I'm a single parent. Recently had to have surgery, in which there were complications requiring further surgery. I still feel vulnerable as all this scared me. After the first lot of surgery I was doing ok, a few days later was when the complications began. I was in extreme pain. I had been staying at my mum's during my recovery. I had my gallbladder removed and had leaking cystic ducts. During this my mum and sister were saying that I.m fine that I have a low pain threshold. My brother ended up calling me an ambulance. I was admitted into hospital and was basically kept in for 3 weeks in September. During this time I had to have an ercp and a liver drain. I also had numbers ct scans and a MRI ( in which I had a panic attack) When they allowed me home I initially struggled. But I wasn't allowed to be on my own. To my face my family were being supportive however a few times I've been upstairs and when Im coming down I hear comments about how I'm a drama queen, how I don't need to rest as much as I am, I was initially told to rest completely as I still had the drain attached. I gradually started doing some small bits myself. Since the drain has been removed I'm doing a lot more myself. Their comments have really hurt me especially seeing as I'm trying. I know it's not easy. But to hear that from the people id do anything for has really got to me. I know I'm generally very sensitive without all this.
