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.

Just wondering how things are going Sewsilver?? Have been thinking of you and hoping that you are in less pain and maybe out of hospital?

flowers for you Sewsilver

Every sympathy to you and your DH - however, you must concentrate on yourself at the moment, however much you feel your DH needs you. I do hope the family are able to share the emotional as well as the practical burden with you and maybe organise a wheelchair when you are able to visit him? Could his Macmillan nurse help at all?
I cannot think of a worse situation to be in and am sending you a hug, a prayer for you BOTH and just my very best wishes flowers

Sewsilver kind thoughts to you and your poor DH. There's nothing you can do but get through it - remember to look after yourself too. flowers

Sewsilver, more [hugs] and flowers. I hope you're not in too much pain now that you're in hospital, and that you get out soon. Very best wishes to your DH.

Sewsilver, sending healing thoughts and lots of love. How awful for you, do you have family close by, if not hope you have lots of really nice friends to come to your aid. Will be thinking of you and hope you are coping. Love and [hugs] flowers

Sending you my good wishes too. Sorry to hear things are not good for you just now. flowers

How can life chuck so much at you sewsilver, you must be asking yourself that I'm sure. What an absolutely impossible situation for you and your DH. All I can send is my hope that you can get mobile soon - do you have friends or family nearby who can visit you and your DH to try and keep your spirits up?

You are perfectly entitled to feel extremely sorry for yourself, I'm sending ((((hugs)))) and very best wishes flowers

OMG, sewsilver. Just when you might have thought things couldn't get any worse. ((((hugs))))

Best Wishes Sewsilver, It must be so frustrating. I hope that you are not in too much pain and will be out again soon.

Faye Mon 23-Sep-13 14:14:23

When I read your post sewsilver I said to myself, oh no. I hope you have lots of support and I wish we could all help in some way. flowers

bikergran Mon 23-Sep-13 14:06:58

could your OH have a mobile or yourself? or maybe you have already covered that..

Hopefully orthopaedics will sort you out soon quickly so you can get together - somehow.

Lilygran Mon 23-Sep-13 13:08:04

Sewsilver I hope things get better for you very soon

glassortwo Mon 23-Sep-13 13:04:52

Hi sew I can imagine how down you feel, I dont know if its possible but can you get someone to take a laptop or similar and set skype up so at least you can have a chat and see each other. {{{hugs}}}

Sewsilver Mon 23-Sep-13 13:00:32

Just to update all you supportive people, I was admitted to orthopaedic ward last night as I now can't walk at all. DH in hospice 15 miles away so no chance of seeing him . It feels impossible and am struggling not to feel sorry for myself. I daren't even imagine what he's going through.

Sometimes life/fate is a complete bitch and everything seems to conspire to bring you down. Here's wishing you strength to get you through the next few weeks and months. flowers
