Last night i sat in the bath talking with my hubby. I told him all what i had told yoiu al the other day and how i feel and everything. He sat and listened to me without poo pooing me which was nice. He is of the opinion that this viral infection i had over Easter which caused me a lot of pain and feling unwell and was the cause of why i am feeling like this. He also pointed out that as i am chronically ill i take longer to recover which is also true sadly. Anyway i got it all off my chest and he told me he couldn't do without me even if i didn't do anything at all,which was lovely. The upshot of al this talking was i slept like a log nearly all night and i didn't get up until seven this morning which has been unusual just laterly.
So all is good this morning and hopefully it will last and i am not saying it will,but at this moment in time i am ok. Thank you all for the lovely support you gave me the other day and hugs to you all.xxxxx

Hi Sylvi. I'm glad to hear you had a good sleep but no going out in the garden and ruin it now just relax and take it easy for a bit , You have a good husband there please take care X Dawn xx
Now then sylvi .... you sure he's that sympathetic, or does he just like watching you taking a bath??
Seriously, he sounds great. I reckon no matter how much we 'know' about the effects of disease, the reality of the low times can hit us hard.
You hang on in there, hope you have a much better day. Hope your other half washed your back for you.
A good sleep really does help. I think when we are bad we can close ourselves in a little bubble and not communicate with our OH's about how we feel. Just remember little and often and don't overdo things - set yourself a timer if necessary and not keep going because you feel OK at that time. Farm
Just shows how communication eases a situation. We concern ourselves sometimes & it plays on our minds but it can be a bit mountains & molehills. Having someone who understands when we open up relieves that weighted-down feeling, a bit like making up when you've had words. Knowing that you're loved when you feel wretched helps too!
I'm pleased you had a good sleep Sylvi, I'm a great believer in the restorative nature of a restful night, possibly another reason you feel that bit more positive today? x
glad you had a heart felt chat with your hubby. I wish mine was a bit more understanding, you would have thought he would be as he suffers to. He has told you as long as you are there that is all that matters. You dont have to do anything in the house or garden , just being there is what counts. So remember dont rush to do things and when you do only do bits and rest a bit.
Aw Sylvi, so lovely to hear you sounding so much brighter !! Your Bob sounds a lovely man, very caring and understanding. Anyway, don't get going mad doing lots of things, take it one day at a time and hopefully you will soon be feeling so much better.
So glad you are feeling better....it's amazing what a good nights sleep can do. So lovely your o h knows you so well, and there to support you. So precious! M x
