Spacecadet has asked me to get everyone who was concerned about her know, that she was admitted to hospital last night. she is currently in MAU, where she will be for up 48 hours depending on how she responds to treatment. She had another chest x-ray and is on IV antibiotics and also a drip as she was dehydrated.She has asked me to say thankyou to everyone who was concerned about her.

Hope you feel better soon SC xxxxxx

Caribbeanqueen · 09/01/2006 15:19

Offer to cook meals renewed. Also let me know if there's anything else you might need.

Which hospital is sc in?

Piffle · 09/01/2006 15:25

They are not keeping her in after the IV anti b's kick in?
Shocking, I was in for 10 days and my anti b's kicked in straight away, you are so prone to reinfection and relapse. And they need to enforce the rest too.
I was going to say if she had pre schoolers she could come and stay with me for a couple of weeks, but bit of an impossibility with older kids at school.
Plus she's never met me
But glad to hear they are sorting it out, we were all terribly worried about her.

hope spacecadet gets well soon, she was even on here yesterday advising me on hair products! I didn't know she was poorly, wishing her a speedy recovery x

saadia · 09/01/2006 16:13

I followed her thread and am just so relieved that she is getting proper treatment. Hope she recovers soon.

Elibean · 09/01/2006 16:40

Get well soon, SC, hope you're feeling better already......xxxx
Good luck finding the right support, Mr SC...although looks like you've already found a lot here: who said you were unresourceful!?

spacecadet · 09/01/2006 17:23

im home.
dh came to visit and found me ready to go home.
i explained that i would get no help at home but they said, i had no temp etc so could go.
he refuses point blank to take time off, he says he cant spare the time
ive just read his thread and had to laugh at him, especially being too scared to say what hospital i was in!
im half pleased to be back cos mau is horrible, but not pleased if that makes sense. im really grasteful for all the lovely messages ive had, thanks. dh said, ive got to rest and do no housework, but is going to work, where is the sense in that/
he is now making me feel guilty cos he says hes worried about leaving me to go to wales. grrr...
anyway, one thing he has done, is organised someone to do the school run, thats something i guess.

LadySherlockofLGJ · 09/01/2006 17:26

You need a friggin au pair, I was feeling sorry for him earlier with the telling off he was getting, but he needs to get his finger out. NOW

spacecadet · 09/01/2006 17:32

i may just organise it myself,my comp is in the living room next to the sofa so i can post on mn without moving off the sofa, much to dhs annoyance.
ive just phoned dm to tell her i was out and she was like oh good, ytoull feel right as rain after a couple of days..what..are you on woman!
she did not offer to come and help..the old bag.
i feel v depressed actually, my brains not working properly and im scared, the docs said i had lower left lobe pneumonia and im actually at thge tail end of it, but what if it comes back. someone posted on that thread and said someone died after they came out of hospital, dh says they wouldnt let me go home if they werent happy, but what if theyve made a mistake?

codthemod · 09/01/2006 17:33

tit update?

BudaBabe · 09/01/2006 17:38

Oh SC you poor thing! That man! They are all the bloody same!

Right - get yourself an au pair / home help or whatever. You NEED it. You cannot cope with everything on your own.

Accept any and all offers of help. Your eldest is old enought to understand that you need help.

Try and get as much rest as you possibly can and if you feel at all worse go straigh back to hosp.

Hugs - hope you feel better. The stress won't help of course.

Merlin · 09/01/2006 17:39

Skipped through this thread, so sorry if I've got the wrong end of the stick but your Dh needs a good slap I know the timing is bad but what decent employer wouldn't understand that his wife is seriously ill and needs complete rest? And as for your MIL - well I agree - what a bag.

Sorry this isn't very constructive is it but I feel very angry and sad for you. As you say your laptop is within easy reach just go ahead and see if you can organise some help yourself (using his credit card of course!). Please take care of yourself and try not to worry - I'm sure the hospital wouldn't have let you go if they weren't happy and as you say hopefull you are at the end of it now.

LadySherlockofLGJ · 09/01/2006 17:41

Merlin

Her DH does not need a good slap......he needs a good beating and some ritual humiliation.

spacecadet · 09/01/2006 17:43

merlin, its my mum, not mum in law!dh wont take time off because he says hes busy, not because he cant, so he could take time off if he wanted, but doesnt want to

codthemod · 09/01/2006 17:43

Merlin · 09/01/2006 17:44

Sorry - really didn't want to post something so unconstructive but he is making my blood boil

ggg's idea of ringing hv might be worth a try

I'm astounded at you dh sc

spacecadet · 09/01/2006 17:47

lol cod i just told him, he said "well you wont have to do anything, you can sit on mumsnet all day" who pray does he think will look after dd2? will she get her own food and change her own nappies? I think not.
i emailed gizmo and thanked her for her kind offer btw.

codthemod · 09/01/2006 17:47

SC - sorry to be blunt but he will know what busy really is looking after 4 kids when you are not around. As Cod says get him back on here to see what people are saying - can't believe he is really this uncaring
