broken arm and fibromyalgia

Its been a while since I posted, mostly because I was busy with work but also because I have been doing pretty well. Got my fm under control mostly with cymbalta. But then this week happened and I just have to talk about it. So forgive my ranting in advance. My grandfather died on Monday. On Wed I drove 3 hrs to the funeral in NC. A few hrs before the funeral, I was walking over grass onto the sidewalk outside the funeral home and my foot got stuck in a gap between the grass and sidewalk. I fell and broke the top bone in my left arm. It was horrific. Even the morphine they gave me wasn't enough to keep me from screaming bloody murder when the emts put me on the stretcher. Then my mom and sis who were there when it happened ditched me at the ER...why? Because my sis is germophobic and my mom had to go find our cousins who got lost on the way to the funeral....the funeral that wasnt for 2 more hours! And because directing my dumb cousins who cant read a map is more important than the daughter with a broken arm.
Thankfully my dad got into town an hr later and stayed with me and drove me home. And he is going with his gf (parents are divorced) to pick my car up for me. And my dad is coming to tak me to surgery that I need for my arm because the brake is so bad, My mom, who granted, just lost her dad, but doesnt work and hasnt been to visit me where I live in 13 yrs, offered to help post-surgery but then changed her mind when she realized I would need help changing clothes and bathing....cuz that was too much for her. Thankfully one of my neighbors is a physical therapist and she is going to help me and my other neighbors and friends are pitching in.
Meanwhile my boss is pissed at me for missing work and is making me do work from home. And I found out today that a nerve is trapped in the fracture and may be torn...so at best it will be months before I can use my left hand.
The doc did say I was doing well with the pain...good thing I have plenty of experience!
Ok thats my rant. I have learned again that stuff like this really shows you the quality of people. My mom is a fair weather friend. My sis could care less and has only followed up cuz my dad guilt tripped her. My dad as always is super dependable....maybe not warm and cuddly but he I there and that is what I need. My neighbors and my newest cowrker have all amazed me...I am truly blessed to have them!

Briget- that is some story you have been through. My life is boring compared to yours. I hope your arm is on the mend. It sounds like you could use a nice break of peace. I am sorry to hear about your loss too. I hope things will settle down for you.

The best thing to do is quit googling things! Lol. Try to relax and get things prepared for after the surgery. Move things so they are readily accessible. That will help your helpers.

I don't know your family but I can relate. The one thing that I would say is give your mom some slack. People who are grieving don't always react like others expect them to; she may have been emotionally distraught. Again, you know her better than I.
