Re: Trying to stay Sane

Oh no re your Dad! 😮 Is he going to have to have another surgery?

I am very impressed that you have placed yourself in the position you feel you need to be in re your parents...

You're right, it is a risk to see anyone re Covid. I was too anxious to go to the breakfast in my friend's house on Tuesday - there would have been quite a few people there. Instead I've made a date with the two friends I was hoping to see, outside at a local cafe, for next week. I feel more comfortable with that. I hope your friend is not badly ill with Covid?

I did go back to bed this morning but only for about half an hour, psyching myself to go out to the library and the supermarket. I feel better now that's done.

I hope the day at home tidying and cleaning goes nicely and you enjoy having your boys back tomorrow - I know you were enjoying the time to yourself and with your bf.

Thanks for your kind wishes, dear @Anastasia

Sending lots back, along with hugs and 💚 and plenty of 🌞.

Thank you @Bow ❣️

@NatureLover coffee date sounds good next week, under the circumstances I think that's a really good decision.

Well done for getting to the library and supermarket today. You did well!

I doubt Dad will have surgery. He's still in ER awaiting a bloomin Covid test result!!!! He has had five litres of fluid drained from his tummy, not at all a good sign of where he's at. I'm staying hopeful but fearing the worst. Sorry I'm not here for you or others much. I have you in my thoughts and heart everyday 🙏💞

It's totally OK, you're where you need to be at the moment for your Dad and Mum and family, and most importantly yourself.

I hope your boy is OK when he comes home today.

Thinking of you lots 💚

Thank you for understanding @NatureLover and your friendship 🙏

I've hardly slept. I had a feeling of dread about Dad. I expected a call, nothing so that is good. I'm overthinking that he has Covid. Stupid I know.

My boy told me on phone yesterday he'll call hospital on his return 😔

Really was hoping he'd return with better thoughts 😔

Sending you 💚

I'm beyond sad...

They're settings up palliative care for Dad, nothing more they can do, my darling Dad and Mum 😭
