The test results for my shoulder came back and in the words of the doctors I have destroyed my rotator cuff. So my surgery is next week. The emotional strain is already starting to take its toll, the family is just all over me about my recovery and actually the procedure saying if I just quit doing anything i wouldnt need the surgery. My wife has just been in a mood as if I am making her do something that is way out of her way, getting snappy with me when the doctor said what I would need help with during recovery. Im not really considering suicide, one I am 2 scared to do it and secondly I cant imagine putting the people that care the most for me through that pain. Overall I am just mentally and physically exhausted from the scrutiny I receive. To give you an example about 6 or 7 weeks ago I pulled or tore my hamstring not sure which I was in a good deal of pain and limping and my wife and family just wrote it off thinking I was faking. Then about 3 days after the entire back side of my leg bruised from halfway down my calf to mid thigh, a deep purple bruise. Instead of them saying im sorry for not believing you, it was well you shouldnt have hurt yourself its your own fault. This is the type situations I deal with on a daily basis and I am just mentally drained and not sure where to go from here.View Thread
