Stressful 72 hours

[Gnomoospan]

Wow Footie we're having similar weeks! Did I say my gnome has had chicken pox this week too x

[Footiegirl]

Nightmare isn't it G'spn? Seems never ending!! Pox is horrible, Henry had it in June just after I went back to work and it was horrible.

Hubbie came home friday afternoon but is still very weak and has to take so many painkillers he is like a

Footie, I don't think there is anything wrong with you getting signed off work for a week. As if the tiredness and stress weren't enough while you're worrying and caring for Henry and hubby for you to be in pain too is no good. Take care of yourself and don't feel guilty. Big

Get yourself signed off NOW! You need to be getting yourself rested and then and only then can u look after Henry and David ( and bump!) Do not feel guilty, you need to be safe and healthy first.

[Footiegirl]

Ah thanks. Sorry about last post, just reread it! Have had a better nights sleep and feel much better! I did go to the drs today tho and got signed off for 2 weeks, so will rest when Henrys napping and at nursery. Hopefully all on the mend now

G'span, how are you and yours now? xx

[Gnomoospan]

We're fine compared to you lot! Gnome is pretty clear of pox now, waiting for middle one to produce spots, maybe he won't.Still don't know what is wrong with OH, specialist appt next week. Hope you catch up on some rest now. xx

[ruby_tuesday]

I haven't managed to get to the site for a while, so have only just read your post.

What a terrible time you've been having, I really hope you all start to feel better soon, you should be resting not stressing! Definitely take it easy for the next two weeks and if you can get signed off for longer do!
