MI + cancer = 😵😵😵
Mutual support = yay
@Former-Member , @RMG perhaps you would like to share here, you are not alone. My husband with bipolar ii was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in March this year. He had surgery, came home, was readmitted to hospital as he got an infection. He is now home and I am struggling to get a routine going.

We were at Casualty tonight. Mr. RMG has had increasing pain on his right hand side near the hip for the last 7 months. As he is an incomplete paraplegic it's so difficult. Lots of UTI's plus mixed messages.
I feel so bad.
I left him there.
There was a mental health patient who was near us in Emergency and really going off and aggressive.
I didn't cope. It reminded me too much of my Mr RMG time in casualty.
I left.
I feel bad.

@RMG I haven't spoken to you yet in the forums however just wanted to mention I think it's ok to have limits and you found one ... better to honour that boundary and care for yourself than push through and become a wreck yourself ... I felt bad when due to covid I wasn't allowed in emergency with my partner a couple of weeks ago - as usually I'd stay ... however it was lovely to go home and sleep as we'd been up all night .. staying would have wrecked me and the carers don't get beds to rest and sometimes we just really need a break ... it's ok to take care of you xxx hugs 🤗
