I'm probably not in the right frame of mind to make much of a contribution at the moment. I underwent a medical procedure on Monday. Hubby was initially supportive. But as usual he can only sustain the support for a short period of time before it becomes about him. Today I hit rock bottom in my recovery and he has gotten sulky. So what do I do to support myself emotionally. I am one tough cookie! Raised to be tough and I know I am resilient and courageous. Surround myself with strong women. Sorry but being a feminist helps. 
ps in fairness to hubby he took the day off work on Monday to take me to the appointment. Seeing things from a half glass full perspective also helps me to stay strong emotionally. Because no one is perfect.
