Hi,
I posted a while ago and you guys were so helpful, and now things have taken a turn for the worse. I was taken into hospital on Sunday with a severe kidney infection and put on IV antibiotics. They let me home the next day after some persuasion because i was stabilised and it was the first time I'd left my 6 month old DS. The pain has settled down and I've stopped being sick, but I just feel totally drained.
I thought I was coping ok, but today I can't stop crying. I've already been diagnosed with PND/PTSD after a very traumatic birth and was meant to be going for a follow appointment at the docs this week but had to cancel on Monday as I was still in hospital. Now I can't get an appointment for another 10 days.
To add to the problems, when i saw m consultant at the hospital, i was told that our NHS trust was not funding treatment for the condition which makes me keep having kidney infections in the first place. I've been in and out of hospital so much in the last 2 years, and I'm so sick of it.
I do have friends and family around but they all think I'm coping really well with things, and I just end up telling them what they want to hear.
My DS had a really bad night and is really clingy at the moment, probably due to teething, and I'm exhausted. My DH is supportive but works long hours, and it isn't fair to ask him to help with the nights. He has taken some time off, but went back to work today.
I feel like my DS is picking up on my mood, and he deserves better than having a mummy who cries all the time.
I know that there are no answers, but I just had to say this to someone.
