I know that feeling exactly .We had a life changing moment March 2018 . My DH had been diagnosed with gall stones (couple of small ones ) and was due to have an operation in April 2018 . Suddenly he became VERY ill and was taken to hospital with Sepsis and a ruptured gall bladder . He nearly died ,was in ITU for 2 weeks. He eventually came home with a large open abdominal wound and was looked after by the community nurses for weeks .Our holiday was cancelled ( a minor detail really) with no money back as he had already stated he had gall stones! One year later he is still not fully recovered, BUT we have booked a holiday with all the family . Here's hoping !
The whole event made me think seriously about things and to expect the unexpected . We have been together for nearly 50 years although not always hunky dory, I have a few friends whose partners have died and they have been amazing in picking themselves up and building a new life . It is definitely good to have a life other than your partner and your family . If I die first though DH will not have a clue . Despite my trying all the time encouraging him to learn to use the machines, all he can manage is the microwave ! At least he won't starve..
Parents-in-Law. What do/did you call them?
What were the first ever records that you bought and when?
