OMG! Here we go! (No.2)

Less than one minute read time.

Hi Guys

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyones comments to my first 'blog'.  Its wonderful to know that so many people are sending me good wishes and that I am not the only person going through this. 

Trying to get organised for next week - went shopping for 'button-front' pj's etc for the hospital and treated myself to a few extras also.  Gary my Hubbie has a golf break with his buddies with weekend, and I am trying so hard to get him to go.  As I have said to him, its his time for a break and then once he gets back, Op on Wednesday and then he's on hand for non-stop tea making!

Good luck to everyone out there, I know in many ways I am extremely lucky xx

    Hi Hellie,

    As a hubbie it is so difficult to take time out for myself when my partner is going through so much and after 3 months of us coping with this together it is still difficult. But so many people have said that I MUST take time out to look after myself so that I can be strong for her and so I am forcing myself to do one or two things for me alone. It is difficult though because I feel so selfish but this is a long-haul for everyone involved and so I am determined to stay strong for Sal... and to do that I must stay strong "in" myself. So I am making a point to do some things on my own, for me. It is making us stronger together and I would strongly recommend Gary to go golfing if you are both happy with it. He can come back refreshed and ready for you to tackle the following week together. Nevertheless, I fully understand that he might be reluctant to spend time away at this time.

    We both wish you the very best for Wednesday. If there is anything we can do to help in any way... anything... please, just ask.

  • It is such a difficult balancing act when you are first diagnosed. You want to keep some degree of normality in your lives at a time when your whole world has been turned upside down. I tried to make my husband carry on as normal but it was hard work. We got through the 'crisis' time and then I gradually pushed my husband back to living a normal life.

    I wish you luck with your treatment.

    Hi

    He probably feels guilty that he can't 'fix' this and that he shouldn't leave you at a time like this but the break will probably do him good and as you say he will be busy after your op! Take it from my hubby, who is a gem, he'll be run off his feet for a few days!

    Good wishes and positive thoughts for your op and recovery.
