I had surgery 3 weeks ago this Wednesday. I have been readmitted, in the ER twice, about 10 doctor and anti-coag appointments and not one of my family members has thought to call and see how I am. I could have died and they wouldn't know.
I knew my family has issues, thats why I made it a point to live away from them, but this really is starting to hurt.
1|1|I'm so sorry your family is so inconsiderate :( Just remember Robin, it's not YOU, it's THEM.....you are a great gal, and we love you :)|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|18:29:56|10/27/2008|

Our families must somehow be related, & you & I must be adopted. For a long time I was made to feel there was something wrong w/me. I learned a long time ago it isn't me & that unfortunately, it happens in more families than just mine. I'm just sorry it does happen in other families & that it's also in yours. :(
Take care & please try not to let it get you down.

Please identify yourself in 1st email. If I haven't traded w/you before, I will require *legit* trade references & will gladly provide the same.
3|1|Sorry Robin, it is their loss believe me, you are a sweetie!!!!|padrifter|bride@nb.net|19:07:29|10/27/2008|
Just wanted you to know that we all care about you and what a wonderful and kind person you are. Your family has no clue what they are missing, chin up, Nancy 4|1|Your "RS" family cares about you!|sunriver|lithiasalt@cheerful.com|20:36:10|10/27/2008|
I know it is hard to deal with toxic people, but just remember that you are surrounding yourself with people who care about you.
How are you feeling? Did you find some soup that was better than what you had (I'm remembering a post awhile back about soup).
Be well and be strong.

6|1|Thanks ladies (M)|RobinsCrazyWorld|robinmarie72@gmail.com|20:59:13|10/27/2008|
I guess I am just having a pity party for 1 here. I know very well how my family is and this shouldn't come as a shock (well my mom not calling is a major shock, but after my visit late last month, a break from here is needed... Maybe even a permanent one). I guess what really got me was the fact that I called my Dad from the ER on Friday when I was getting the IV antibiotics and left him a voive mail. He has not responded at all to it. It kinda feels like they have pretty much forgotten about me.
I think I am just tired of all these medical issues that have come up and all the extra trips I have had to make. This has become a bit of a nightmare and i am sick of living on my couch with my feet up! Also I am not a person to ask for help. I have had to rely on everyone I know here to help me get where i need to go. I go to a new anti-coag clinic tomorrow for the first time. I already decided I am going to try and take the bus and go on my own. The same thing will happen on Thursday when I see my suergon about the infection i now have. He wanted me to come in today but there was no way I could get there. Then they wanted me to go in tomorrow, but i can't do that AND the appointment I have set up later in the afternoon. Just too much to do when I am going on the bus. So now I have an appointment every day this week. I have rides home for most, but am going to get myself to each one.
I just wish I had someone I could count on and that would be able to go through this with me so I don't feel so alone all the time.

I would even make soup for you, LOL!
That makes me think of Seinfeld, "no soup for you!"
Sending you some good thoughts tonight. Hang in there! vanessa
8|1|Robin, if I remember right, you are on disability right? Please email what city, state you are in and I will see what resources I can find for you. I think I can find transportation to and from the doctor's appointments.|Ranalt|ainebailey@gmail.com|22:20:05|10/27/2008|
Also, you can pick your friends, but unfortunately you can't pick your family.
I am sorry that your family hasn't called and checked up on you.
Even though you get used to their ways, it still hurts.
Like everyone else has said, you have a family here.
Sometimes, that is more.
Life is like a cup of tea,
It's all in how you make it.

9|2|Oh, I found a service (I don't qualify for most because I "receive too much money". My case worker helped me. The service I found needs a 4 day notice. I usually have a 1, and if i am lucky, 2 day notice. |RobinsCrazyWorld|robinmarie72@gmail.com|22:27:31|10/27/2008|
I put in papers for the bus service's lift program (takes disabled people to their appointments) but it takes almost a month to get an answer if you are approved. 10|3|LOL, "TOO" much money on disability?? That is crazy. |Ranalt|ainebailey@gmail.com|22:36:50|10/27/2008|

i live off of $728 a month and do everything for myself (i.e. pay my bills, food and so forth) and that is too much in the states eyes. 13|1|From across the country Robin, I care. I just wanted you to know, I can't get to|Mackiesmudder|Mackiesmudder@aol.com|23:33:16|10/27/2008|

I found out very young how important it is to build a strong network of friends around you, where you are there for them and they are there for you. It works out great for everyone, because there are a lot of people who do not get help or encourgagement from their familys. For me this happens through the church.
