My SO had valve replacment surgery three weeks ago. He was sick for a long time before that but the doctors continually missed what was wrong with him - probably because he is pretty young. I'm sure you all understand the shock we got 6 weeks ago when he was diagnosed.
I am just exhausted and constantly tearful but feel that beacuse he is now 'fixed' people expect me to be back to normal. I can't even take the slightest criticism without wanting to burst into tears. My other half if off work for three months but I am certainly not. I don't know how I'm going to manage everything and give him the support he needs. I am only 26 but feel about 100. I've got to the stage where I ignore phonecalls because I can't bear to talk to anyone.
I love him so much but just can't see past the current situation. I feel that this post makes me sound really selfish, but I was really glad to find this forum as I can't be the only person out there who has felt like this.
