ShaunW Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 Guys this isn't about cars but I wanted to share it with you. MrsW's had an operation on Monday and a second one today to fix bleeding caused by the first. I really thought I was going to lose her. It's been a very long day and I'm probably only saying this because I'm tired and emotional but.... Put down the spanners for a minute and go and give whoever it is that makes your dinner and washes your vest and pants a little squeeze while you can. Unless it's your butler then that would be just strange. Joking aside you know what I mean. OK stiff upper lip, nuf of all that. As you were fellas. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Lindsay Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 An excellent post Shaun, that made me appreciate what I have. Best wishes for a full recovery to Mrs W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaunW Posted November 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 Thanks everyone. Very kind. Things are going slowly but in the right direction. The setbacks are the worst thing and we could do with some news. Nurses are the usual combination of angels and dragons but it would be heck of a lot worse in most other countries. Small mercies eh. I realise you don't know us from Adam and visa versa too I suppose. But I'll be frank and say I'm a bit of a loner and that suits me 99.9% of the time. But it's been a great help telling someone/anyone when I get home to an empty house at the end of another very long day. You're all very kind and I hope I haven't brought the generally cheerful mood down too much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 All the best Shaun totally agree, I know where you are coming from, my Dad has weeks if we are lucky. I don't know what I'd do if Mrs Q wasn't around to soak up the emotions! Although if I gave her a squeeze she might get the wrong idea and anticipate I'd done something wrong!!

Adrian There speaks a man who's don't plenty of appologising. I lost my dad a couple of years ago but he'd been ill for so long it was a classic case of being a happy release. You'll go through the full range of emotions ...but that's a healthy thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 Nearly lost mine my partner, three times so far. All the same partner! If there's anyone here who does need it, grief is a complex process, and the good old NHS is up to helping: https://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/bereavement/Pages/coping-with-bereavement.aspx And if the end is inevitable, but not here yet, it has lots of ways of helping too. There is a CancerCare, McMillan or other palliative care support organisation in most centres. Ask forr it, or Google, but go and see them.
