Don't need any more!

After the hoist fiasco of last week, Fred is a bit down and needs chivvying before he starts thinking he is a stroke victim and gives up on us. This has got me down a bit as I have been worrying about him and having to make an extra effort to keep him happy.

Last night the phone rang and it was OH's mother to say that his dad had gone into hospital yesterday.

Tired, we went to bed early and watched a bit of tele. The power went off. OH went downstairs to find we had a water leak in the kitchen which was shorting out the water heater. Everything turned off, stopcock off, tanks drained, back to bed. The power needs to be on for the profiling bed and air mattress and, of course, the hoist.

Phone rang again at two for OH's brother to tell him their dad was in intensive care but had rallied so we went off to sleep again.

We woke to find the power off so he went down and rectified it also ringing intensive care while he was up.

They said he was not in there and couldn't find him on the wards.Suggested he ring his brother. Sadly, his dad died last night and the family couldn't raise OH to be there as the phone was off, it doesn't ring at night anyway but you can usually hear the click and our mobile signal is very weak.

I don't need any more grief this week.

awwwww! :-(

Oh Sharron. (((((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))))))) for you. Chin up girl <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

You'll be OK now that you've had your 'three'.

The main thing now is to concentrate on the living and to get the plumbing fixed. It will all work out in the end, then you can see if you can treat yourself to a day out. <3

Sorry to hear this, Sharron. I hope things will get better for you, I really do. Sending you some hugs.

Sharron
So sorry to hear of your father in laws death.
I do hope things start to go right for you now.
And you never whinge. I always look at your threads because You make me smile, usually with the things Fred gets up to. And I can only imagine how hard it must be for you at times. You have a great sense of humour. Make sure you keep that and you will get through anything. xx

It is not such a huge loss to me really. I don't have a good relationship with OH's mother and walked away from it very early on. Couldn't be bothered. I did like what I knew of his dad though.

Have never done anything to keep OH away from his family but I just don't get involved. I did, however, have quite a long talk with his mother on the phone last evening and offered my help should it be required. Might not take any of her old buck but I won't see anybody down if I can help it.

OH, of course, is devastated. The real job is supporting him in his grief.

Thank you for all the sympathy everybody.
