Oh ((((( Blue )))))
I am so sorry aboout ds and dh. No, you don't deserve it. You are just being yourself and they don't like it. But if you tried to change them it would be different.
People just don't get it or us.
Hugs,
Laurie

You'd be suprised Caly! Most of the time it's really stupid too. My first exposure was over 7 years ago. I had a patient with a really bad nose bleed. It finally came under control and I was just cleaning him up....and he sneezed. He shot blood into my eyes, nose and mouth. I had an incident where I was draining a foley catheter and the clip was stuck so I was trying to pry it open. I pulled it too forcefully, the clip released but the drain splashed me in the eyes with urine. So I got to spend an hour in the ER with my eyes forcefully propped open having saline run into them. Good times.........lol. Alot of the exposures are needle sticks, people recapping needles when it's against hospital policy to recap any used needle. Alot our needles now have a cap that is removed and once the needle is used a cover that slides up the syrine to cover the needle......and I still see nurses trying to put the original cap back on!

Anyway, occupational hazard.......it can happen in a second and most people go through it a few times.

I know I've said this before, but your DH and DS don't have a right to use you as an emotional punching bag. They can be hurt, scared, confused, upset..........this is all normal. BUT, no one has the right to treat you that way.

It does get better, it just takes time. You deserve all the happiness in the world!

I have not yet mentioned my sexuality to my GYN. Interestingly, she didn't ask if I was sexually active at my last appointment. I'm thinking of asking our new friends who just found out that one of them is pregnant who they see. I'm sure they are going to a gay-friendly OB.


I think that knowing your partner's or potential partner's history with respect to STDs is important. One of our new friends informed us of all the possibilities of things that could happen when sleeping with more than one person (I don't even remember half of them now), so it is important to be careful.


As far as my own health goes, I have to watch my blood pressure and cholesterol. I had high blood pressure for a while after having DD2. It's better now, but I still like to keep an eye on it occasionally. I'm pretty good about keeping up with physicals and various other routine tests.

It is a better day today, Bleue, you are right. It is weird, however. Dh came to our "New Teacher Luncheon." He has never expressed any interest in anything I have ever done with the union, except complain that I shouldn't be involved. Then we went outlet shopping together. Very strange.

BTW, I did mess up everybody else's life, so I knew there would be some retribution. Sucks

I know, I know. I need to get over myself. The pity party needs to end. Okay, soon. I'm just walking around here feeling relieved, free, happy, and gay (wink) and everyone else is a mess. They need to lighten up. It's not like I have some life threatening disease or anything. Well, it's going to take awhile and I wish the Lesabian Fairy would grant my three wishes this week.

Yes, ma'am. My ds was all about how he's been through all kinds of crap in his life, but he stood up "grabbed his balls"(why do guys always do that??lol)and did what he had to do. What he conveniently forgets is all the lying, stealing, sneaking around, cheating, etc. that he did when he was abusing alcohol and other drugs. I wanted so bad to throw that into his face, but no. I'm the mom and more the adult here.

Calmer day today. Ds leaves for CO tomorrow. Should be a bad day for everybody.

Hugs
