Hey I'm happy my husband is now home after 9days in hospital. But sadly he's like a different person. The gp saw him yesterday and even she commented how different he seemed including slurred speech. Gp also discovered he has another chest infection. So more steroids and antibiotics. I feel awful posting but I'm exhausted it's become unreal so quickly. This morning he vomited up his meds I called acute team and they suggested giving antisickness meds 30mins before all others. It breaks my heart he's just lying in bed sleeping with me insisting he take his meds while feeling totally hopeless.
HI Hippycat
like Paddys girl below, happy to hear your husband is home but sorry to hear that you're struggling.
I can relate to it as my husband was diagnosed with a grade 4 brain tumour in early Sept 2020. He underwent surgery to debulk the tumour and came home a different person. In reality, the person he was disappeared due to a seizure a couple of days before his surgery.
It's heart breaking for all concerned. I can empathise with feeling useless. I've never felt so useless as I have over this past year but we just need to keep going. It's unrelenting but you are doing so much better than you give yourself credit for ..trust me on that.
This community has been a great source of support to me over the past year. There's always someone around who "gets it".
