What a day ! woke up at 4.30 , hubby struggling to breath , felt really guilty as i was sleeping so soundly i didnt realise, first night for ages, always go off ok but normally wake again in early hours, any way, he got worse, he insisted on taking me to work, windscreen wiper broke , car sounded like it was going to break down, snowing , the language was blue, hubby came home to call dr or so i thought , with strict instructions to ring me, mean time i got to work told my boss situation and said as soon appt available at drs i was coming home , and she said , no i wasnt !!!! i nearly lost the plot, i told her yes i was, i was so angry, i had to walk away, but this keeps happening and one day i am going to lose it with her, she didnt care,
anyway rang hubby about half hour later didnt even feel well enough to ring dr, so i did it , dr rang him straight back was fantastic, even offered a home visit but hubby was determined to go their, anyway turns out dr thought he may have a clot, but he hasnt ,might be chest or other infection ,he is so poorly could be anywhere ! bless him, so antibiotics, more steroids, ibuprofen , and check in with dr again tommorow, and is now sleeping on sofa, i think as doors shut and not seen him for a while,
i feel exausted, and got headache, but i am still so angry how can people not understand my prioritys lie at home at the moment , ive got a good mind to take it further but do i have the energy !!! and yes i did stay and finish my shift, more fool me !!!
