Hello Monju and very nice to meet you.
It is so sad to read of your circumstances and you must be feeling quite abandoned. It can be, as you say, difficult for our partners to be around so many health problems.
I hope you will feel welcomed to this 'virtual' family and post some more about yourself.
All the best

Once you tell us more about your health issues and worries..then the more we can give you our support.. Keep yourself positive as your surrounded now in a big supportive family...Megan.."
Thank you Megan
I have had chest problems for a while hoped it would sort it's self out. GP sent to watford who then referred me to Brompton who informed of the following problems. Emphysema, atopy asthma with poor reversibility, scarring on both lungs and taking so many inhalers and tablets.
As for the husband just had a major surgery done another one to follow and his gone. Still carrying on and getting on with it.

Hi monju, a huge welcome to our 'club'😀
I'm sorry to hear of all your health problems. I think it's the fear of the unknown & the future that some people don't understand, making them turn away.
I so hope you can get the help & support you need. We're here for you at all hours if you would like to tell us more about yourself or if you'd just like to chat.
Take care of yourself 💐
Hi jessy

monju hi welcome to a very caring supportive family best wishes x
Hi and welcome, You are having a tough time of it at the moment and sound as though you're being very strong about everything. I wonder if that really is the case? You have found another "family" here who will support you, listen to you and care what happens to you so happy to meet you and hope to get to know you better xx
Hi Diesel 12 and Titchy 52
Thank you for your words of support, just getting on with it, have no choice, trying to adjust to being on my own. Have no family, so just trying to get on with it.

Welcome to the group monju
Thank you Dedalus.
Hello monju,
Don't feel alone. I am glad you found us. Sometimes family can't cope with seeing the person they love suffering and then you have to be doubly strong yourself to get through some really bad times, and all that when you are feeling at your own lowest, but on the up side, you sound positive in yourself, and if there is anything any of us can help you with, please tell us, we'd like to get to know you.

Hi Jennifer
I understand perhaps some people are not strong enough, I failed to mention he was having an affair.
He can't break me as it's not the first time. Would it be wrong of me to say that it was no surprise? I think I am disappointed at the fact he know and planed this knowing I was going down hill with my health. If I am honest better now than when things get so worse.
Now I am able to plan a proper care plan and just doing what I want for a change.
Thank you for your support I have never felt so wanted and loved by strangers in my life, didn't think it could be possible.
Hi monju I really do not understand why people with medical conditions have such a problem with there husband/ wife not understanding and get no help. What happend to sickness and health. My husband died 3 years ago due to heart failure. But he was very suportive to me with my medical conditions. And I was his carer after he had his heart attack. Now I have to do everything by myself. But just take everyday as it comes . And do what I can when I can. And the support from this site is very helpful. Take care
Dear Nottobad
Sorry to hear about your lost. You have given me some sound advice and please belive me I will take it aboard.
Maybe in my case I just focus on how my health was going to trun out.
Spoke to my consultant and he was so supportive and understanding.
Not sure what the future has planed but I am not going out with out fight.
Thank you for sharing something so personal and I am so grateful your husband is not one of those who gave men a bad name.
Love
Monju
Hiya nonjury, I am wumpy cos it's my sons name - lost him several years ago, he had depression and overdosed, will never get any easier. Then on a happier note I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, then diabetes2, then COPD, and I refuse to think about it getting worse. I do think that specialists and doctors really do not understand how it affects everybody i.e. I wake up every day in pain and then worry all day about dieting! How do you feel it gets you nonjury. I have two Persian cats (they say its bad for my breathing) but I don't care they are my best friends. Husband is useless, says I winged all the time, well if all those partners out there had the pains we have they'd winge too lOl.
Hi wimpy, I am so sorry for your lost. 😔 We have to deal with so many issues and yet stay strong. It's a never ending turning off wheels. We can only keep fighting on. Stay strong and if you need to talk then feel free to do so. ♥
