So, my doc had set up the D&C for July 1 as the baby’s heartbeat was no good. I had horrendous PTSD going back to that hospital as it’s the same one I was in for all my miscarriages, as well as the bed-rest for the twins. My son passed away in my arms there and my daughter struggled for her life for 64 days. All the while I was there, each and every time, my SA was doing his thing and completely useless. I begged my dad to go with me but he couldn’t {prior obligations} so I dropped the baby off at my parents house and my POS SA “thing” had to go with me. It was horrifying.
After the procedure was done I felt alright..usual cramps and pain but nothing out of the ordinary. 2 days later I became deathly ill. High fever, chills, non-stop vomiting and bowel problems, hemorrhaging, etc. At first I thought I had caught a virus but as the hours ticked by, I knew I had a uterine infection from the procedure. I am all too familiar with the symptoms as that is what eventually threw me into labor at 28 weeks with the twins. I had to send my daughter back to my parents and my SA called in sick to work. Even being THAT ill did NOT stop the PTSD. All I could remember was that the last time I felt this type of pain, I was lying in a hospital bed begging my SA not to leave as I knew something was wrong, and he walked out, claiming he could not be late for work and needed rest..and instead, he went to see a hooker, thus leaving me in agony and eventually in labor by myself. He wasn’t even there when they were born. I didn’t want HIM to be the one home with me whilst going through something like this again {although I obviously couldn’t be in labor since they just did the D&C, but you understand}. After 2 days and much panic I was able to get some antibiotics in me. I still feel ill, but it will take time to heal and clear up.
During all this my 2 year old daughter had what appeared to be mosquito bites on her arms. Yesterday, I noticed the bite marks had changed and now she has the classic bullseye rash that you get from a tick bite. Started on one arm where she had a bite, and now the rash is on the other arm as well. I had to take her to the pedi this morning and he drew blood, and now I wait to see if she has Lyme Disease. All the while, my SA is sitting around like a robot. Just a few minutes ago he called me from work and said he wishes he could do something to make everything disappear. Ok buddy, how about admitting you’re a sick bastard and get the proper treatment you need???
Anyhow, didn’t mean to get off track on the health. So right now my infection appears to be clearing up although I’m still in pain, and my daughter appears unaffected so far but I’m very afraid of Lyme Disease…..
Just wanted to give an update. Sorry for any typos or grammatical errors.July 9, 2011 at 2:19 am #15309joannParticipantMy god woman! I am at a loss for words. Just feel my arms around you and take whatever strength from me that you need. You are in my thoughts. Love and light to you.
July 9, 2011 at 5:24 am #15310cbslifeMemberHH – I just don’t know what to say. I feel for you more than you could ever know. They say things happen for a reason but geez, what the hell could it be?!!! 🙂 I know you don’t want to laugh right now, but I sure hope something happens to you soon that gives you reason to smile. We’ll always be here for you and sending love and prayers to you. Please take good care of yourself the best you can. It’s time for you to focus on you and regain your strength. Lots of well wishes . . . CB
July 9, 2011 at 2:30 pm #15311zumbagirlMemberHH, I too am at a loss for words. I wish I could be there with you in person. I really don’t understand this life sometimes. What I DO know is that you are one of the strongest women I have ever come across. You are raising a daughter who is going to become an amazing woman; I have no doubt. I’m sending you hugs and positive energy!! LOTS of love to you, ZG

I am so glad you updated us. So sorry for your PTSD pain and physical pain…all in one. If still amazes me how cruel some people can be. Your h has lots of problems and I so wish you strength at this time. I will pray for you. There is a reason for much of this, and it is your husband’s choices that have caused much trouble in your life. I hope this trial ends sooner than you think. As Zumbagirl stated, you are raising an amazing gal! You are making such a difference in her life. I hope you can be apart from h soon, if that is what you think is best. A shelter may be better than living with him. Only you know that, but we all want the best for you, not only in the future, but TODAY!!!
Lots of love,

Take care of yourself the best you can. Someday you will be out of there, i know it cannot come too soon. but keep your eyes on the future of what will be better. Take care of yourself. You are in crises mode, and do the best you can. Are your parents close enough so you can live with them??I know we talk about getting our needs met. and i think right now you truely need them. Its not that you are taking advantage, but this is a crises, and this is when you need your parents most. Getting out of that house with the SA is the best thing you can do. Maybe you are to proud, maybe you feel you would be taking advantage…but I think you really really need to get out of that life with your SA. And i think by any means possible. Is this an option for you?? I am just posting this idea as they must be somewhere nearby and they watched your daughter during the procedure?

I agree with Flora. Your husband needs a good kung foo and karate chop! I think if your could live elsewhere, like with your parents, you’d feel so much better being away from him. He only gives you pain and you already have enough on your plate. Hope you feel better and please let us know what you think about getting out of there.Love, nap
