Still Recovering

January 3rd, 2014 at 08:59 pm

It's been one week since my last entry. I ended up spending the night in hospital on 30/12. I was home early evening the next day. This time it wasn't as serious though. For those of you who have ever been unlucky enough to have a catheter, I still have mine. This happened before with SG only not so early on in the pregnancy.

When I came home, I felt better so I tried to help hubby with little household tasks like tidying up the livingroom. It was too much for me and I was in pain the rest of the night. My biggest accomplishment so far has been getting my own juice and snack from the kitchen (hubby was putting SG down for her nap)

The doctor gave me a sick line for four weeks off work, so I'm one week into that. I also have a week unpaid before I had the sick line. Also, hubby has phoned in sick too to help me. I think I will be off for more than four weeks though.

For the first time in over a year, I will only be paying the minimum to credit cards. I hate to do this but it's only short term.

We still have high street vouchers left that we saved for Christmas. They can be used in a store, Iceland, that offers free delivery when you spend £25 or more. Hubby will go there soon and that should last us a few weeks and fill up our freezer.

Hubby has been doing everything. I've been offering advice about cooking on the sidelines, I had to because he made his first roast dinner. Other than that, I spend my days on the couch or napping in bed. I only just checked Swagbucks today but I didn't have the energy to try to reach the goal.

I have not even thought about my goals for this year. Although, right now, my goal is just to get through January and February. I thought Oct 2013 was tough, I know this will be worse.

    Your health and getting better are the most important goals now. Rest is so important. Finances can wait.

    I was sent home with a catheter after my last surgery, and it was awful. I hope you are released from it soon!

    I echo the hope you recover soon and best wishes of the rest. I know you feel bad about the c/card mins, but the fact you are still mindful of your finances while feeling so poorly shows your financial attitude is still good, it just needs a breather while you get better.
