This week

Hello everyone, last Monday had to have an aspiration due to swelling. Then Thursday morning had DCIS removed, they filled my breast with local anesthesic, went home after 5 hours. Pain started getting worse, then swelling. My so called partner just said take panadol & Celebrex. That didn't work. After a while the Pain was even worse & swelling had increased, so again I asked my so called partner to look at it. Again he said take medication & just rest. By now I'm feeling like a hypochondriac. Again I asked him to look at it and was told the same thing. Then he went to bed. I was stuck in the chair, the Pain was horrendous, the swelling had gone nearly to my collar bone, very hard. So I called Nurse on Call, she said go straight away to ER. I woke up my so called partner, told him I was in acute pain & distress & told him what the nurse said. His response "I can't drive you anywhere, I'm over 0.5. Then he rolled over & went back to sleep. I was shocked & crushed. I then had to call my brother at 11pm to take me to ER. Had secondary operation that afternoon. Told I had a massive bleed, have to stay in hospital a few more days, get a district nurse to come everyday. My last 2 days have been hell. Even though my breast/chest is still extremely sore, I am confused, hurt, angry, pissed off that this man couldn't give a shit. I now have a drainage tube. This man said the words " I love you, will stick by you, will be with you all the way. But it was all lies. Both the 2 surgeries & abandonment by my so called partner has upset me greatly. I told him over sms to move out for a week, so I can make a rash decision about what ever relationship we might have left. But I reckon it's over. He could have called either a  Dr or Ed but instead went to bed.

  • @Cora - I am so sorry that you had to go thru this emotional & physical turmoil.  That is unforgivable behaviour by your ex partner ... Thank God your brother was able to get you to hospital & immediate treatment.  

    Your personal safety is paramount ..... do you have someone else who could move in with you in the mean time, both for company & in case of another emergency, as you may not be able to function properly on your own just yet until you've fully healed? xx

    take care & all the best 
  • Gargh!!!
     I've never really understood the old saying 'sort the sheep from the goats'. What does that mean? Is a sheep better? A goat? I guess in your case it means you thought you had one and it looks like you had the other. 
    Best to live without either, maybe?
  • Hello @Cora. I am disgusted to hear your story but oh so relate to it  Thought this one might give you a giggle as you recover:
