I Need A Friendly Voice - Not Having A Good Week X

[Smowball]

Had scan on my fractured back to confirm the cementing procedure, only to be told that the 2 discs have disintegrated and there is nothing to cement into. So only option is metal plates /screws, if there is anything to screw into. So I have a 4 hour scan next week!! Then FIL had his heart stopped and re started this week as his pacemaker was playing up. Went well. Then yesterday he woke up to bleeding in his urine. Was sent straight to hospital, where they apparently flushed out his bladder(??) and is home now, but doesn’t sound good. Apart from that it’s been a good week lol xx

I wish I could wave a magic wand for you, Smow! :-)
I'm sure the thought of it is quite scary for you. I'm sure you'll be in good hands, and hopefully be a good outcome.
You'll be a new girl in no time. At least you got youth on your side.. :-)
As for your FiL, glad his heart has been sorted. As for the other problem, it is a bit of a worry but you need to concentrate on you, take care of yourself, so you'll be in relatively good health. Best wishes to you and your FiL x

Scary time but try not to fret, you and your FIL are in good hands and the problems are being dealt with.
Spring has sprung, so lots to look forward to

[Lie-in King]

I can only offer you & your fil my very best wishes. Take extra care of yourself & stop losing bits along the way ;-) x

Can only add my good wishes, sometimes the bad stuff can be so overwhelming, but other times you find the strength to get through it. Just rest during the bad days, and keep your battling for the better ones

I can only offer you both my thoughts and prayers.
Been bad here, too (OH in A&E suspected brain-bleed)and I'm reeling, but at least we are now home and trying to recuperate. You are still in the middle of it.
Try to focus on what you can affect - and that is getting well yourself as much as possible. I've got a dicey 2 vertebrae myself, so can understand your fears.
You have a lot going for you. FiL sounds to be strong and recovering and I'm sure he doesn't want you using energy worrying about him.
Concentrate on things improving. xx

[lankeela]

Everything crossed for the best possible outcomes.

[Old_Geezer]

[Sam1960]

It's easy to feel that everything is going wrong. I tend to just take it a day at a time. Remember that there things outwith your control. No amount of worrying is going to change that.

Watch funny cat videos, they help numb your brain for a little while.

[rowanwitch]

Swearing parrot videos are my go to at the moment. Loads on youtube. Anything to distract yourself for a few minutes helps.

[Chipchopper]

Try to look on the bright side, Smow.
Hope it all works out for you and yours.
Take care

Rotten for you, Smow. I wish you well. x
