dh still feeling rough

[Blandmum]

And somehow I don't think he will come home this weekend, if he does, great, but he seems so poorly.

Had a bit of perpective today, the young chap in the next bed was diagnosed with leukemia, and it all looks rather grim,. He is only twenty, and his poor parents looked as if their life had ended. Christ, but life can be hard and so unfair. 20 years, he is almost a child still.

dh and I have had more time than that together.

How fucking unfair.

I don't know what to say other than i'm thinking of you and your family. You're right life can be fucking unfair.

life is unfair. was about to email you to say thinking of you all. xx

There's no justice or logic to life at all.

Thinking of you all, so often.x

You are always in my thoughts, MB x x x x x x x

MB You don't need to go looking for perspective.

to you all (and the young chap). Life is very unfair.

agree wholeheartedly with JimJams

I don't know quite where I have been Martianbishop, but I've only literally just now found out what is happening with your dh. I am terribly sorry for what you are going through

Well, we're all thinking of you, and that poor lad, and hoping your dh is feeling well enough to get home soon.
I've got no idea where you are in the UK - do you have local help/support on hand to help with chores and school pick-ups etc?
Can someone come round and do your laundry for you for example?

Thinking of you both, mb. I think Marina's post is spot on. When we learnt that BIL was ill, I went down to stay with dsis for about 5 days initially and then for a couple of weekends so that I could look after the children, take them to dance, church and stuff whilst dsis was with her dh in hospital. It all helps to make the situation a little more bearable. The stress on dsis was huge for the first weeks at least. She was all over the place numerous times and really needed her family and friends to do the basics ie provide a casserole or take her washing as well as being there to listen and let her cry. Please take up all useful offers of help and make sure that people don't tire you out with long daily phonecalls. If anyone offers to be the one to contact others with news, let them. The no. of times that dsis got home from hosital, tired, emotional and hungry only to have the phone ring endlessly with well-meaning people.... You'll need to be firm with some as repeating the tiny bit of news 10 times over for about 5 mins a time is very tiring. Sorry that's long. Thinking of you.
