[painman2009]

yesterday after noon the pain wave crashed down on me i wound up on the floor unable to move speak and had real difficulty breathing too. my wife first asked if i wanted to go to hops. i shook my head best i cld no. (I knew that once there they would only give me pain meds and muscle relaxants then send me home( i had already taken them feeling the wave coming, I just didn't see how big the wave was)thankfully my wife knew why i said no as I had spoken of this possibility many times, but my family is giving her hell. I believe whole heartedly it was the right thing as does she but how do you explain this to people whom 1 don't understand this beast and 2. haven't really asked or tried to educate themselves as to the nature of this beast. I mean really they don't care enough to be educated but they can pass judgment on the whole thing what should my wife say to them. I ignore them but my wife needs to field this battle and I need to stand with her. but they aren't even on the same page as us as to begin to understand why this decision was made. ....Or am I wrong?
