So - goes without being said that I've had a lot of procedures, both under anesthesia and awake. They are not fun and I don't wish them on anyone...
The thing is - my sister is having a "female" procedure done, of course it's scary, of course no one wants to be in that scenario, but the DRAMA. And it's been eating at me because for so long - my being sick and feeling like shit has been either brushed off or looked down upon or...and just has never mattered enough.
So - my mom is sending her flowers and buying her things and I have NEVER been bought flowers after a procedure, or after I was diagnosed with a chronic illness or after I was told that I was "just strange" (a doctor told me that once) while I sobbed. But I have to sit and watch while she's coddled...I've always felt like I'm complaining, like I'm the annoying one and I just need to deal with it because this is my life - this is my body - this is what I have to deal with - but it kills me when something like this happens.
Can anyone relate?
