Well I haven’t seen family since lockdown and haven’t been out of the house since January but the last two days everyone has been.
My husband collapsed and there was no way I can manage him on my own so my family as well as sorting out the medical side of it came and did all the practical things. I’m extremely vulnerable being on oxygen and non invasive ventilation but sod that when my husband needs help. He went to hospital checked and sent home with antibiotics where later on he promptly collapsed again. The worry was having had a brain haemorrhage and having a shunt in that the shunt had stopped working . Still waiting for news at the moment. Luckily my family are very sensible and have been very careful with keeping away from people as much as possible so I’m not feeling that I’m at risk anymore than I was before and to be honest not sure if I will carry on shielding from them . Will not go out myself but will allow them to come and see me.

It must be a very worrying time for you and your family. I hope your husband gets well soon. Thinking of you all and take care of yourself 😊 Bernadette xx xx 🌈
You've done very well for so long this was a case of needs must, there was no way you could manage on your own. So glad you had the family there to help you, hope everything works out well for hubby. You take care Xxx
So sorry to hear this, I hope your husband is fairing better today and you are feeling a little more settled. You must do what you feel is right for you both and at the same time stay as well and safe as you can.
Sorry to here of your plight. Glad you have help at this worrying time. Try to stay positive and not stress as this will have a bad effect on your fragile breathing. Good luck and peace and love to you and yours.
I do hope your husband is okay. You really didn't have any choice but to get help. I am so glad you have a supportive and sensible family. Do let us know how your dear husband goes. It all must be so stressful for you. x
I would of done exactly the same, you have to follow your instincts, I think in the wake of what's been happening in this country over the last couple of weeks, it's become a free for all utterly selfish people gathering in large crowds protesting when their was absolutely no need, without the government putting a stop to it, so my attitude is now I will do whatever I feel is best for me and my family, the government have slapped everyone who has been shielding/staying at home for the greater good in the face, so as far as I'm concerned now they can get stuffed, I will make my decisions for myself and family. I do hope your hubby is feeling better.
Hope your husband makes a good recovery. You do still need to take care of yourself and keep shielding measures in place as much as you can. All best wishes
What a horribly anxious situation for you, even in normal times, and even worse right now. There comes a point at which only the people involved can really prioritise what is important, and I think that you and your family have made all the right decisions, and I'm sure you're being very sensible about taking care. As others have said, look at all those idiots out there, who are making absolutely no effort to think of anyone else.
I hope hubby gets sorted and recovers quickly.im glad yr family have rallied round.u need them and thats the most important thing at presthinking of u xx
Hope your husband recovers and is back with you soon. It’s good you have the support of your family and minimal risk. You need your family at times likes this so take care.sending you all best wishesX
