relationship with my mom going bad after major surgery

[H2OskierMT]

In August I had a total pancreactectomy with auto islet transplant. This was the result of more than 2 years in constant pain with pancreatitis. I moved in with my parents before the surgery. They told me they had no idea how bad it was because I can due a fairly good job of hiding the pain and was able to keep my job (really due to FMLA). I had this 12 hour operation aware I was trading one set of problems for another. It hasn't been 4 months even and my mother grills me about why have the surgery if you are still in pain. You should be better by now. She asks me a ton of question I neither have the answer to or that doesn't make a difference since the surgery is done. While she has gone with me to the doctor she doesn't ask any questions. To be honest I don't even know what she is asking. All I know is this has come between us and I feel trapped since I'm still fairly weak and in pain. I have no idea what to do or how to handle this.

Hi,
How are you? I'm sorry to hear what you have been through for the past months.I agree with Douglas that you need to see a specialist that will help you and your mother cope with what is happening. Both medical and emotional issues should be addressed to help you manage these anxiety issues. Take care and do keep us posted.
