Grrrr

I don't know what to do. I don't know what I can or should do. Ed was supposed have been able to retire on his birthday in July. Unfortunately, all he planned for was Social Security, so it's not a lot. And when do you get your first paycheck from them? Two freakin' months after you've "retired"!

The poor guy has suffered with Fibromyalgia (a condition that intensifies the pain you feel and adds more to it) for more than twenty years. Now he's got TWO kinds of arthritis on top of it. He's been working hard trying to complete projects he committed to earlier, but he's in so much pain he's just slowing down. He had to take four Lortab yesterday on top of 3200 mg of Ibuprophen just to function.

I wish people would just stop asking him to help. He loves to help, and he can't say "no". When I tell him he just needs to explain his situation to them, that if they really are his friends and they care about him, they'll understand and be more than happy to ask someone else to help. But somehow when I suggest this I become the bad guy!

I'm so upset at this moment I want to either cry or hit something.

People should just stop. There are others that they could ask anyway.
