Morning Karen

Oops I missed you being grumpy I need to pay more attention. Sorry that work is a pain at present hopefully it will improve soon.

Now re studying (if this is an odd thing to discuss on your diet thread let me know) However we coudl be a cyber match made in heaven. I have the CIPD bit rusty as taken in 1996 but if you do get pressed to go down that route always happy to help in any way -even though I let my membership lapse as it got so expensive and its not essential for my work.

If you want my email to keep in touch re Phd or other study when you get going then this will be a technical miracle that will need explicit instructions for me.

In the meantime back to diet issues and good luck for this week

Hi, am doing my MSc and fingers crossed Phd next year so count me in on this! Somebody can write mine if they like?!?

Thanks M, that's really kind.

Well I haven't had the best of days today. My OH has been admitted to hospital. He's been ill for a week now and his GP referred him to a specialist. She took one look at him and admitted him. Goodness knows what she would have done if it had been this time last week as he was actually much worse then! He's going to be in for about a week for some intensive treatment and she's talking about a skin biopsy which sounds very frightening.

I've been comfort eating like you wouldn't believe and I always find it hard not to eat for England if I'm on my own :(

Thank you. I'm trying to keep busy. The hospital is an hour's drive away as well and has quite restrictive visiting hours which I'm a bit unhappy about. I've agreed a week's compassionate leave (I've only just gone back after 5 weeks off with stress, god knows what they'll think of me!) but I've got a few morning meetings that I might go to anyway as I'm not allowed to the hospital before 2pm and it will keep my mind off things I hope. I'm going to be desperate for a cuddle by the time he gets out as well - I have to sit decorously on a chair and hold his hand, even sitting on the bed isn't allowed in these days of MRSA.

At least he doesn't look quite as ill as he has done for the past few days.

Who cares about work at a time like this. Your OH is far more important. :D

Sweetie, only just read your posts, really sorry about whats happening with you, hope your OH is on the mend soon and I really wouldn't worry about what work will think of you, you have far more important things on your mind! Thinking of ya! x
 
Hi Karen, hope you're hanging in there and your OH is on the mend. Take care babe :hug99: xxx
 
Hope your oh is feeling a bit better hun, have a relaxing weekend.xx
 
Hows things Karen, thinking of you x
 
Hi all. Well, it never rains but it pours. I now have some sort of horrible fluey thing - aches and pains, a temperature, earache, cough etc etc. I feel absolutely pants and couldn't drive even if they would let me in to the hospital, which they won't!

Have spent yesterday evening and all of today in bed. OH should be home Monday or Tuesday and I have told him it's his turn to look after me! Thank god for modern technology, he has phone and email at his bedside. I'm moving into hospital from now on. They even have a menu for choosing what you want to eat.

I have stuck to my points apart from a bottle of cough medicine and a packet of throat sweets. I know they are sugary so do have points but I can't count them. If I sts, I'll deal with it but I need those points for chocolate!
 
You're right it never rains but it pours. Take care of youself and hope OH back there with you soon

Thanks M. I'm having a good old wallow in self pity and feeling cuddle-deficient. Even at the hosp it's not allowed as he can't get out of bed because of dressings etc and of course, you're not allowed to do anything other than sit decorously on a chair and hold hands for risk of MRSA.

Hopefully only a couple of days to go and I can cuddle to my heart's content - the dog keeps struggling out of my arms when I try to cuddle him!
 
Hi Karen,
I am sending you loads of love and cuddles i really am,i hope you feel better soon and oh gets better.
I have got my horrible cough back i really ach too,it never rains unless it pours.
