I really hope he's OK. The thought of losing one of the few people I'm close to scares me hugely.

Thanks, but I wish I could talk in depth about this, actually.

No one I know is here.

There never is, anymore.

I think the fact that you are concerned that you are thinking about how it impacts you and that you want to not make it about you is a sign that you do care. I don't think anyone can make it 100% not about themselves.

Afraid and scared.

I really only have one friend; my brother - my younger brother. No one else is as close to me or can ever be as close. He is going to have a very serious medical procedure (open heart surgery) done tomorrow before sun up. I am afraid for him and I am afraid that my own worthless ass will be left alone if something goes wrong.
 :'(
 
This is a bunch of mixed up shit to think about.


True enough ...

... I can't find a way to make this NOT about me.  I hate being me!!


NONE OF THIS IS ABOUT ME!!

.. why can't I know that!

I hope he's going to be OK.  I know that it was terrifying for me when my daughter had open heart surgery.  I know that it's not about you and it wasn't about me either, but it was the hardest thing I have ever done to hand her to the anesthesiologist to take her into surgery even knowing that she would have died without the surgery.

Is your brother's surgery a valve replacement, a coronary artery bypass, or what is it?  My daughter had a big hole in her heart (a VSD) as well as a PFO and a PDA.

I know.

My mom hasn't been doing very well for the last couple of years now. She's the only person I've ever really been able to talk to. The "friends" I have are basically acquaintances. My dad passed away years ago. There isn't anyone else. I'm pretty much a "closed book", always have been.

Not about me either, but I'm scared sometimes just the same.

Hoping all goes well for you DD.

It's about you both. You can't not be you, and you care about your brother. I hope it goes well for him.

It's good to see you back but I wish the circumstances were better.

Are there any other doctors you could see about this, maybe specialists in pain management? :(

I was just reading a study about using three full size aspirins at once (900 mg - 1000 mg total dose) for a migraine and it worked pretty well for about 75% of the people who tried it.  It was comparable to the prescription medication sumatriptan 50 mg but sumatriptan 100 mg worked better.

I suppose I could... I need a specialist, though, not the garden variety doc available. A lot of the docs I've met don't know a whole lot about migraines.
