Why I can't

With the pain in my ribs I had to decline a job today. When I have to cancel or say I can't do something I feel like I have to explain. People don't understand or they don't care. That causes me to feel like I make people angry. That causes me to be angry or to feel that people judge me.

--my ribs currently hurt when I have to shift or turn the steering wheel of my car

--I get hot flashes so bad that sometimes I feel I could pass out

--humidity makes hot flashes worse & sweat drips down my face

--with the arm sleeves I'm wearing long sleeves year round...again hot

--I get tired & need time to recover after activities 

--I can handle pain. The rib issue freaked me out because when breast cancer spreads it can go to the ribs or spine.

--radiation probably weakened my ribs

So, when I can't do something I need people to understand. I know it's difficult.
