Huge rant from the sick zone that is my house...

7 Replies

Its crazy...been the most random summer break ever this week especially. had to wait to here if i even had a job to go back to in september, was in hospital for my hip at the start, come home all went ok but stress was getting the better of me,

Sunday - Finds out a girl I helped teach last year has died big shock, my dad gets this awful cold or virus or summat I dunno, anyway the same night he falls...big style... cue me playing nurse at 2.30am when oddly enough i was still awake worryin about my job, blood and cuts everywhere cleans the bathroom sorts mom an dad back to bed, i go back to bed agen..

Monday - more playing nurses lets clean the bathroom 4 more times due to more bleeding and later that day mom cuts her toe on summat too on the way to the bathroom...so again...yippee more blood more cleaning and more plasters. by this point distinct lack of sleep an severe mood swings are taking its toll and just for measure my asthma kicks off (it was obviously feeling left out) but my peak flow meter broke a while back and i havent replaced it yet.

Tuesday - still waiting to hear from work which i'd been told we'd here this week, OH is now ill cause shes speant so much time at my house so must have caught what dad has...great cue OH wanting lots of sympathy along with father with cuts an bruses everywhere as well as a stinkin cold, finally admitting how much his wrists hurt after falling (both parents have diabetes, severe arthritis and dad had strokes few yrs back) and mom with cut toe and the beginings of a cold. I try to walk without crutches for first time an instead of praise i get told how stupid i am and shouted at for trying it, despite it being the right time by what physio had said an lets face it if i can get dad up an back to bed and find plasters and anticeptic wipes at stupid oclock in the mornin without my crutches im pretty sure im safe.

Wednesday - OH still after sympathy,dad still ill but better an now mom with cold too...however she seems to think shes the only one in the world ever to be ill!!! I finally gets call from work tho...I STILL HAVE A JOB!!! lets face it summat good had to happen. however everyone still ill, me runnin round like a loon after everyone, mom demanding attention as of course no one has ever been as ill as she is before and me trying to explain that yes i have a job but no i wont know which departments im helping in till i get my new timetable in september (you'd think after 5yrs they'd have sussed how this works)

Thursday - I got a much needed lie in an i refuse to feel guilty!!! lol found mom still in bed at 12 an dad downstairs trying to strip wall paper so hes clearly feelin better tho still ill and now he has an enormous bruise on his head hes begining to realise why we were so worried the other night. im trying to rearrange furniture in my room and moms later sat downstairs in the lounge watching tv feeling very sorry for herself. OH is at hers but reminding me at every possible moment that she feels worse.

This week has been insane, infact this summer has generally...there is no real point to this just needed to get it out. And yes I got whatever it is on monday and feel rotten but no ones realised that yet! lol
