Can some more ‘good things’ happen please? You know, to go with the bad stuff. I need a few more ‘good things coming from bad situations’ just to keep the balance even. It feels a bit lopsided at the moment.

My heart actually physically ached yesterday as Will and I drove away from Canberra, and I tried so hard not to cry in front of Will. I so want to do some of Dave’s sickness for him. Over the (very nearly) 25 years we have been married I can count on one hand the number of times Dave has been unwell (apart from the odd cold) and it’s really difficult to seeing him feeling yuk. It just seems wrong. I feel unwell relatively often, surely I could feel sick for him?

Will and I got back to Wagga around 4pm yesterday and picked up mail from both post offices and then headed home, unfortunately I forgot to pick up my new reading glasses! We went out later to do some shopping but were both tired so Wills going to get more today. Hopefully friends and family will keep feeding him occasionally 😉 mind you, he’s actually quite a good cook and I notice all his washing was up-to-date!

Dave rested most of today (apparently- I’m on the train to he airport ATM hence the slightly longer post) and had to take a couple of anti-nausea tablets. His bones are still aching, especially in his left arm. Very tired, no push ups. He said a 10 minute walk in the fresh air was helpful. Things are getting a little worse each day, but hopefully will pick up a little by day 12. That’s what we have heard is ‘normal’. If only any of this was normal.

No food pics or recipes today, just too tired and want to get back to Canberra and go to bed. Maybe I’ll wake tomorrow and find this is a bad dream. Or maybe I’ll wake feeling less exhausted with a better attitude.

I really do have lots to be thankful for, especially caring, thoughtful and loving family and friends.

ps – pic is from this morning with my cat – who was pretty pleased to see me 🙂
