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.

Fingers firmly crossed here that he is OK today to have his chemo.

I know it is different but I never cease to be amazed at how quickly DH does recover after he has gone out from his insulin so am hoping you will find Mr MB much better this morning.

Hope the doctors can sort his insulin so you can be confident this won't happen again. So very sorry this is happening.

PrimulaVeris · 20/05/2008 09:45

Hugs go out to you ,during this difficult time. Hopefully your DH has had the chemo and you can relax just a little.

I hope Mr Bishop has recovered enough today to be able to continue with his chemo treatment.Also hoping you have got over your awful shock of yesterday.x

Finaly home after and emotionally charged day at the hospital.

Dh was well enough for the chemo, but it really hit him for six, and they have kept him in over night to make sure that he is OK.

I'm relieved, if I'm honest, as they couldn't get us O2 at home until tomorrow, and I was scared to have him home without it.

I had a bit of an emotional collapse, after a sleepless night reliving the awful moment when I found him.

I'm hoping that a hot bath will let me relax enough to sleep tonight. Hoping that dh is well enough to come home tomorrow
