I had surgery on the 21st, so just over two weeks ago.  I am finally feeling good.  In fact today I felt great because I had dropped a pant size.  My DD's choir sang the anthem at the OHL hockey game today so I was so excited to be getting out.

 

i was so proud of my daughter and myself.  We went out for dinner and I just had a tea.  Then I walked right by all the poutine, pizza and popcorn with very little temptation.  I was feeling frat.

the I rolled both ankles and fell down the stairs going to my seat!!!!  Wth!  I was mortified.  People were crowded all around including school parents and neighbours.  Then the St.johns ambulance. Crew came by to wrap my ankle.  I just cra pled to my seat and want to hind and find comfort in a poutine.

 

i was amble to limp my way home.  I really hope I didn't strain any of my stomach or intestines.  I went fri feeling amazing to wanting to hide in a pit 😩

And to make matters worse my hubby moved seats because he was embarrassed 😡

sorry just needed to vent

Vent away, you deserve to vent.  That amazing feeling will be back, and your ankles will heal.  Not your fault that you fell.  Tell hubby "Thanks for the support" and he owes you something pretty, maybe a new pair of pants.

Oh boy! What promised to be a great evening turned sour in a hurry. Good for you for not resorting to poutine to find the comfort that your hubby could have provided! I think if he doesn't treat you to some new pants (or something better)... You should treat yourself! ☺️ Hang in there...even better days ahead!

Wow, I am sorry to hear that. But look at it this way, the life changes we we're taught to and told to make in Orientation went into action. You were embaressed sure, I think anyone would be in that situation were all human, yet like W8 No More stated you didn't find comfort in the routines of the past. You've just learned a bit early to put it into effect.

Thanks Everyone! I was surprised at the craving for poutine but realized it wasn't true hunger, so it was good in away because I realize I need to find new coping skills.

 

I agree hubby is in dog house.

So you had major surgery 2 weeks ago, you fell down (regardless of how embarrassing the situation was) and husband gets up and moves his seat because he's embarrassed? You've since filed for divorce right? Or at the very least called a good marriage counsellor for counselling?

I slept on this before commenting because I didn't want to hurt your feelings but it ate away at me and I thought a lot about it. I just had to say something.

You don't deserve that. You deserve someone who runs to your side and protects you no matter what and I know you're going to start realizing that over the course of your journey. He will to and hopefully will start acting like a real man should.

I wish you all the best and hope that your husband smartens up soon and sees what he has in front of him before it goes away.

What a horrible experience! I agree, you deserve better - I'm glad you told him that behaviour isn't ok.
