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.

How awful for you and MrBishop . What a horrible experience.

Hope he is feeling a a bit better now.
Try not to dwell on all of the "what ifs", you found him in time and he is well enough for chemo. Hold on to positive thoughts.

Oh that is a horrible experience. Poor you (all of you). Glad the docs still think he's OK for chemo tomorrow though.

MB, you are in my prayers tonight. x

DumbledoresGirl · 19/05/2008 20:37

Oh God, this is turning out to be one hell of a day. I am so relieved you found him MB. He is being looked after in hospital now?

TigerFeet · 19/05/2008 20:39

Oh MB how scary for you

Diabetic comas are scary (other problems notwithstanding) but are easily reversible thankfully

Try not to worry about what might have been, you found him and he is now well enough to continue his treatment.

Lots of love to all teh Bishops xx

Whooosh · 19/05/2008 20:39

Thank God you found him and you have more time together......as shocking as it may have been.

Oh MB I'm so sorry. How bloody terrifying. Do you have help with your DCs?

moodlumthehoodlum · 19/05/2008 20:40

MB don't often post on your threads, but what a horrible day for you all, poor you. Ditto everyone's thoughts on dwelling on what could have been - you were meant to come home and you did, so thank goodness. Stiff drink for you tonight I hope.

ladytophamhatt · 19/05/2008 20:40

Blimey, my heart was in my throat just reading this....

How terrifying.

ChirpyGirl · 19/05/2008 20:41

How awful for you, I do agree with MrsC, you were meant to come home and find him, don't overthink what has happened it if you can, the fact is you were there.

thinking of you x

Loshad · 19/05/2008 20:41

MB, how bloomin scary. It'll take you a while to get over that shock. hope he is ok for tomorrow's chemo.

LIZS · 19/05/2008 20:41

Oh my God what a horrible shock for you but at least he was meant to be found in time. Hope he is ok and has stamina for the next treatment. Thinking of you.

ShinyPinkShoes · 19/05/2008 20:41

Oh what a horrible shock

Hoping all goes well with the treatment tomorrow and you will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers x

How frightening for you both.

Glad about the chemo tomorrow. A large glass of something definitely in order.

MB that is an awful shock for you and of course for Mr MB - really hope he is recovering from it - I am always struck by how you carry on through all this with great courage and dignity xxx

CantSleepWontSleep · 19/05/2008 20:43

Oh what a horrid scare MB, but someone up there obviously made you go home for a reason.

Wonderful that he can still have chemo tomorrow. Hope that goes well.
