Why can't you be just a little empathetic?
When you broke your leg,
I was more than just a little helpful.
You admitted I was extremely helpful.
I changed your bandages after several surgeries
But you can't understand
I'm in more than just a little pain?
Sure, they're not the same
But both cause more than just a little pain.
Why can't you understand my procrastinating
When I'm living off pain medicine?

"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."

Oh, it's so horrible when someone doesn't understand your pain or at least TRY. :( I hope you have other people to support you.
Some people actually tend to be like that. As if the world revolves around them. So sorry this is happening to you
Sending hugs
