Every cloud and all that...

[Louise5]

So today the old Endo has reared its ugly head. Fortunately I was working from home, so no long commute, just my own timescales in my own home with my own hot water bottle whilst I worked. And then the school pick up. Cue 3 boys carrying in heavy bags from the supermarket, putting it all away and washing up their lunch boxes. Then enter 2 daughters who make lunches for everyone tomorrow and assist with tea whilst the boys are setting the table and getting Mum a blanket. All tea items are placed in the dishwasher by an 11 & 10 year old, whilst the youngest decides to give his mum a tummy rub to ease her pain. All kids showered, downstairs and putting a family DVD on to watch with me so I'm not on my own. And then before bed, the dishwasher is emptied so I don't have to do it.

So, despite my pain, my tiredness, my slight frustration at this endo, I had 5 amazing kids today who put everything in perspective. I am one lucky mum. And sometimes, posting something positive even in the depths of pain, might just give others hope or a different perspective. So as I sit here on the couch, still with the hot water bottle attached to my tummy, I feel tired buy I also feel lucky. Some people don't understand endo, but my kids do and they look after me as I would them, so every cloud and all that... : )

Aww this was such a lovely post to read!! It's horrible suffering isn't it but when you look at your children and how great they are with you being poorly it makes you feel so lucky. My 3year old is so helpful and been great since I've been ill with all this. They keep you strong don't they 🙂 Xx

That's so lovely to read, we are lucky to have our children, exspecially with this terrible bloody condition, so many don't get to be mums and dads,

My children 3boys have all been so good to me over the last 2 years, we are truly blessed.

I hope you have a better day tomorrow
