Not a lot of snow, but we did eventually get a foot of the stuff. Lasted for two weeks!

 

My husband is becoming frustrated with me. Not only is it because of my BP, it is because I need a back surgery, for the second time. I should be scheduled for surgery by March/April. A herniated disk is compressing my sciatic nerve and my leg is so weak and painful that I'm now using a cane to walk. It is hard to do chores around the house and help out. I feel really bad about that. It's makes me feel worthless. I'm also not working.

 

Last night husband said that if I need yet another surgery he'd divorce me. I'm really hurt because I can't help what is happening to me, as far as the back problem. I'm doing everything I can to take care of myself; taking my meds as prescribed; going to physical therapy as prescribed, but that doesn't seem to matter.

 

He also started bitching about my kids, and that really hurt too. They are good well-behaved children.

 

Things could be a lot worse but he only seems to look at his side of things, and is a negative person, sometimes.

 

I'm very hurt about the comments he made.

 

He did apologize, but I can't forget what he said. Now I am terrified of getting sick (again) or worse. I don't know how to handle this and I can feel myself falling back into a depression state as I write this.

 

Any advise would be appreciated. Thank you.
