I loved reading this reply thank you for sharing peter25
. Carn’t remember what I said in my original comment now but he’s registered blind and has cancer .
I love the comment of missing a bullet I gonna tell him that .
I have asked him , what would he really like to do this year so we book / plan something he replied “nothing” he said ’ I can only think about getting through the day ". That’s so sad … Anyway I said I would like to go see a hot air balloon fiesta I had seen advertised… so he agreed we could book it … so that’s done but that’s till the end of summer …
Hubby seems to of lost all his spark for life, it’s so sad to see , physically he repeats a few things here and there , and is tired more and Carn’t sleep at night, bit more snarky lol . Bit unsteady on his feet on and off . Hates crowds , I just feel so sad seeing him living like this .
Walton have finally organised a 4d scan in April .
That might show up something new but I hope not .
Thank you everyone so much .
When I get time I will reply to each and every one of you xxx
Maybe I didn’t realise quite how much you husband had lost by way of his sight so if I made too light of it I apologise. But you’re 100% right to try and encourage him to make the most of what he is able to do. I wish you luck with the balloon fiesta, but be aware it could be crowded so just be prepared for that. Is it by any chance the one at Bristol? We used to live near there and went a few times, it is spectacular!
Anyway you’re doing the right thing so keep on keeping on, as we all do!
Hi Peter … no no dear I didn’t think that way at all …
I didn’t think about the crowds you correct I will be mindful … no not Bristol but Telford. we did the Bristol one about 13 years ago omg it was packed it was a glorious day you couldn’t walk for picnic blankets full of people all day … So we agreed we wouldn’t go back that way again too busy and too far … lucky you living so close we in North Wales
I know. After the initial euphoria of finding myself alive and reasonably well, I have increasing fear of another stroke and dying. I refuse to br treated with pills for depression. I am not depressed just frightened of what may happen. Little or no help after stroke as it was 2020. I feel its more PTSD. I have found someone I can talk about it to through GP.
Hubby’s 1st stroke was also 2020 then a few weeks ago out of blue so brought all them fears back to the surface again … I wish he could find someone to talk to wishing you the very best of health xx
If your hubby does want to talk this forum is a good place to come but may not be for him. The stroke association do have a here for you service though. This is a one to one conversation with a volunteer who has been in a similar position to you & they call you for 8 weeks to chat. About whatever you want to chat about. You can find out more at this link if it is something thar may be of interest.
