AIBU to ask DH to come back from London as baby and I are unwell?

Well handled @Dinosaurhearmeroar @YourShyLion and @LuckyPeachStork

Concerning level of comprehension skills here😀

Hope you are well OP🙂

She ended up in the hospital. Why are you bullying a woman who posted months ago. What's wrong with you?

Were you hospitalised with vomiting and diarrhoea? Because this poster was. In March, when this post was made.

You might have big girl pants @SpaceAngel1999 , but you appear to lack empathy pants. As well as reading and comprehension pants.

Maybe work on that before you troll Mumsnet for vindictive jollies.

Eh you do know that this post is from March and the poster was ultimately hospitalised?

Very unreasonable. Sometimes you’ve just got to put your big girl pants on and crack on with it. I remember looking after my 6 month old and 4 year old whilst I had vomiting and diarrhoea whilst my husband was working away. All part of been a parent

You know haha sorry I was just being friendly blah blah doesn’t make your first comment any less a nasty shitkicking of an ill woman looking after a child, don’t you?
did you know you don’t actually have to share your raw unfiltered opinions? I suspect you do know and you dont do this in real life because it’s just not that compatible with having friends.

oh look I elbowed you in the eye that will bruise haha what am I like!! So funny everyone loves it when I do that, I just don’t have a filter!! What do you mean you can’t take a joke?!

there must be someone out there in your universe more worth picking on than a sick woman with a baby who is stressing out and wants her husband home to help parent his own child. Let’s not kick these people. How about you look in the mirror.

Did you drink a pint of water before bed?

Urgh actually feel sick. "I need my husband". You can't manage for a night or two on your own? We really are the privileged generation, aren't we. Suck it up woman.

Haha sorry, that was harsh! That was my gut reaction so just sharing it 'as is'. Anyway, hope you feel better now. Imagine you do seeing as it's been a few months 😆

Thanks @BrickBiscuit . That’s exactly it. There was a real risk of a quite devastating outcome. The idea that the OP was meant to walk a tightrope of probability for something so important rather than request help from her significant other is such a classic example of the struggle olympics that we see far too often on Mumsnet, and which makes this site sometimes so toxic.

Honestly, you’ve been so gracious and generous that I think you’re a bit of a hero, @Dinosaurhearmeroar.

Get well soon

As for the idiots who can’t even be bothered to read your updates - the foolish will always be with us on MN, sadly.

Did you miss the word 'potentially'? That risk is present. High impact, low likelihood but present. @LuckyPeachStork was accurate.

Pointing out that your post wasn't an accurate description of OP's situation as she'd reported it isn't the same as dismissing the risk.

I'm very glad OP seems to be recovering now and has been treated and discharged.

So pleased to hear you are doing better OP. Hope you feel tip top again soon 💐

It wasn’t embellished. You’re dismissing the risk.

And do you know what the antibiotics were doing? Reducing the chance of op losing her sight which is a real concern and side effect of cellutis. Again please can we we not down play what op had as as the end of the day she was at severe risk of losing her sight with the infection that she had. She was in hospital due to that risk. That was bot posters being dramatic.

@Darkladyofthesonnets you put that so well!
@Dinosaurhearmeroar hope you're on the mend now 💐

It's hard to believe some of the tough love posters were actually raised by mothers. Most of them sound as if they could have been raised in a barn by a half-feral mother cat who didn't take any nonsense and offed any of those kittens she considered didn't have as much of a chance as the others. As for those posters suggesting that she order something on Amazon - words literally fail me. I hope OP is feeling better at least but there is little hope for some of the posters on this thread to evolve into better human beings.

I’ve just found this thread and had to stop reading all the posts apart from yours OP. So many nasty and ignorant responses. I hope you are out of hospital and recovered now. Glad you have had a grandparent who was able to support you. Clearly you are far kinder than many here showing concern for her welfare while she was helping you.

Thinking of you, OP. You sound so lovely, unlike some of those miserable posters who put you down to feel better about themselves! So glad your husband is home now, which must be a huge relief. Wishing you a speedy recovery and please let us know when you are back home! 💐

You are such a sweet and gracious woman.

please let us know when you are home and feeling better!

OP's update did not say she was fighting to save her sight, fgs! She said she needed a strong drip (presumably antibiotics) and should be ok.

Most people responded to the information given at the time, which was that OP had seen the GP, was on the correct treatment at the time and had another adult there helping her. There needed to be some time to determine whether the antibiotics she was given were sufficient before sending her to hospital, by which time the husband would likely be home - which he was by the time OP updated.

It's lazy for some pps not to not have read the update, but let's not embellish the OP's situation for effect maybe?

yes and comments like pull yourself together and women up, have a red bull etc mentioned after it was clear that the gp was worried about cellulitis.

i do sometimes worry that people who do not know what they are talking about are being keyboard warriors jumping on a bandwagon not realising they could actually be legitimately making someone question whether or not they are being over dramatic and then they risk their eye sight or worse. It is really bloody scary.

op I hope your ok. I hope you know this was not anxiety like some people made it out and it was nothing to do with coping. You had a medical emergency where you needed your other half on standby. That’s what you do in a partnership. You were right to feel worried and nervous about him being away. I hope you are making a speedy recovery.
