Jasmine,
I was rofl at your comment to Angel regarding her egg is a sociable one

AFM,
Wow. Just wow. I just got off the phone with my uncle who needs the liver transplant. He is such an ass!!! Backstory-my mom is one of 7, she is the oldest and he is the youngest. My large family is very close, most (except for me) live within a 5 mile radius of each other. For the last ten years or so, this uncle has estranged himself from our family. I dont know what his issues are/I dont care, all I know is that he talks sh*t about all of us to each other, to all his friends and others (it all gets back to us--trust me). Says that he doesnt need his family-he has his friends and thats all he needs. He cant even bring himself to make appearances at family events-not even the important ones, like my grandmothers (his mothers) birthday parties (shes 89 y/o). This totally bugs me--like really? You cant bring yourself to make an appearance to your own mothers bday party--its not like shell be around forever, you cant pretend to be civil and let my poor grandmother die in peace??? This are the reasons DH hates my uncle--for this behavior. And I dont blame DH--but hes my uncle and regardless of all of the above, I still was willing to donate to him. Although its on everyones mind, none of us would ever say to him where are all your friends to donate to you? You dont need your family, huh? Well, look whos saving your life.
As you know, I was asked (by my mom and aunties) to accompany him to his drs appt. a couple of days ago, which I did do. Took 2.5 hours of my sick time to do that. I also typed up the results of the appt, scanned the possible donor paperwork, and emailed to the extended family. Turns out he was admitted to the hospital in the afternoon due to mild complications. I called my aunties to let them know. Yesterday morning (Tuesday) I called him again to check status, was he still hospitalized, did he need anything, just to check on him, to let him know that we/I cared. He said he was still in the hospital, doing fine, didnt need anything. Ok. This morning, I called him again to find out status, wanted to check up on him, ask did he need anything? Etc etc. He tells me I am still in the hospital. Please leave me alone while Im in the hospital I, very shocked, responded ok. He then HUNG UP on me !
WTH!!!?? I am so upset, my feelings are hurt, Im embarrassed at how he treated me, crying here at work!! Can you believe what an ass he is?? Granted, I dont know if he even knows that Im a possible donor, but to me, it doesnt matter. Donor or not, I still dont deserve to be treated this way!! Does this not even paint a picture of what a **** he is?? Why is DH always right about these type of things??Now Im feeling like "f*** you!! Why should I put off ttc, why should I put my health in jeopardy to donate to someone like you??]
I am so upset and I just want to say forget it and move on with my life and go back to ttc. Am I taking this too personal?? I dont even want to share this with my family because #1. Im embarrassed, and #2, it will prove right all those who said not to donate (DH, my brother, my father, and Im sure there are many more who agree with DH).
Sorry for the rant but I have nobody else to vent to!!! I need to get a grip and pull myself together soon--students will be out on their break and will probably be popping into my office to see me..I cant look like something is wrong!!
