Friend Nearly Dies in Childbirth
One of my best friends nearly died giving birth to her child. The baby is fine, but my friend started hemorraging and after several hours, had an emergency hysterectomy. Then, her blood was clotting everywhere but where needed, and there was a danger of stroke. She has lost a lot of blood. Thank god, today I finally got to speak with her, and she's doing much better. I'm probably going to Indiana to help out with the new baby - just not sure when to go - maybe this weekend or maybe not til next month.
The whole thing stressed me out so much that I woke up at 1am with a migraine. It didn't help that Jerry was kinda blowing me off last night - we had plans and then he kept saying he was busy and when I would call him seemed distracted and almost annoyed at me or something. I eventually asked him to come over to comfort me - and he said he wanted to do some work first and then only called me after 11pm (my bedtime). Grr. When I texted him though after getting a call from him this morning, he texted back "What can I do for you?"
Augh - clearly, my body just cannot handle a lot of stress.

Wow! I'm glad your friend, and the baby, I assume, are okay, but what a horror! Bless you for going out to help.
Sounds to me like Jerry has intimacy issues with everyone but himself, although it also sounds like he's capable of coming around if given some distance.
Take it easy, Karma. Trust in change...it'll lead you forward to feeling better.
Gosh - hey is this someone we went to high school with? How awful. So happy to hear she came through. Great of you to go out and help - I'm sure she'll be glad to see you after such a life threatening experience. Glad you didn't loose a loved one.

It is a friend of mine from Israel/after high school. Thanks for the support.
Hang in there while you're helping your friend and dealing with the stress.
