I just need to vent. A “friend” I haven’t seen in months posted on my FB wall yesterday. She said at least my problems are manageable. HUH???
I realize that some people have problems in life. She can’t find a good paying job, her ex husband is a jerk and her 16 year old daughter hates her and everything she makes her do with her. The father has custody of the daughter and 2 sons.
She doesn’t have much money to do anything with her kids, and I feel bad for her. I really do. And I wish I could help her.
But to say at least MY problems are manageable?? I saw her last night and said that, yeah, my problems are manageable. I wake up every morning and thank God that he gave me another day. I look in the mirror and check my eyes every day. I take my temperature every morning. I get a fever, I end up in the hospital. I get dizzy, I have an MRI done on my head to make sure I don’t have a brain tumor. Most people go to an Ear, Nose & Throat specialist first. I pray every night that I can have a potentially life threatening surgery sometime soon. And that I can live with 1/3 of my liver. And that I don’t have complications from the surgery. And that the surgeon gets it all (which is doubtful) and the oblation works to kill all the rest of the cancer cells so I can hopefully go 2+ years without a recurrence. And that I will “get” to have CT scans every 3 months for 2-5 years. Yeah, it’s manageable.
Her response was: but I look healthy.
What else do you say to people like that?
Thanks for being here so I can vent! Sometimes I need it. And thanks for being so supportive of all of us. Without this site I don’t know what I would have done this past year.
