[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm so sorry you're going through this.

I was recently in a similar situation. My husband was acting all crazy and weird, until he blew up one night and we had a huge fight, then I went to bed and had a thyroid storm which sent me straight to the hospital in an ambulance. The underlying thyroid issue was not his fault, but the stress of the fight was the reason it was triggered that night. I had an arduous recovery and am now suffering from stress-induced orofacial pain, which is costing me sleepless nights and expensive specialists.

I have no sympathy for your husband, just as I have no sympathy for mine. They should both be able to pick up the slack and cut corners if necessary. They're adults and should know not to worry someone about to have surgery (for you), and not to act crazy (for me). It's pretty awful on his part to do this to you.

However, put it away in the back of your mind for now, because you need to focus exclusively on yourself! Psychological health matters a lot and will impact your surgery and ability to recover. Perhaps you can confide in a friend? I wasn't going to, but my son told his best friend about our fight (he had overheard everything) and the best friend's mother, also my good friend, was very kind and supportive.

Is it possible to have a back-up system for your care or your children's care? Can your parents share the childcare with your MIL? Can they relay each other? Can you line up good friends to visit you in the hospital and at home with meals or just friendly visits? I was pretty depressed at one point, but some of my friends popped in just to talk a little bit and it really cheered me up. My parents came to cook and clean and take care of the kids, bless them!

Please try to relax as much as you can. Let go of anything that's not related to your well-being. You can also talk to your doctors about your level of stress.[/quote]
