Subject: RE: BS: Prayers & Healing Thoughts 4 the P-Vine
Well, in a nutshell, she is in a lot of pain and depressed over it...
They told her 6 weeks minimum but she must not have internalized what 6 weeks means or just how much pain is involved in a mastectomy 'cause folks in hospitals tend to sugar-coat reality... That hasn't changed since my late wife, Judy, was treated...
I mean, I don't think it's all that easy to fully prepare women for the pain they are going to have from a mastectomy...
So, yeah, it's frustrating... Here I am in the middle of a very difficult move to NC which is going to take 5 to 6 trips (2 this week) and I have a wife in a lot of pain and not a lot of tolerance for the stuff...
So that's the story... Bad timing but I gotta do what I gotta do on both fronts... Right now??? It sucks...
But it could be worse... That's the only way to look at things and not go mad...
Sorry...
