A quick update
Hi everyone!
I hope that you are all fine and dandy. Life is still very hectic so i am not getting online but i wanted to let you know what what going on. Firstly Dsis is still in hospital- 5th week tomorrow. She has been really unwell due to a horrible wound infection and was put on super duper intravenous antibiotics which made her feel even more lousy. Unfortunately, the infection hasn't cleared up and they wanted to take her down to theatre again in order to sort it all out. It looks like there is an alternative involving some machine which will suck the infection out, which she prefers the sound of. There is good news, however- the results came back that the fibroid was benign so i am incredibly glad about that and think we owe a lot to everyone's prayers and positive thoughts. Mum has totally run herself into the ground and has managed to pick up a bad dose of flu so has been off work for 10 days and not able to visit dsis (much to her chagrin). Oh, and we have had no central heating and little/no hot water for the past 5 weeks. BUT- i am very grateful that we seem to be on the road to better things (touch wood and all that)- Dmum is feeling less horrible, Dsis is much brighter, in far less pain and has even had toast and the like to eat. Lots of funny things keep happening so there has been plenty of hilarity. And finally, Ddog had her pups- 4, all very cute. I am trying to catch up with all my obligations- Noreen i owe you something for you and you know what, i am working like mad in the hospital on the latter and hopefully will get it off on Monday. Aud- i still owe you but know that you have generously given me an extension. Regards Sarah |

Thanks Nora- Dsis is batting on positively and is on this new vac therapy machine which is sucking the infection out (i like to think of it as dynarod). Mum is improving and Cindy is just too adorable with her 4 cute sausages. regards Sarah |

Thanks Noreen- i appreciate your patience so much. I just can't seem to surface long enough to do anything which drives me crazy because it is just not me.... Sarah - This is a normal reaction to major stress, so try not to stress over it too much. g Seriously, it's just the natural depression after a *major* event in your life, and it will pass. There's no set time for recovery, it varies with everyone. A couple months, several... you can't predict the time, and you can't force the improvement, either. The best you can do is to understand it's something natural you're going through, and be easy on yourself. If nothing else, keep telling yourself you'll better be able to understand and support your sister when she goes through the same thing - which is highly likely - after she finally gets cured of that nasty infection. It may come as an unpleasant surprise to her - people often forget or don't know that it really does take about a year to fully get over anything big that happens in their lives. Even if the event is something good! So again, try not to worry too much about it 'not being you.' Maybe not normally... but life hasn't been normal for you or your family lately. Naturally you're going to react differently than you're used to. All your reserves have been depleted, even if you weren't the one having the operation, and you have to build them back up. Something like your sister's op and the aftermath is a shock to the system of everyone close to her, so you're all going to go through some version of it. Luckily, it sounds like you're very supportive of each other, and that'll help a lot. Just be patient with yourself, and you'll get back to normal, don't worry! And lest I sound like a psychology expert here, I'm not. It's only that I have clinical depression, bad enough that I'm on permanent disability, which apparently started when I was quite young. None of my doctors figured it out until I was in my mid-30's. Once they did, though, I learned a lot about it really fast. ) (wasn't there another thread discussing mononucleosis? that's what my depression was first diagnosed as, when it got bad enough to be noticed when I was a teen. LOL!) Anyway, what you're experiencing is the temporary version, which feels just as unsettling. But it *will* go away after a while, so hang in there!
