Greg has only had CH for three years, but this last cycle was the worst for him, and the Dr. said sometimes with each cycle they change and get worse. But he only woke me up twice all the other nights he was by himself. It kind of hurt my feelings, because if I was in that much pain I would need him with me. He finally told me why,
he said I bugged him to much, by saying " You are smoking to much, You shouldn't have any beer, Let me take to the ER, Let me call the DR. blah blah,
Sometimes we sound like a mother, but you know what I am not his mother and neither are you. So back off a little, let Bryan take control of his own pain. Be there for him if he needs you, but this is all on him. So, when I would hear Greg up and pacing, I would just ask, you in a lot of pain hon, he would say yes, Do you need me I would ask. He would say no, I would say, call me if you do. okay. You can't help someone if they don't want your help, no matter how much you want to. It must be a guy thing.
Oh, by the way, if Greg stormed off and left me in the Gyro,(which he would never do, because he does not want this Italian woman in his face) believe me, when he felt better, he would pay dearly.
Bryan, owes you an apology and a reason why he could just walk out on you. Tell him how you feel and if he doesn't like it =tough
