All I wanted today was a nice, quiet, relaxing evening and possibly an early night as I haven't been feeling too good the last few days

J *folds into hug* I have been away from LJ for a long time but still follow my dear friends. If I can do anything to help I am here - and usually awake in the middle of the night too... With all my love D xxx
Thanks, D, The hug helps. I just don't know if I should try to sleep - I'm exhausted as it is, I never get enough sleep, but Lord knows what the stupid hospital might do. I'm worn out, but tense and stressed and not feeling well anyway. I was so happy earlier because of some nice news, and looking forward to a relaxing evening. Then this happens. I should have known. When one thing goes wrong, everything else piles on top. That's always the way. I'm not well, so naturally the universe dumps everything it can on me. I just wish I could move out and leave someone else to cope with everything.
*HUGS* I'm really sorry for everything you're going through! That would be stressful and awful under the best of circumstances, but being ill yourself just makes it so much worse. I wouldn't want to sleep either knowing I might be woken up at any minute by a jangling phone... but maybe take the phone in with you and try to rest? Just lying down and doing some breathing exercises might help. Your mental state, if nothing else.
Thanks *hugs* Going to try to sleep soon. I've got the phone with me but don't know how long it last when not attached to its base. Can't leave it downstairs because I won't hear if it rings.
The joys of my life. I sleep badly at the best of times and I really need sleep at the moment, I'm so exhausted.
Well, didn't get much sleep, then my sister phoned at 7.30 in the morning and woke me up. I still know practically nothing. I know mum spent the night in A & E (your ER), I know she's been moved to a ward this morning, but since I can't get through on the phone to the bloody ward, I have no idea about anything else. I've been trying for more than 3 1/2 hours. If my sister or niece manage to find out anything, they'll phone me. *sigh*
I feel for you. I too am a caregiver (I live with my Dad) and have been in similar situations. Try to get some sleep - I know that's hard to do when you're worried and all wound up. *HUGS*
*hugs back* Thank you. It's a hard role to be in. I'm not in good health or physically strong, so it'd hard enough at the best of times, but right now... In a way, it's worse than after her stroke, because at least then I could talk to the nurses at the hospital. Right now, I can't even get through to the ward mum's on. I've lost count of how many times I've phoned just to be told the line is busy and to call back later.
so sorry to hear that things are so difficult ... Well, I am a vampire and stay up late at night if you need to rant, I am your ear! Hope everything gets better by tomorrow ... sending an extra large hug, my friend!
Thanks, M *hugs back* I got a bit of sleep, but I've been trying to get through to the hospital for hours and all I've managed to find out is that she's been moved to a ward. The ward's phone is busy though and I can't get through to speak to anyone.
