Losing the plot

[Ewife]

Sometimes I feel like I'm slowly but surely losing the plot! We are currently travelling to Leeds for my partner to have his routine endoscopy, and the appointment/procedure letter has gone completely missing so running on faith here🙀. I've been thinking lately, that living with serious illness in the house is like living with a playground bully. I find myself doing things I wouldn't normally do, because of fear. I'm always double checking myself, looking over my shoulder, putting it first ahead of other considerations - all in fear of what it might do to me in revenge or payback time. I mean, I feel bad that this letter has gone missing but its not even my illness or my appointment 🤷‍♀️

Does anyone else relate to this?

Sorry, just to make clear - its the illness that's the bully, not my poor husband!! 🙃

Is there a chance the letter was also emailed to you ?

No - it's a shame they don't do that for those that use smartphones!!! Oh well, he'd had enough experience to know what to do - eg. No food or drink etc. We got to the right place and they did it. And yipppeeee - the varices are still behaving themselves! He just had a couple of biopsies taken so feeling a bit rough around the edges. I've got lots of soup and mushy meals in the freezer.......

Have you rang the hospital appointments line as they should be able to help in checking for the appointment and let you know the date, time etc. Good luck and don't put yourself down as it makes the matter far worse than it is.
