just something positive , would really help me right now ,

1 minute read time.

Last few days have not been easy but a little more settled or so i thought , hubby so tired since incident at garden centre havent even tried to go out,

Left him to sleep in this morning which only made him feel worse, we cant win no matter what we do, dizziness and sickness slightly improved with new meds, but nothing to write home about, we were so hoping for a little respite and a bit more quality of life but i think i was hoping for too much, spoke to our macmillan nurse today about maybe upping steroids but she said hubby is very sick and she now feels they wont have any benefit, our last hope gone !!!

even the kids are now feeling the strain, my little boy is very quiet and hardly leaves his dads side, and the girls are struggling, bless them all, they are fantastic kids . this is so unfair on them, and me well i maybe breaking inside but outside i am doing amazing im so proud of myself , that may sound stupid but i have got to keep going for everyone else,

now my nightmare, in laws, i have told them to keep visits short ,well they wont bloody listen , his dad stayed all day today, and hubby is to polite to say something but hes shattered, and it makes me feel awkward as cant sit with them all the time as they need time together, but it is my house, and i cut my hours down to spend my time with hubby , and when they finally go he is then fit for nothing, maybe im just being selfish,  his mum also rang this morning saying she was desperate to see him so i made it clear she is always welcome ,then she came up with every excuse not to come this week !!!! i cant do anymore to keep everyone happy im trying my best even if for some that is not enough ,

well on a lighter note , i just tried to stick my fingers together with superglue mending a mug hubby gave me . that made him laugh, so as i say to him i have my uses even if its only to make him smile :)

    I don't know what to offer in the positive line apart from I'm here and understand. Life is s*** and not likely to get much better for us in the very near future. I'm sorry about the in-laws too. I wish I could send you the strength to tell them how long they can stay in your house. It's so difficult but if it makes him tired and fit for nothing then maybe the time has come. There are some good booklets that you can order from the site which I've done and I find them helpful. You could always give them one to read - assuming with their lack of brain cells they can read!

    Anyway hun please take care of yourself and hug your lovely children and hubby. Hugs are in such short supply we need them more than ever now.We've had a rotten weekend too and it's so upsetting to see our men like this.

    I hope you manage to unglue your fingers. Maybe you should superglue the front door when the outlaws are on the way so they can't get in!!

    Lots of love

    Hi Jenni-I can think of a positive-you are doing a bloody good job. Can there be a more important positive than that? Now to the Outlaws-I think its over to plan B. Lock your doors,turn all your phones off and please have some YOU time. That is time for just you and your hubby. Dont want to sound dramatic but this time wont come again. It is these weeks that will get you through the first few weeks  much later-if that makes sense. Sending you a hug and some strength. You are doing well. I remember how hard it is. Here when you need me. x x

    The positive is that you made him laugh, that is not a small thing, that is massive.
