for her and your family. You will come out okay on the other side and eventually the pain will lessen with time. For now, cherish every precious second that you have with her. Peace to you and yours. BTW, the best thing about 'Complaint Thursdays' is it's now only a couple of minutes until Friday. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
