Re: not coping

its 2 different companies that will be helping is all @tyme. i have the hospital staff which is obviously the staff by the hospital but its a private company helping post care.
its not so much hiding the information its more i dont know how to tell them. itll probably be more embarrassing and nerve wracking for me compared to them seeing them

Re: not coping

Sorry @outlander I fell asleep on the couch last night

It is hard for us to let people see our scars. They are very much private and I know you are a private person hon.

Perhaps one of the nurses can put it on your notes and ask the other nurses not to bring up the subject. I know it is a hard subject to bring up, but perhaps a little bit of discomfort at the start may stop a lot of discomfort during your recovery.

I hope you can come up with a solution hon, for your sake. Please remember we are here for you through all of this.

Re: not coping

Re: not coping

True @outlander

Just saying it once might prevent you from continuously having to say it.

Re: not coping

yeah i think that might be the best option @Snowie one uncomfortable conversation to avoid many others
