The One That Pissed Me Off

I have never ever posted on this blog looking for sympathy. Not one single entry has ever been made in the hopes of generating a huge outpouring of sympathy. This is MY blog. It is about my husband, but it is written by ME, about ME. I have no idea how my husband feels about the cards he has been dealt, and I have no idea what it feels like for anyone else. I am writing about how I feel. If you don't like Trev, don't read it.

I have never even imagined what it feels like to be my friend Erin whose husband was waiting for a second liver transplant. I have never imagined what it feels like to be my friend Dawn whose husband has had his liver transplant. I have never imagined what it feels like to be my friend Brandee who deals with Crohn's disease. I have never imagined what it felt like for my amazing cousin Amanda to battle leukemia only to lose that battle. And I certainly have never imagined how all the other PSCer's that I have connected with feel everyday.

I am not the one that deals with the health problems. I am the one that takes care of Rick, goes with him to every single appointment, stands by him through everything he has gone through. I don't ask him to feel sorry for me and I most certainly don't ask any one that happens to read this blog to feel sorry for me.

I started this blog so that our families could follow us during our visit to the Mayo Clinic. It is great that I have found some truly wonderful friends through blogging. But it was started as a means to keep family up to date, not to solicit sympathy.

If you don't know why I am writing this let me tell you. Some jerk named Trev claims that I am self centered because I wrote about trying to find MY normal. He thinks that writing about myself is self centered. I am the author of this blog and I am writing about my point of view. And like Rick said, isn't blogging self centered in itself? I mean, everyone's blogs are about themselves. Wouldn't that be considered self centered? I consider self centered someone that posts a comment about themselves accusing me of being self centered and not understanding the situation.

I have felt the need to enable comment moderation on the blog now so that I can monitor what is left in the comments. I have several friends that do that on their blog and so I will now be doing the same thing.

If you have commented here before and are worried that I think your comments were bad, please don't worry. This is only about Trev and his hurtful comment. I appreciate all the support and love and hugs that have been sent via this blog. Please don't be afraid to comment because of this. I promise I will still read them all and post them too (unless they are mean).

And now back to your regular blogging enjoyment.....
