Right, I thought that would get your attention.
I imagine Her Maj is experienced in coping with most things and while Prince Philip's health problems will be a worry to her I expect she will remain serene and calm.Do we have that in common?
This is where I need a slap round the face with wet flannel or a boot up the wotsit for moaning.
Could all NGnetters with poorly husbands please help me to keep smiling?
We went for DH's suit for the wedding today (worried that it hadn't come in so panic setting in !) and DH tried it on so that the tailor could make a few adjustments. As he was paying for it, he had another of his dizzy episodes, we got a chair, he put his head between his knees and the far-sighted manager got us a plastic bin into which he was violently sick. Got him some water, he sat for a bit, I offered to deal with the offending bin and eventually he was well enough to make it back to the car. He has now goen to bed.
I know that gally, jeni and others will tell me I am lucky to still have him so bl***y shut up; others with far greater problems will think likewise, but the relentlessness of not being able to count on him being well enough to enjoy simple things is wearing me down. The thinking is that these episodes might be heart-related, but no firm evidence. Please don't think me unsympathetic, but I look at other retired couples and think "we should be able to go out for a day/do a NT house/have a holiday/even - whisper it - go shopping/enjoy a garden/whatever" I just do not see a light at the end of this tunnel.
As for the wedding next week, I don't know how we will cope - the last thing either of us wants is to cloud DD's big day.
So please - all wet flannels/kicks gratefully received and when I have finished I will SHUT UP.
