Mr Bishop rused into hospital

Today has to be one of the worst days ever. I came home from work, and the front door was open and the TV on, but I couldn't find DH. I phoned round a few mates who sometimes take him out for the day, and thankfully they came round. I found dh collapsed in the bathroom.

I thought he was dead.

Thankfully he wasn't, but it too a 999 call and the paramedics to find out that he was in a diabetic coma.

It was all so awful, it has been the thing that I've worried about most of all in his illness, coming home and finding him dead and I really thought that it had happened.

Amazingly the docs still think that he is well enough to chemo tomorrow and will arrange for us to have oxygen at home, and his o2 sats are poor, probably due to the tumous mass.

christ but this is hard. Thank god I had people with me when it happened, and MIL is visiting. If I had stayed in work for a meeting that I was supposed to go to, I think that he really could have died.

I've only just seen this too, MB, and echo grace - I think you're fab, too.

I hope that you're being easy on yourself: you've had a huge shock and are under enormous stress day to day (and that's just the teaching

Sleep well Mr and Mrs MB.

Lots of love,

XXX

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 20/05/2008 20:24

I have only just seen this MB.

If I were you I would take a glass of wine into the bath, and light some candles. You need to try and wind down and release some of the tension and stress you are holding onto.

I hope MrMB has a comfortable night.

PollyLogos · 20/05/2008 20:30

That must have been so scary. I'm not surprised you had a bad night. hope that tonight you get a better rest and that Mr MB is able to come home tomorrow. x

HonoriaGlossop · 20/05/2008 20:50

oh goodness - how scary for you. I hope DH has a comfortable night, and that you can relax..don't know if you're a wine drinker but I do think a LARGE glass might well be just what you need to start to relax...best wishes to all

Blandmum · 20/05/2008 20:51

have had wine, and I'm about to run the bath. The ward sister linked me up with the hospital macmillan nurse and that did help a bit.

Oh MB, poor you and dh, I've only just seen this. I hope you manage to get some sleep tonight.

yoyo · 20/05/2008 21:37

MB - hope you are tucked up in bed now feeling relaxed enough to sleep. I am sure that your dd is having a lovely time so try not to worry about her too much on top of everything else. Hope DH and the oxygen are home with you tomorrow.

Saggarmakersbottomknocker · 20/05/2008 21:37

MB - I know you don't normally do them but you can have a hug. No arguments.

Hope Mr MB is feeling little better tomorrow and you can get him home.

ahundredtimes · 20/05/2008 23:15

bossybritches · 21/05/2008 07:03

Morning from sunny Lincolnshire. Hope he's home soon x

Blandmum · 21/05/2008 07:37

I was so exhausted that I slept from 10 to 5.30, which hasn't happened in more time than I can remember, so I feel a little stronger this morning.

After the school run I'll go to the hospital and see what the next steps are. I hope that dh had a better night
