Just wanted to vent this here as I’m feeling very upset and hurt. I was diagnosed with shingles a week ago, it’s been a week of on and off excruciating pain, not being able to sleep, really irritated and sore rashy skin and now the blisters are healing it’s both incredibly itchy and tender at the same time. It’s been hellish and I don’t get much time to rest as we have a 2 year old at home. Today I woke up feeling completely drained, chills, aching joints and tired to my bones. I spent the day sleeping and trying to do some work from home. I’m guessing it’s still the virus taking it out of me.
I do dinner bath and bed as husband isn’t home yet. Crawl back into my bed once toddler is asleep. Husband comes crashing into the house at about 7.30, muttering and mumbling, banging things in the kitchen and then I hear “arrogant bitch doesn’t even come and say hello”. This gets my back up and it turns into a bit of a row. He has not apologised yet.
the thing that hurts most is if he was unwell the first thing I’d do if I saw he wasn’t downstairs is go upstairs and give him a cuddle and ask if he needed anything.
he’s had a bad day at the office but nothing major. I just can’t cope with it anymore. Whenever there’s a bit of stress in his life this happens.
