Dh didn’t leave me any water or drinks

[Footballscominghomehey]

I was really ill yesterday and especially last night, lots of vomiting etc (sorry tmi)
We live abroad and it’s extremely hot, we don’t drink the tap water here.
The bedroom was a real mess this morning-sick bucket full, duvet yucky, he quietly said my name to wake me up and that he was going to work.
I feel horrendous, so weak and there’s zero water and drinks. I’m trying to set up
a delivery service to see if they can deliver
Does anyone think this is a bit shitty to leave me with no drinks. Feel so dehydrated

This.
All day long.

I just want to highlight this part of your post @WiddlinDiddlin so that it's not missed and reading it might make some people think before they make judgmental remarks.

Agree and want to repost.

Some people are being deliberately obtuse or have no empathy to suggest otherwise

I couldn’t have got down the stairs on Tuesday. I could scroll mn a bit inbetween snoozing.

If you've not experienced gall bladder, kidney stones etc type pain... well you're lucky.

It isn't just painful, it is exhausting and it tends to be cyclical, so the pain ramps up, the vomiting/shitting comes on often without warning, it subsides a little and you fall asleep... then it all ramps up again and you wake up and can't speak/communicate well you're too busy grunting/swearing/puking... dies down and you nod off again...

So you may be able to communicate at some points, and not at all at others. You may be able to stagger to the loo at some points, not at others.

It is also horribly unpredictable and you do not know how long a bout is going to last, which is really stressful to deal with. Will it be over in a matter of hours, or will this be days!

Even if I didn't rely on a powerchair, there are significantly more steps to making a brew than there are to just reaching for a nearby phone and accessing mumsnet.

No, I’m not hard of understanding. No idea what all the fluff is about making a brew as that was not what I said. The OP said they gave no WATER as they cannot drink from the tap where they are. The point is you can drink boiled water, when cooled. The OP also said they are DEHYDRATED, so needs water. I pointed out they need an electrolyte solution in that case, basically you just shove sugar and salt into the water you boiled.

And yes, I’ve had gall stones, pancreatitis, my gall bladder removed. I understand the pain, but there will be some space where you can boil a kettle if you can’t safely drink water from a tap.

And there are some places you can't drink the tap water even if it is boiled - the OP mentioned they drink green tea, I assume with bottled water, not tap.

The point still stands though, scrolling and tapping out a reply on MN from your phone, in bed, is significantly fewer steps and less effort/movement than getting up and boiling some water, regardless of what you do with it after that.

100% spot on with your description of how the illness goes

Hope you have recovered now xx
