Dear Ann Marie
My adhesion pain started after a bad c-section, too. I
understand how guilty you can feel when it affects everything,
even your kids. I think that's even worse than the pain,
because it seems so unfair.
I hate being on the pain meds, but I have no choice and
I've stopped worrying about when I'll come off them.
Fortunately, my husband is understanding, but no one
else seems to, or to care, to be honest. I've had to
give up work because they kept asking when I'd be better,
they didn't understand that I might not. And I hate that
I can barely walk some days, let alone do all the things
I used to love doing.
The only advice I can give is to keep going. I don't
know how! I struggle with that myself most days. But
my kids are fantastic (6 and 4). They've never known
me any different and, although I might hate it, they
know that there are things Mum can't do and they just
accept it. It is depressing to think that, at such a
young age (32), this might be the rest of my life, but
for my kids I can't let it get me down. Or at least I
have to battle that.
Please keep trying. Take each day as it comes. They
may find a barrier that works or something, after all.
And as for complaining, if no-one else wants to hear it,
or like me, you hate bothering your family all the time,
unload it here or contact me direct if you wish. Sites
like this are a life saver for people who need
somewhere to off load without feeling guilty.
Hope things pick up for you. I'm thinking of you.
Cristyn
