Hi Leona, I can't imagine what you are going thru but I'm glad that you are still able to advocate for yourself. Do you have others who are able to advocate on your behalf?

Stay well (as well as you can). My thoughts are with you.

Leona, I am crying as I empathized with your post. I am pre op but understand the need to feel heard, not judged and above all cared for compassionately. People who deal with chronic pain could likely also commiserate. I think we hold people to higher standards when we ourselves are passionate about caring for other people. Our passion is a defining trait that a lot of these nurses didn't bring with them to nursing school.

I know you weren't looking for any type of response in particular but I wanted you to know I read this and felt for you, sending positive healing and healthy thoughts your direction. I hope you continue to find the strength you need to bare this battle. Message me if you ever need to just vent, I'm a great listener/reader. :)

Wishing you health, your Michigan neighbor.
