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.

Only just read this MB. Haven't posted on your threads about Mr B before but you've talked a lot of sense on mine on a number of occasions. I can't do the same here - but want you to know I'm thinking of you.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 19/05/2008 22:51

I was in too minds about posting that comment, and then I go and post it twice for good measure

Sorry!

Oh MB what a dreadful shock. Best of luck for MR MB with chemo therapy tomorrow. (((((hugs))))

That sounds awful MB. Hope you have a better day tomorrow.

ninedragons · 19/05/2008 23:52

Holy shit, how terrifying for you. But how wonderfully, marvellously lucky that you came home early.

Good luck with the chemo.

MarsLady · 19/05/2008 23:52

Blimey MB. Keeping you in my prayers! Hope tomorrow is a better day darling!

Goodness MB, have just caught up with this.
Really hoping he is well enough today to have chemo as planned.
What a horrible shock for you all

Whooosh · 20/05/2008 09:21

Glad he had a good night-probably a lot better than yours!

Fingers crossed for 10am.

belgo · 20/05/2008 09:23

How scarey MB.

Hope all goes well today.

Clary · 20/05/2008 09:25

Oh goodness MB only just seen this and had to post to say hope he is better today and chemo goes well.

What a scary moment. Hopes and prayers with you all. {{{}}}

Blandmum · 20/05/2008 09:25

I didn't sleep that well, not that surprising really and kept waking after horrible stress dreams. To add to the tension, dd is agoing on a school trip today....three nights away from home, so there was all the worry about should she go etc.
