Poor Himself is currently ensconced in Treliske hospital, having become very poorly over the weekend. I feel very strange, as if I'm living in some parallel universe ruled by doctors and nurses speaking in a language I don't understand. My husband has seeped away, and is replaced by an old, frail man.
It's difficult to keep sane at the moment. But I know I must keep doing the things I always do – work and walking Mollie – and my friends have been so wonderful and supportive. Several have provided food so I don't have to cook (eating is difficult when your stomach is constantly lurching as if on a cross channel ferry) and sleep is a bit hard to come by.
But I know he's in the best place and just hope that he responds to his treatment very soon. Keep your fingers crossed.

I've got everything crossed for Himself and you. I hope he feels much better soon and I'm glad you have the support of good friends fp. x
Thanks Lane - much appreciated.
How difficult for you. I do know what it is like to see someone age in days through illness.
Equally, they rejuvinate in days too. So fingers crossed.
Thanks so much for encouraging words - I do hope so!
Oh Flowerpot I'm so sorry to hear Himself is so poorly but he is in the best place and remarkable things happen in hospital, I'm sure he'll be well again in no time. In the meantime to supplement what the doctors are doing for him I will be sending him oodles of Reiki and positive thoughts. Of course I'll be including you in my prayers and Reiki. Keep your chin up m'dear. xx
Sending lots of positive thoughts and cyber hugs. I hope Himself feels much better very soon. Everything crossed for you both. x

Take care of yourself

Keeping everything including eyes crossed for Himself and if I learned anything from a similar experience its that you need to look after yourself so please make sure you do. Also routine is a great distraction.

Fingers and toes crossed. I completely understand how you feel. It is lovely that friends are flocking round. All I can say is keep busy - it helps distract you and makes you tired at night.

Fingers crossed, FP. I do hope Himself gets beeter soon x
