Am feeling a bit guilty/selfish now. I've started backing away a bit from all the worrying/micromanaging. I was getting so overwhelmed.
He is now becoming more aware of requirements and hurdles to our lives.
It's a relief that he is stating to take more control.
His first thought though, was what happens if I have my reversal and can't drive. How will he get to his appointments. How will he get his food orders delivered, pay the cleaner
It is weird I know he is sick but all his worries seem to be about him. I am just a footnote its almost as though I am invisible.
Hi FiveO
I am glad to read about you backing away a bit from worrying/micromanagement as that is often a key step for carers when we realise that we have to take a bit of care of ourselves too and that is much more practical rather than selfish.
When I have been in hospital Janice tended to manage with public transport indeed managing something of a loop with getting our son off to college, then to me in hospital and then meeting son from college before coming home but then I guess we are reasonablly lucky to be only about 12 miles from the hospital. In the past we have sometimes managed to get a lift from a friend too.
<<hugs>>
