Frustrated Stress
I haven't written on this blog in over 5 years. I used to come here as a place to vent and I really haven't had the need to do so until now. Lots of things have happened in that time, good and bad. Tracy has had her transplant, open heart surgery, hernia repair, and weight-loss surgery. All which have gone extremely well and put her on a good path. There have been many ups and downs but most good be prepared for decreasing any stress or frustration major life events normally cause. Lately she has been having horrible back/leg pain which is causing her to not be able to work. Multiple doctors so far have tried to find a cause or at least treat the pain and nothing has worked. Because of this I have been feeling an intense amount of frustration and stress. With Tracy being off work for her back issues we will be pretty tight in a few weeks if things don't change. Add on top of that the increasing amount of bills coming in for various reasons and I am beyond stressed. Add to that the frustration of not being able to do anything about her increasing back/leg pain and doctors not coming up with anything either and it is putting me in a bad place. Plus she is in a bad place because she feels useless not being able to work when she has been able to work through all of her other issues. With decreasing income, increasing bills, decreasing mood for the two of us I just don't know what we are going to do. Some of my stress could be alleviated by her getting her FMLA and short-term disability paperwork done but between her depression and her pain she has no desire to do it. As much as I do for her to be helpful and supportive I cannot do these things and they are just adding to my already high levels of stress and frustration.
