I'm scared

I know there's no magical answer but I just need to get my thoughts out. Sorry. I'm terminally ill. I'm 38 with an amazing DH, one adult daughter and one nearly adult daughter (19 and 17). I've just spent three weeks in hospital getting blood transfusions and iron infusions and currently I head to the emergency day procedure every three days for more. I have scope tests amd another procedure next Sunday. I'm in agonising pain, even with the highest dose morphine. I can do nothing for myself. I can't stop crying. I know there's people in far worse positions than me but I'm just struggling so badly at the moment. I know this thread is completely pointless to everyone reading it, but I just needed to vent, sorry

Glad to hear OP. Your DH sounds like a wonderful man. I hope he gets a little break too.

He really is. And yes, we've had a pretty chilled afternoon. It's been nice

I've been able to manage one meal a deal but I'm always terrible ill after it, but I know I need some food so I'm trying my best. Drinking plenty, so that's a plus. Sleep has been awful. Nightmares every time I close my eyes.

I missed your original post so just caught up now.

You are incredible - strong, brave and warm. I hope you get some rest. ❤️

Ah @Teasie123 you wee love!

@Underthesea65 since you mentioned crunchies they've had a bit of a resurgence in my treat cupboard and my wee boy has autism - complete with the American accent, ear phones and being a famously fussy eater. But like most he does love a bit of Cadburys and he went rooting and decides he'd try the crunchie unbeknownst to me.
I heard a very distressed (remember the American accent) "mommy! Mom! Hey mom! What is this yellow bastard doing in the chocolate?" 😂

He's just turned 6 🙈
