Yeah, I get it; the people closest to us sometimes don't get it whatsoever. But, you're lucky! You found this site and there are people, here, who do get you and would love to help as they can!
So sorry to hear of your mva... it happens, right? Really, I do hope that you get past this as painlessly and quickly as is possible! Hope you've got some great docs and that they pay attention!
I think it's impossible for those who have not been through it to truly understand. But, as in my case, they can still be helpful, caring, and understanding in their behaviour! Just tell it like it is.. you know what they say "they" can do if they can't take it, right?
Best, hon.. feel better and take it easy!
