Flipping Out

[travelinsnorkel 0]

I thought I was pretty together and ready for the surgery. Well, I think that it is really weighing on my mind. I got my blood work back and my glucose levels were really back so I am trying to really watch my diet this week so I will heal better after the surgery. So, tonight I went out with a bunch of people from work for a celebration. I was really good, but I wanted one bite of my friend's mac and cheese because that is what I really wanted, but didn't want to order it. My one coworker took the fork from me and was like, you can't have that! I realize that she thought she was helping me. I kind of flipped out on her and was like that isn't helping me. I made a bit of a scene, but then apologized to her. I know her heart was in the right place, but I told her that that type of thing doesn't really help me. I feel bad that I flipped out, but I also want to make sure that people treat me the way that I want to be treated after the surgery.

Yes, it is hard. Everyone has good and bad days. Let's put this in perspective- no one jerks a cigarette out of a smoker's mouth unless they're in a highly flammable area. So why is it OK for your 'friend ' to behave so rudely? The 'friend' isn't treating you with respect. Don't beat yourself up for their behavior. Focus on you.
