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

oh, so sorry to read your latest update. Make sure that you have friends or family with you and look after yourself x

Sistanotcista · 04/10/2022 16:52

@MumofSpud - I "met" you on a thread about Reading Festival and our DDs, both 16, but unknown to each other, going for the first time. Since then I've seen your other posts about your DH. You have always been so stoic and cheerful, and I admire you immensely. You, and your family, are in my thoughts and prayers tonight, and always.

Sistanotcista · 04/10/2022 16:53

Do you have anyone with you?

CormoranStrike · 04/10/2022 16:53

Oh Spud, so sorry to read this news x much love and hugs to you both.
