Writing this in a mental rage with my stupid husband. He took our son to football practice this morning whilst i went on a dog walk with our other son. i came back home to 15 missed calls and knew immediately there was something up. And yes there is. He took it upon himself to go in goals this morning, despite all the other parents and coach telling him not to and he has gone and broken or dislocated his little finger.
As its the weekend our town a+e cant do xrays so he is on his way up to the big a+e where he has his chemo. I expect he will be in there for most of the day and exposed to all kinds of nasty germs while he is there. I am really concerned but also really really REALLY mad with him! The nurse he saw told him that steroids can make your bones softer and more prone to breaking. No-one told him this but then who would expect someone undergoing intense chemotherapy to be playing f'ing football?
