When you are sick...

...who looks after you???

I have the flu and a sinus infection on top of that. Dh is stuck at camp today, but hopefully coming home soon. And I don't really know anyone here to help me out either.

...do you eat food??

I am so hungry but the thought of food makes me even more sick (which isn't that great for the boys who want feeding). I am drinking Vita Quench as that is the only thing my stomach can handle, and i'm not drinking very much of that, about 3/4's of a 750ml bottle a day.

DH took 1.5 days off last week to look after me. I have had a respitory infection and given that I have sever asthma, I cant afford to muck around too much. I am a lot better now, but still coughing like a pack a day smoker!

I dont have anyone that can help out really either, my mum loves close but works fulltime, and my brother doesnt drive so coudlnt get to me (and he is a SAHD to a 3 yr old!)

WOw im exactly the same but b'cos I had chest infectiona and still had to work ended up with pneumonia 2 weeks ago and ended up on Ab's for 17days along with asthma meds. arghhhh

About a month ago I had a tummy bug and I had put my neck out, so I was basically incapacitated. My DH was working out of town for two days so I couldn't get any help from him. So I struggled on my own feeling very sorry for myself as I took care of my 10kg + immobile Daughter. But in hindsight, I realise that I could have called on my Mum or MIL and they would have helped without question, I think it was my stupid pride that stopped me from asking!

Me! I have to look after myself, last time I was sick and DH stayed home to look after me he just sat on the computer all day and i ended up having to make him lunch If I'm really sick I will get the MIL to look after the girls or just send my oldest to her aunties next door. Oh how I miss the days where it used to be nice to be sick and you could lie in bed all day being waited on hand and foot

I look after myself most of the time, if it's a weekend I stay in bed. If I ask for help I get it. DH will take time off work to look after me or "work" from home.

And DH will buy me anything I feel like eating at the time.

What she said! If I don't run the house it falls apart, I can't afford to get sick!

Altho my friends were great thru months of me being incapacitated with hyperemesis.
