I know there may be more specific sites to put this thread but I can't bring myself to go there
DH is in hospital with Leukaemia- and for the past few weeks has had a chest infection
Now he has 2 chest infections
I have been visiting x2 a day but not since Thursday as I got Covid (for the first time)
The Macmillan nurse has just rung asking me to do a test as the Dr wants to have an conversation' and it might be easier if I am there
Of course I am still testing positive
I tried to get details out of her but all she would say is that it is a serious conversation
Dr is due to ring me soon
I feel sick with nerves and so guilty that I am not there
He is 49
I really need a hand hold

There are no words, just know that you and your DH and DC are in our thoughts, massive hugs and tight hand hold being sent 💐x

Holding you, your DH, and your children in my thoughts and heart. I'm so sorry you are going through this x

I am so sorry OP how heartbreaking. Try not to worry about what happens next just enjoy all the moments you have. Get as many kisses and cuddles as you can and talk and dream together about travelling. Even if he is sleeping he will know you are there and feel your love.

I’m so sorry, OP. Sending a handhold. Thinking of you and your family xx

I’m so very truly sorry. I don’t have the right words right now to offer any remotely helpful support.

Sending you love…and everything else that may help xx

Sending enormous hugs to you and I am so sorry that you and your family are going through this, so desperately unfair.

Holding your hand and sending hugs ❤️

I’m so sorry. Sending you hugs.

OrlaCarmichael · 04/10/2022 22:07

This is just totally shit OP, and I’m so sorry. We had no notice (me and 2 DC) because it was heart failure. But the ages of our DHs are almost identical. I remember the same life stage: he had such strong ideas about places we were going to travel to …. I don’t really know what to say except that I do understand, as far as anyone can, at least.

Parishcouncil · 04/10/2022 22:09

Holding your hand tonight and every day. If I could make it all better I would….so so very sorry. Lots of love 💙

OrlaCarmichael · 04/10/2022 22:09

It’s so confusing, losing your future and entering a nightmare in the present, that you didn’t sign up for, all at once

Dontjudgeme101 · 04/10/2022 22:16

anewbook · 04/10/2022 22:17

OP
I am so very sorry to hear your news today.
Sending strength to you, DP and your family. Keep posting here and know you are not alone.
