Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Hi @Shaz51

Does your mother not know what is wrong? Have the doctors just not told her or has she got mixed up.

Other people have had sick mothers too and so I have it mixed up in my memory - was your Mum the one with pancreas pain? - or is she the one with cancer? - I really forget and I am so sorry - but I would be peeved if I didn't know myself

I know your husband finds it hard to cope when things happen. And things will happen - none of us has a free ticket - though that would be nice

He needs that dx - and I am sorry about the kidney stones -

Yes - take care of yourself - you need to put yourself first with all this going on around you - but you know this

I am just writing notes - I know you like notes - and some hugs - and some more hugs

Living alone as certain advantages

Hello @Decadian, @PeppiPatty, @Faith-and-Hope, @Former-Member

Mum is the one with pancreas pain? yes, she is tired but she is ok xx

I am a bit tired and I hope I am not getting a clod

I hope you are not getting a clod too @Shaz51 - that would be terrible

I hope you are not getting a cold - I thought I was getting one last night - and the pressure in my sinuses built up and up and up until I finally thought - ""Silly girl - take a tablet for sinus pressure" so I did and it worked and I went back to bed for a while and laid face down on a hot water bottle and I think that was that

A clod - that is a terrible thing to have - and I hope you don't have a cold either

I love typos - most I let go but other's - they are too great to ignore

I hope you feel better by now

ha ha ha Yes @Decadian, I thonk a clod might be worse than a cold

yea I think mine might be sinus too

hubby has gone to sleep , snoring and the aicon on

i am watching tv , writting on the forum and drinking water thi afternoon

hello @Shaz51 and all others

a quick note to say, sounds like a little bit of calm finally for you. make the most of it. enjoy your "me" time.

i am always thinking of you even if i dont respond. am finding so many to respond to. i am spending too much time on here and need to cull.

so if you dont hear from me for a while or just notice me elsewhere on this huge cyberspace, i am still here for you.

you inspire me truly as do others on here.

thank you all xxxxxx

I'm not sure @Former-Member .... let's ask @NikNik .... I have seen that she is around.

You are referring to the Topic Tuesday discussion on carer burnout, aren't you ?
