this really does sound like an appropriate situation for the phrase "that which does not kill us, makes us stronger".
When I had my miscarriage and subsequent burst ovarian cyst, I was astonished at how poorly many of the hospital staff responded to my clear (emotional and physical) pain - and how little they LISTENED to me. Like because I was the patient, clearly I knew fuck all about what was happening to my own body. Luckily, there were also angels in amongst the idiots who actually made the situation survivable.
I hope you get to treat yourself really really well as long as you need it. Sleep, relax, distract yourself, do what you need to do to get you through. And know that our offer for any assistance you may need is valid and ongoing - for you and for Michael - since he too has been through hell and back. Love to both of you.
