sorry for inavding your area girls. just feel awful atm. next month is full of appointments for my dd's and my dh and i just feel like its never gonna end. a few months ago i was feeling good about the fact that dd2 didnt seem to have any health problems. now she has a cardio appointment next month and has been referred to the hospital as she walks funny. dd1 has allergy clinic, and ezcema clinic to attend, dh has to be seen at the pathology lab for more bloodwork. just seems like my life is all about appointments, making sure everyone is ok and i just cant seem to make time for myself. just want the all clear for one of the loved ones in my life at the very least. doubt its gonna happen tho.

misdee
please don't feel so blue
you sound like you are doing the very best you can, but I can understand you want some YOU time too.

Although I cannot empathise I can invite you in to the bar for a drink

I SOOO know what you mean Misdee. It's totally bloody draining isn't it? I agree with Suzy, come and have a hug and a drink in the bar.

its the fact i cant walk the 5mins to the shops with dd2 as she falls every 10steps or so. dd1 walked for the 1st time at 16months and was toddling off with me down to the local shops the same week.

I know . Crap isn't it?

oh misdee, i don't have any experience of what you're going through but can understand your need for a little bit of "me" time!
You do sound great and i hope you can get a few hours to yourself oneday soon to just breathe and think!++++

yes its awful when you get loads at once. I remember it was like that when ds2 was born. c-section then slightly dodgy breathing problems, then at 2 weeks we had consultants appointement and were told ds1 was pobably autistic then we had a series of SALT appointments, then ds2 wasn't putting on weight and at 6 weeks was found to have a cord infection. I felt as if I was being beatne up by Mike Tyson. Absolutely draining, as soon as I could stop worrying about one child had to worry about the other BUT you do get through them, the appointements do go away and life does become normal again. Hang in there- I'll be thinking of you.
