Feeling sorry for myself. Down with the flu and have been in bed for now three days, with no sign of let up. Headache, sore throat, nausea, chills/sweats and aching bones. Can’t seem to move without being in some form of pain.
DH has had to look after DS, over the weekend, which I do really appreciate. However DH has an awful bedside manner. He doesn’t ask how I’m feeling, spend any time with me (just leaves me permanently alone), doesn’t offer to bring drinks or food - and when I do ask for something, he gets annoyed at me as if I’m being really unreasonable.
If DS is sick, he’s really attentive - nothing is too much trouble.
Today DS is at nursery. DH off work, and he hasn’t checked in on me all morning. If I had the energy I would go downstairs and get a drink, but I literally can’t move and I’m so thirsty.
This is not the first time he’s been like this. Last year I suffered a miscarriage and again was pretty bedridden. Asked DH to pick up painkillers repeatedly, but he always found an excuse not to. Ended up in hospital for a week on liquid morphine as the pain got so out of control. That week (as traumatic as it was) was such a relief. They managed my meds, were supportive and sympathetic, brought food and drinks. It was such a welcome change.
I know I’m having a moan. Just wondering if everyone else’s other halves are as useless as mine?
Is it too much to ask of a hug when you feel like sh!t...?
