I am permanently disabled with Ogilvie’s Syndrome. To read more, go to the link on the right. I am in pain always. I have had 75% of my stomach removed. It has helped some in that I’m not having to go to the E.R. every other night with a pseudo-obstruction, but still having alot of acid/bile and pain, even eating hurts.

I have a regiment of medications I have to take each day and I often forget to take some, so H thought I might solve the problem by buying an alarm watch that had mutiple settings for each of my med times.

10PM – H has recommended an alarm watch. I said I would research online. After looking for awhile, I said to H, “I found one for $70.” Her response, “70 DOLLARS?!” yelled at me while she scowled. I was pretty shocked at the reaction, because we seemed to be having a fine evening until then. I explained about the 3 types of alarm watches i found, the prices and the perks, to explain why that level of watch would work best for me. She just scowled and did not respond at all. I offered to try to find someting else, like a type of alarm that is “pager style,” in hopes that it would be cheaper. Again, loudly and aggressively she said, “tell me again why you HAVE to have that.” I ask, “what’s going on with the yelling and scowling? Was she upset?” “No” I asked again, explaining that she didn’t look very happy. Finally she sighed and said she was tired. I said, “OK why don’t we talk about it later?” Se repeated, “I don’t understand why you need this.” I said, “see, this is why I want a bank account with just MY money in it so I don’t have to fight you to get what I feel I need.” Of course she just responded, “Get what you want.” and left the room. Now I’m way too hurt and upset to get the watch. It’s not worth the hassle. And we were having such a sweet, loving evening before this. She had even come home with purple tulips for me, like she had in her wedding bouquet. Now i’m just crying.
