Do any of you have prayer requests??

[Catty1]

Crystal, I think Hubby needs a smack up the side of the head, and you need to draw some boundaries while you are unwell.

Does he really 'want' you to do all this housework, or are you doing it without mentioning the pain you are in? See about having a professional cleaner come in once a week - because you HURT too much.

If you want to give up on something, give up on accepting less than the best for yourself.

1 - 2 days FMLA per MONTH???? How about some longer-term disability?

And how about some short-term counselling for yourself? You have migraines, now your arm is killing you, and that takes a toll on your emotions.

Don't give up; get angry and push for what YOU need. You come first.

HUGS!

prayers for all that need them....
Crystal - I have a few choice words to say to your husband but since this is family friendly forum I'll keep them to myself.

I won't go into some of hubby's issues here, it's the prayer thread, not the whine thread... lets just say he's not the happiest camper in the woods and is pretty sarcastic and nasty a good 90% of the time. I get about 10% of good mood from him.

I do have a dr. appointment Friday afternoon to see what's going on with my shoulder. I hope it's nothing major. My doctor deals in family and sports medicine, so hopefully he'll have a really good idea of what is going on.

Thanks ya'll.

In response to this even though I said I wouldn't whine...

He refuses to vacuum even though I've begged him every weekend for 4 weekends. He keeps saying, "if I have time" but doesn't have time because sports are on or he's too involved in his stupid video games. He's almost 40 (okay 38 in Sept) I think it's time he grow up and stop playing all the time and realize life is NOT all about fun and games, but work too.

A few years back I had surgery on my hand and it was in a cast for a bit of time. He wouldn't do a single dish - so I had to put on huge gloves and wrap a bag around my arm so I could do them. Yep, with my hand in a cast. It's hard to do dishes with 1 hand.

To quote Dr. Phil: "We teach people how to treat us". If your husband won't do his share around the house, hire help. You are in no condition to do all that you're doing. Don't bow down to the problem, take control of it. Best wishes to you.

I'm wondering if you have a torn rotater cuff which if that is the case surgery is in order. And Hubby is going to have to buck up and GROW up.
If not - you will need to go stay with someone who CAN take care of you after surgery b/c RC surgery isn't something to joke about.
I agree with Medusa. You teach people how to treat you and if you decided you are only worth how he treats you he of course is going to agree.
Maybe you should go stay somewhere for a few days and let him see what its like without you!

please pray for my co-worker's dog Chase. He shot out the door around 2:30pm today she and her mom chased him for awhile but she had to come to work, her mom had to leave and by the time her mom went to work tonite @ 7pm he wasn't home yet.
She is pretty worried as we all would be.
Please pray he's safe and comes home.

The doc says the problem with my shoulder actually started last June when I had a biopsy done on a lump in my right breast. I started favoring that arm because lifting things became harder and I was afraid I'd do damage to the stitches or the surgery site. So I'm been unconsiously favoring it for all this time. It just got to the point to where the shoulder said, "Hey, I can't move like I used to, I really want to" I feel slightly better today, except for the FLU I've had for 2 days. Thanks for all the prayers.
