So it’s been about 11 weeks now since my partner had his stroke and operation to relieve the blood/fluid from. His brain...

he still lays in a bed waiting for rehab after complications with his heart (endocartitis) .

It’s starting to feel like a real struggle now for me mentally , I feel we’re so close to getting him home but so far at the same time...

Everyday seems the same at the hospital nobody seems to let you know what might be happening...

Sorry for the moan I feel so guilty as it’s him who is so ill but just feel like I need to vent. A little

Morning Sonia you are allowed to vent and here is the perfect place to do it! Don't feel guilty your husband may be one in the hospital bed but you are the one sat next to him and you are going through a trauma too! It's mentally and emotionally exhausting sending you a Massive hug today is a new day cut yourself some slack and make sure you allow yourself time to feel too you have no reason to feel guilty about struggling we are only human! Take care come on here whenever you need to xxx

sonia 1903 make sure the hospital have done all they can do, be patient.

when the hospital tells you he ll be able to come home dont rush it, find out what his care needs will be and get those in place before you allow him to come home, trust me that really is top advice.
