I Am Stressed Out

It's difficult seeing my wife in this much pain. The cancer may be gone, but the pain and agony isn't.

When is her next doctor's appointment? She may need a change in her meds. He may need to change the dosage or frequency. Don't let her suffer in pain. Take her back. Pain can be hard to regulate after surgery.

I am sorry for her suffering. Are you okay? I am glad she has you for support. Who do you have? I think I remember you said you have family and friends.

@PoetryNEmotion She's in the hospital. She's been here for over a week.

@MojoJojo Then she is in the best place for her to be helped. They can work on pain control. Are you okay? You have people supporting you and her?

@PoetryNEmotion People are "praying," but actually requesting help is pretty much inconveniencing people.

@MojoJojo Inconveniencing? How so?

@PoetryNEmotion It's pretty simple. They don't give a shit. Everyone says "I'm here if you need me," but it's not true.

@MojoJojo Then you need people around you who mean it. Those words. Are there not any?

@PoetryNEmotion If there are, I haven't found them.

@MojoJojo Must be a few. Is there a religious person? A caring nurse? Someone? Those words mean something to someone who truly cares. Look around. They are somewhere near you. Just find them. You need someone who cares. *looks sad, but hopeful*

@MojoJojo Have you found anyone caring yet?

MojoJojo · 36-40, M

@PoetryNEmotion I can't tell if you're being serious.

@MojoJojo I am. No one yet? What is wrong with people? You need help and no one helps.
