very proud of myself !!!

1 minute read time.

well , wont go into this week as long and very sad week, feeling very sorry for myself especially last couple of days until today, i found some balls :)) , and stood up to my inlaws, and my god it felt good, they havent visited for two days as we are only doing every other day, then were due to come today but hubby said no, so i put them off and they were all fine or so i thought !! till i thought id be nice and ring mum inlaw to let her know hubby was peacefully sleeping, why did i bother ? she informed me no matter what she was coming tommorow to see her son, no matter what i said , well i told her in no unceartain terms that if he did not want to see her ,then she was NOT going to see him, she tried to argue but i told her she needs to respect his wishes and put him first, or shes not welcome , we left it that she will come at 12 tommorow unless i ring her and tell her not too, that was after telling her god knows how many times that 8 in morning is not a good time to visit , bloody woman,

quick update on hubby, mac nurse came for 2nd time this week and suggested syringe driver but hes still resisting, wants to wait till mon, i think hes scared of actually letting go, which is very hard for me as he is suffering so badly especially with sickness , but he knows what i think and must be his decision, so i need to keep strong for both of us for a little bit longer , no matter how hard that is sometimes ,,,,,,,

    jenni, its a bad situation for everyone,... my heart goes out to you.. well done for standing up to her

    my step brother died 18 months ago and his sisters completely took over everything blocking out even his wife and kids, it was a knightmare...upshot is we dont speak to the coyote uglies (as we call them). neither does williams wife and eldest daughter... the youngest was too young to know what was going on... i have warned my family that my husband and daughter are to be the ones who decide how, what, and when... i have even sorted out my funeral.... but i think the main problem was that william (my step brother) didnt want to uset his sisters....so he didnt tell them to back off... i wont be making that mistake... much as i dearly love my parents and siblings (and we are very close) they are not the one losing a wife and mother...

    i dont know your full story but i wish you a peacefull time to be with your hubby

    good luck

    You shouldn't be in this situation. It's hard for everyone but your in-laws should respect the fact that he's your husband.

    Good for you for standing up to them.

    Hi Jennie, so wish Peter could talk to your hubby right now.  He had his syringe driver fitted a few days ago as you have already read about.  It is the best thing since sliced bread, as they say.  He has not been sick since (apart from being a bit rough with his toothbrush which made him heave today).  Obviously because the sickness has stopped the driver is getting to the parts other tablets cannot reach.  He has been feeling a lot more relaxed since.  Didn't even feel it being fitted.

    Am writing at this time of the morning waiting for the District Nurse to call anytime now.  Not for Peter, who is sleeping soundly but because of the bloody alarm on the air mattress, it keeps going off every 20 mins or so, I am shattered.  The DN did have a look at it this afternoon and it seemed to behave itself, until I put my head on the pillow and since 12.30 has been playing up again.  I hated having to call them but they said I was not to switch it off because he needs it, I'm sure a few more hours wouldn't have mattered but you cannot fault them for their care.

    Good on you with the outlaw Mrs!
