Feeling A Bit Guilty

[sherrardk]

Basically, I got to the end of my tether last night and had a hissy fit at himself (and then went to bed and had a good cry - neither the crying or the hissy fit are like me at all). He says he is feeling fine (he was really poorly at the start of July but has made a brilliant recovery) but he has done sod all round the house since he has been home from hospital (apart from make tea/coffee). I did apologise this morning and he did wash up while I was up the school but I am feeling a bit bad now. Not really a question, more of a vent, sorry.

Hi Tony, his memory has always been rubbish but he is unsure of things like routes to familiar places (I have reacquainted him with the directions to the washing up though). He has trouble with the odd word and has reintroduced his habit of biting his nails whilst driving (after I had spent years nagging him about it).

Mmmm, I understand, sherr. So is it hard to tell with his memory yet.

Hi tony, just happy he is not dead or in the state of some of the poor sods that were on his ward. It's all relative (he had better stop biting his nails though, drives me mental).

Sher, while I truly feel for you, think of the alternative. Mic has done nothing in our house but cause work. I now have to do everything, and I mean everything. Look on the bright side, for you things can only get better.

Hi Jeza, I am trying not to moan. It has just been tough. I have no idea how people who care for others long term cope. He has been v lucky (which I do get) but he is relatively young (well, young at heart) and we have young children. But I suppose everyone just has to get one with it, what is the alternative?
