Baby stirs besisde me, it has been every hour, this night of feeds. He is restless again, insatable. I swing my hand back behind me and it feels only emptiness. Wayne has gone again, girls bedroom. I am sure. But .... maybe this time he Just kept going, to beyond this time, to escape this anguish. I would. If I could escape myself.
An hour later I wake again. Wayne is making coffee, it is 5.30. To work, to work. I feel his soft kiss before I here the car leave. Baby wakes, its time. I reach for a cloth nappy on the change table beside me to mop the sweat from me. The cloth nappies I use as hankies, to expel the never ending mucus. I don't have the energy to use them as they were intended. Not any more. It's all gone to shit.
I rise from bed. He wakes happy. He always wakes happy. Not a grump, not one little bit. Has to get up and go and see and do. Not a snuggler in bed. I lift him up and the ache in my ribs is stabbing at my chest. Its so hard to hold him. But I do. He's beautiful. Our son. So beautiful.
Another Night, of endless coughing, to face a another day of endless coughing. I am caught. I can't seem to wave my arms, and say, I am suffocating here, I cant breathe. I am drowning.

Here is more info on the TB story.
Every now and then I will share these moments in time, of our story.
( In between I will still be posting photos, and hopefully drawings and other less intense things.) Sorry.
To all around me at this time, these were very internal thoughts, and I know everyone of you think you could of done something more. But No, we tried, and hindsight is dangerous. You did, all you could. I am thankful and grateful for all that everyone did for my recovery. Especially Wayne. Who returned home everyday. To endure my coughing again and again.
Hindsight is, indeed, a dangerous road. Bless you and your beautiful family.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow, fourteen beautiful years every day a bonus. Just dreaming my dreams with you.

I am in awe after reading your story? How can something like this happen nowadays? Yes, I know, it can! I am so sorry that you had do suffer all this pain and all this uncertainty about what is going on with you! And I am so glad you are better! I wish you all the best from my heart, only good things for you and your family! And I will learn - again - from your experience. We never should take a physicians opinion for granted, we should always search for the exact diagnosis and not give up till it is found. I had column cancer many years ago - my family doctor did not recognize it for more than half a year - she treated me for constipation... I was pregnant and lost the baby... In the end it was discovered, I had an operation and after that many months of radiation - I live, but the price I had to pay and still pay is high, radiation does not only kill the bad cells. If I had insisted more, if I had gone to another doctor... six months is a lot when you have cancer, it could have been detected six months earlier...
ReplyDeleteI am thankful for my recovery - and for yours! Many dear regards! :-)
