Last month my DS was quite poorly and after a bit of a battle, was finally taken into hospital.
He was there for over a week and during that time became quite poorly. While waiting for tests, we were told it might transpire DS had cancer. I didn't eat, sleep or think straight, till we were finally given the good news that it was a self limiting issue and he could be treated and recover at home. He's since come home and is (thankfully!) getting better.
The issue is, I haven't felt quite right since that week. I feel like it was all quite traumatic, and my brain hasn't accepted that things are ok.
It feels dramatic saying it out loud because he is fine. He's absolutely fine. And it feels silly because other parents don't always get that good news.
I just wondered if anyone had any experience around what might be happening and how long it might take for my brain to catch on? I had to pass the hospital today and could barely look at the place. I just feel a low level sense of anxiety looming every day and feel like crying if I think too hard about those few days.
