To feel paranoid

I Have been here at the hospice for the last couple of weeks with DH who is now very ill. Two days ago I went out for a ten minute walk, slipped on a conker and fractured my pelvis. I can't decide if I'm living in the middle of a tragedy or a farce. I am now hobbling about on a Zimmer frame and can't drive for 6 weeks.

I've been cursing because my oven blew up just as I was going to put the chicken in it. Reading your post has put it all in perspective for me! Do hope you can get through the next 6 weeks - it must be an absolute nightmare. Best wishes to you and DH flowers

Best wishes Sewsilver I hope you heal with no further problems at a time when you need all your strength. My thoughts are with you. flowers

Thank you all for your wise and kind words and offers of help. You will probably never know how much Grans reaching out to me has helped. And that's in addition to all the times in the last few weeks GN has made me laugh at a time when not much else has.

Sewsilver does your hospice have a support centre? If so they may be able offer you some of the practical help you need. Sending very best wishes to you and hope that you have a rapid recovery. flowers

So awful for you! flowers

wisewoman Sat 21-Sept-13 15:43:27

Life can be really shitty sometimes and just when you think things can't get worse, they do and usually to lovely people. I hope you have lots of support around to help at least with the practical details. Sending hugs and flowers.

Absolutely awful thing to happen to you at this dreadful time. As others have said, I do hope that you are getting help with shopping, housework and also lifts to the hospice. flowers

Sewsilver how horrible, I do feel for you. I hope your hip heals quickly. flowers and a glass of wine to ease the pain.

Lona Sat 21-Sept-13 14:25:54

sewsilver that is dreadful bad luck, I'm so sorry that you are having such a hard time.
I too hope that you're getting enough help and support flowers

Very sorry to read this Sewsilver I don't think we have spoken before, but I am thinking of you flowers

gracesmum Sat 21-Sept-13 13:16:13

I am SO sorry to hear about this Sewsilver - as if you didn't have enough on your plate at the moment. Like others, I hadn't realised your DH was so poorly, so you must be under a massive strain - this could easily have contributed to the fall along with that pesky conker. Do take advantage of any and all help and support around - and I hope there is plenty, ASK if necessary and, to state the obvious, take care of yourself. Thinking of youu flowers flowers to you both and a huge, but gentle {hug}

moomin Sat 21-Sept-13 12:51:35

What a dreadful thing to happen sewsilver, I can't imagine how awful all this is for you at the moment. I, too, am thinking of you and sending flowers to both you and your DH

Marelli Sat 21-Sept-13 12:51:02

sewsilver, I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope that people will rally round to give you a bit of support just now. flowers

Nelliemoser Sat 21-Sept-13 12:20:59

Oh Sewsilver (((hugs))) that is just dreadful!

j08 Sat 21-Sept-13 11:57:52

Oh my God sewsilver! That is just awful. So unfair! flowers

Mishap Sat 21-Sept-13 11:48:15

Bad enough anyway without this dreadful timing for you both. Are you able to get a lift to the hospice? Thinking of you.

Sorry to hear of all the rotten things happening to you - I know it can sometimes feel as if the world and his wife are making things hard for you. I hope you get better soon and you are getting lots of support flowers

Tegan Sat 21-Sept-13 10:01:50

We were only talking last night about how bad things happen to good people [because of something that's hapening to someone we know quite well]. So I'm so sorry to hear of what's happened to you, sewsilver. Big hug from me, also.
