Cynthia,

I agree with Carol. I also suffer from ovarian cysts (just got out of the hospital not long ago for similar reasons as yours)....Along with doing what Carol said with writting something up if/when you feel the pain coming back on, I would personally call up my dad and ask him to come pick up the dog before leaving for the hospital.

Personally, I'd leave a guy who treated my animals the way you described. If you're engaged to him, you should probably consider how he'll treat your children should you ever have any with him. You don't need (or deserve) a man like that in your life. Neither do your dogs.

Good luck.
