Awake and up all night

Gill, I’m also a glass half full type!  But in situations I have limited control, I find the more info I can gather the better….and helps me feel less out of control.  But we all differ in terms of what is most helpful for us…..

I have also asked it for info re pillows etc for sleeping when I can’t lie flat.

i got in a right old state today and couldn’t stop shaking….. though the gardening helped

my sister invited me over for tea this evening with my brother (who I’ve had major fallings out with in the past year) and his wife.  A lovely meal and a nice evening and I stopped shaking while I was there!

how are you doing?

I've got to admit I had a wobble earlier. I was doing OH's care but got mad with him over how slapdash he can be on his nebuliser if I'm not forever hanging over him. It's convoluted but he cried and I crumbled, ergo we made up, as I don't allow ending the day on a sour note - none of us know what could be round the corner and I don't want either of us to end up having regrets. All's well again.

Aw I'm pleased you had a good evening hon, but really don't like the thought of you getting upset. When you're in hospital, feel free to PM me for a night owl chat if you can't sleep and not out for the count. When I do sleep I'm still hyper alert and never get irritated if woken up, so the offer's there sweetie.

I know all about squabbling family, as my older sister and even older brother have been busy falling out for several years. They're going through another not speaking, no contact period and this one's lasted seven years, shortly after our mam died. I think they both want to resume contact but stubbornness is stopping them. It's a shame as they're both in their 70s and won't last forever - back to what I said earlier in this post.

I'm glad you feel a bit better now Rose xxx

All good here at the moment.

I'm going out for a walk with James, Thora & Remy this morning, Alan's going to was the motorhome.

Understand about families. I haven't talked to my sister for about 6 years. We never get on fantastically well, but fell out big time when my mum was ill. I think if they are reaching out to you, which my sister would never do. Maybe worth a try, but of course I don't know the full story. I think they would benefit from see you, you lovely lady.

i’m Sorry to hear about your wobble yesterday, though in your situation I would imagine they’re an inevitable part of life at times.  (In fact, they’re an inevitable part of anyone’s life!) it’s Great that you were able to get beyond it quickly. It’s Always good to not sleep with it when possible…l haven’t always managed to do this successfully!

I think you're right. Any real relationship has it's ups and downs. You can get angry with someone you feel safe with. I equally haven't always been successful. It's so nice making up as well.

Good afternoon Uki, you lovely lad 

We've got even more in common than singing in church, with family fall-outs now. I did have a go at mediating with bro and sis in the past, but it doesn't seem to take much before they're at it again, so I've left them to it. I guess I'm lucky that they both get on with me, as we're spread out from North to South Yorkshire and don't see much of each other.

Families - who'd 'ave 'em. Have a good day hon xxx

Good afternoon Rose  

Yes, all's well on the home front again. We've not long been back from shopping and held hands walking round - not the one he uses for his stick! I make sure I tell him I love him last thing before he settles down, and he mimes it back, otherwise we'd both be a right pair of miseries.

I hope you got some quality sleep in lovely? I managed about 3 and a half hours, so definitely plan on getting some more later on. xxx

Can't see how anyone wouldn't get on with you, lovely lady.

Hope you get some sleep later.
