Hi ladies,
Sorry just wanted to sound off as felt really upset today. I'm 5 weeks post op from posterior repair and rectal plication and finding it hard going as usually I'm so active.
I feel like the least thing I try to do and I just feel so tired and I'm left with aching in lower abdomen and feel i have to hold myself, also that stinging feeling. Anyway I'm trying my best to get on with it, but a close family member who hasn't really seen me as they live away decided to say "why am I so miserable". I actually didn't think I was and other family members who live close by are being very supportive. I really wish people could understand just how difficult this recovery time can be. I know I really didn't expect it to be like it was but I just hope I would at least try to understand if it was someone else. Sorry about the moans. I just feel guilty that I may appear from the outside to be ok but it's actually been quite hard going.

No I haven't told her yet. She rang me back and asked if I would like to go and visit her. I had to say no as it's too far, also I would feel more isolated as she and her husband are in work and they live on a military base which is in the middle of nowhere. She is coming to stay overnight at the weekend so hopefully I can tell her then. She's normally so good, but like you say they always expect us to be the strong ones. Strangely enough it's my autistic son who seems to understand better even though he doesn't really have natural empathy. He actually saw me whilst in hospital though so saw me at my worst. Kids uh. Thanks so much for your understanding and support x
