I am so happy you came back and updated. I just had a feeling that is where he was coming from and am glad that you were able to talk it through with him.
As I am reading this, I am hoping that is not at all what he meant. Is it possible you interpreted his words wrong? After past surgeries my husband has been afraid to touch me for fear of injuring me. Could that have been what he meant to say?
If that is indeed his attitude, send him back to his mommy. He isn't fully cooked yet.
I really have been having a hard time getting out and doing things because of this very issue. I havent taken a vacation in almost two years because of the last embarrarassing airline seat experience i had. I avoid any place that has only booths for seating. Even the chair at the medical center lab is so small that the arm wont go all the way down. I can hardly wait to be a more normal size again.
While I am grateful to have some insurance coverage, it isn't great. I will hit my "out of pocket maximum" of $7500 plus any non-covered expense. Again, I am just glad that it looks like I should qualify and will get my sleeve in April.
