Back to Work!!!!!!!

1 minute read time.
Hi Everyone, Thought i would let you all know i have returned to work today. Was the scariest day ever leaving Julian (jools) for the first time in over a month. He insisted i should try and get some sort of normality back in my life, and not just hang around waiting for him to die. As i got into the car i could have been sick, all manner of thoughts were running through my brain....what if?........what if?........Anyway we had agreed that he should text me every couple of hours ( he cant speak anymore ) and as agreed he sent them to me. Messages i received were....still breathing.......still alive. At least i knew he was ok. Everyone at work were brilliant and understood my dillema and were really kind and supportive. Anyway after the stress of going to work today, i am having tomorrow off!!!!!!!!!! Going to try just going in every other day.....if only for a few hours. Things are starting to progress with help now. The local hospice have provided him with a chair, as sleeping in bed is a no go area. All the meds have been delivered to be administered in final stages. Hopefully a lite writer is coming tomorrow , which hopefully will give Jools the ability to communicate once more ( bet i am in for a rollicking!!!!!!). District nurse is coming in every couple of days etc etc. Jools had a better day today said its because the sun is shining. Hope you are all keeping well. Love to all Kathryn xxx

    Oh Kathryn I can imagine how you felt, Jools sounds a wonderful man with a sense of humour, his text made me laugh - still alive!!. But going back to work is a big step when you want to be a home - just in case, even if its a supportive environment.

    I'm glad that you are getting some help and equipment to support you and Jools.  Can't wait to hear what Jools says when he gets his lite writer.

    Take care and love to you both

    I can imagine how you must have been feeling at the thought of leaving Jools for the day. The 'what if's' can drive you mad! You are both dealing with this very hard situation in such a brave and positive way and I can only admire your strength. Big hugs to you both.

    Take care
