Update and opinions needed
Hey,
I'm sorry... I'm new to this particular forum. I spend a lot of time on the vsg forum, but just came here on a whim the night before my husband's extended tt , flank lipo, and chest contouring... so I don't know you either. I hope your issues improve soon!
His parents live about 15 minutes away, so she came by on Wednesday (the day after surgery) to help with him while I went to a job interview because the nurse at the hospital said he needed to have someone with him for at least the first 24 hours. However, he was already doing so well that he did not need help getting up and down, taking meds, or emptying his drains... so when I had to leave that afternoon to go work for four hours, I left him there alone and got a good friend to check on him... she brought him some frozen yogurt, one of his favorite treats and just visited for a few minutes so he wouldn't feel like I was sending out a babysitter lol. Yesterday, I worked a half a day as a substitute teacher during the day and worked my other job in the afternoon, but his mom stopped by to visit for a few minutes. So today, when I left to go to work for full day, I was a bit apprehensive about him being home alone all day.
The other problem is that I'm a bit clingy right now, for better or worse, because I'm between stable jobs at the moment, and part of me is admittedly paranoid that my husband is going to get frustrated with my lack of income and it'll cause too much of a strain between us... here in the US, finances break up marriages all the time, and I don't want to add that to my list of problems. We've been fighting more and more even before his surgery, so honestly I feel like I have to second guess everything I do when it comes to him.
I fully agree that anyone who has a major procedure done has some kind of unbalanced hormonal activity to varying degrees... seems only natural. I'm taking that into consideration right now with everything he says and does... hopefully we will both be able to look back on this later and laugh, or at least realize it was just another obstacle that we overcame.
Thank you for your prayers. I'm praying for your speedy recovery.

I wrote you a personal message.
I have spoken to some people from this Board and I have emailed on somewhat regular basis two or three people including a poster from here. However, everyone is entitled to their privacy if they so want it so I can understand that.

This English is my first language but I also think in Hebrew and am addicted to my iPhone which can cause for typos or unusual sentence structure especially as I am lax and lazy about spellcheck and tend to post/write in the middle of my night when I am after my pain meds.
