Four weeks ago I found DH collapsed and unconscious. We were blue lighted in the early hours to a hospital with a specialist unit, where he had an emergency operation. 80% of people with his condition die without regaining consciousness.
He is now home and recovering well but I am totally traumatised. I simply can't stop remembering the horror of it all and if I don't know exactly where he is at any time, I go to pieces. I know this can't go on long term, but for the moment, I can hardly get through the day.
We have plenty of family support, but I feel that everyone thinks we should just be glad he's ok, and I should be getting back to normal. One or two friends have suggested going out for a coffee or on a shopping trip, but really I can't bear to leave him for long. He is still quite physically dependant on me, though improving all the time.
Am I reacting normally do you think? Do I need to get a grip ? If so, how???
