Surgery Dilemma
Posted: Tue Jan 11, 2005 3:35 pm
It has been a long while since I last posted. I have a dilemma that I am find a hard time dealing with. I recently have gone back to work (working 2 jobs) after being at home for 2 years with my daughter who has a right BPI. I have been through hell and hot water to make sure that she has had everything that she needs. When she was born and she suffered the injury, I vowed that I would be there to make sure that she made every therapy and doctor's appointment. Now that I have gone back to work, I feel as if I am not doing a good job because now I am not in the position to do the things I was able to do before. Her father is not doing a good job taking over my responsibilities at home when it comes to making sure that everything gets done like it should be. I didn't want to go back to work if she could not get what she needed, but I had no choice in the matter since I am the only person that is being totally responsible in this situation. Now I am faced with the fact that my daughter will need another surgery that I cannot afford to take the time off for and my husband is not responsible enough to take care of this. I have no family I can depend on when it comes to this matter because as far as they are concerned, what happened to my daughter is my problem, not theirs and I have to deal with it. Also, I am hearing rumors that TCH is having problems and I may need to find other alternative place to take my child to have the surgery done. I just needed to vent before I drive myself mad.
