The Start

Josie

I thank you for the words of encouragement.  This is my second day home on my own, and it really helps to have "friends" out there who understand.  As I look around my house and see the floors need vaccumming and notice my husband who has had me to do all the domestics seemed to have his head in a flurry as he left this morning.  I have spoilt him and now he has to do it all.  But he has the short list in mind, and I remind myself its not important.

You never know what its like until it happens to you.  I was someone who thought it wouldnt, remain positive I said, and you will be fine.  My husband said "I never expected anything to happen before we turned 50!" which sums up his responses every time I said "We should get some income protection, life insurance, bla bla bla" 

5 years ago when his sister became brain injured in a cycling accident I marvelled at the results obtained for some-one who had a fabulous career, wealthy friends, and plenty of money to support the years ahead.  I recall thinking, how hard would it be if you werent wealthy, when things go wrong over night.

How did you cope? Do you remember that time between the op and the results?
