I don't really know how to start this but here I go. My husband had a catheter removed in a hospital I didn't know existed let alone been to. My daughter graduated high school and was also diagnosed as inattentive ADHD all within a week. Phew.
She was in NZ at the time her dad fell sick and I didn't have the heart to tell her over the phone so when she came home I had to tell her in the garage. She took it really well.
Because I was focused on his recovery I wasn't able to unpack her diagnosis properly but credit to her she completely understood. Even helped me out with some stuff around the house.
She's now on different meds that so far are working. She's still my forward thinking, intelligent, compassionate, well mannered, funny, cyclonic, messy baby girl and always will be.
It's been a crazy month.
Ps. Don't worry. I'm showered with love and support from them both. I truly am a lucky lady.
Woof, definitely a lot going on for you of late!! Glad to hear you're getting lots of love and support while doling it out to them! Hopefully some peace and calm for you three soon!
We have big plans for boxing day when she'll be spending it with her friend away from the house. Lol.
Thatβs an awful lot to happen in a short space of time. Hope you, husband and daughter are doing as well as can be. Stress can sometimes hit you after the fact, so look after yourself this Xmas and new year!
Right now life couldn't be better. It's certainly gonna be a merry Christmas for me.
Wow, it's the time of year where everything seems to happen at once! Luckily you're a strong and rational cool-headed person who can deal π
It was a very surreal moment in time. I told myself this is not about me and I got on with what I needed to do. Then I had time to myself to decompress. Many many long baths helped with this.
Hugs to you all.
Thanks friend. I do β€οΈ hugs.
Thatβs a lot in a short time, Iβm glad everything is ok now
It was!
Thank you.
Woah. Hugs
Thanks.
