Awake and up all night

Yes, gobble everything you can and get that weight back on. There weren't many saving graces after OH's surgery, but he could still eat ok and once his appetite got in gear I helped him pile on all the weight he'd lost. He didn't get dry mouth either. Did you escape that hon? xxx

Yes I pretty much avoided the whole dry mouth nonsense. Had all of the other horrible stuff though. So it's just so nice to be able to eat and drink more normally now. My appetite isn't back to where it was but that will come. How are you and your OH doing? 

Oh god, not great right now. I know how tough it's been since his TL but however hard I try to jolly him along, his moods always seem to win the day.

I start every morning with pleasantries, often forced, but OH has two morning moods - smiley/huggy or breathing corpse, more often the latter. As he can't speak I have to guage whether he's sulking or being normal-ish. It's not great and I'm no counsellor although I do try.

Anyway, never mind. Are you safely back in your house now? xxx

That sounds a real juggling act. I can't imagine how hard it is for you both. He's lucky to have you and you both have my utmost respect for soldiering on as you do.

I'm just about 50 yards from my front door so I'm going to give sleeping another go.

Thanks fir the chat, it really helped. 

Aw thanks for that sweetheart. Tomorrow's another day. No, it's today now.

Yes, you get settled and have as good a sleep as you can. And thank you for the chat and encouragement. Night hon, sleep well xxx

Yes. I love stained glass.

Hi Gill. 

Just a quick thank you for the chat last night. I went back to bed and managed to get off. So I did get a few hours sleep. I hope it was a one off, it just came out of the blue, but then again them stopping just happened as well.

Hope you had a reasonable night and a decent morning. 

Thanks again. 

This is so good to hear. You're bound to have little wobbles. Two steps forward, half a step back.If you're walking the street with a gown on , watch for ventilated pavement grates or you could have a Marylin Munroe moment.

Things definitely come and go.

Morning James ️ 

After our chat, thanks again hon, I put on a podcast and eventually drifted off for around four hours, which is enough for me.

Good to hear you managed a reasonable snooze and let's hope you're back on track soon.

Have a good weekend my lovely xxx
