SP, it's time for me to go to bed - have to wake up early tomorrow.
I hope you will have an emotionally not so challenging day under the circumstances and will have a chance to get a positive blast from your beagles.
Sending you positive vibes. And big virtual hugs.

Dad travels for work too, daily. His wife is weird. Don't like her.

Got it. As you continue feeling better you won't have to rely on mr p which will be a huge relief. I remember you saying he didn't want you to have the surgery a few months ago, but seriously....what an ass! God forbid he's ever in a position to need some help. This kind of thing brings out peoples true colors....be it good or bad.
Hope you can get a nap this afternoon.

Tom will help with next dose of meds, maybe a nap will happen after that.
He got my doctor's name and number. He is calling in the morning about refills and about a yellow bruise on my chest/neck area.

Good! Having Tom in charge should put you more at ease.
The more I think about mr p's reactions the more it reminds me of my ex. It's so incredibly narcissistic...like he thinks the sole reason you had this surgery was to inconvenience him! Grrrrrr!!

Yeah, he keeps commenting about how tired and hungry he is. That he has low blood sugar, no time, and on and on. I understand it is taxing him, but the comments that I did this to myself, shouldn't have done it, that it's mostly in my head, etc are extremely hurtful and invalidating.
Tom was on him pretty hard the first two days when he saw he wasn't helping me much. He let his anger out on me, slamming doors, yelling. He scares me right now. If he accidentally bumps me while angry then that could mean further surgery, if he moves something. I am actually afraid to be around him.
Not to mention he is hateful and cold.

Then be around him as little as possible for your own safety and peace of mind. He knew you were having this surgery, you'd think he would've prepared himself that AS YOUR HUSBAND it was his responsibility and privilege to take care of you. Hard to understand such incredible selfishness. I wouldn't even treat a stranger like that.
For your own sanity might be best to just accept that he is not going to take care of you...that way you won't continue to be disappointed. So very sad.

I'm happy for the good news that your dad is there. And I like the sound of squash soup!

Dad isn't here. I called him, asked him to help me. He asked to speak to Brian, but Brian refused. Tom talked to my dad. He got off the phone without letting me know if he'd come here. I don't think he is coming. He couldn't believe me when I said Brian isn't being very nice to me.
Just keep in mind. There's a reason why I detached from my family. It is my dad's style to blame the one who is helpless, side with the aggressor, and justify things. They made me crazy in my youth and I left and didn't look back. There a reason why my dad rarely calls. And that's it's me who has to call.
