Hi, I had to call the doctor out yesterday, I now have a bad chest infection and she has put me on steroids. Really peaved off now, haven't even rang the hospital for my husband yet, he needs to know when he will have his operation(severe spinal probs.) And trying to get my two girls to help out is a battle, my home is in a mess.

Sorry everyone, just needed to off load, hope you dont mind, just had enough at the moment.

sorry karenxx

    Steroids are lovely things in my book - they do pick me up, they do make me 'feel' better, they do give me the illusion that I can manage and that things are not that bad. Try not to be on them for too tho long, as they are not good for one long-term. When I first started them I was given a dose of 20mgs for five days, then I reduced by 5 mgs every five days. I don't know how old your girls are but if over ten years then they need to have their ideas woken up I wish you well and I hope you soon feel better. DD

    Morning Karen
    Sorry that you seem to be having a bit of a rough time at the moment.
    I hope the steroids help and that the chest infection clears quickly.
    Hope all things improve soon
    Take care and look after yourself

    Hi karen

    At least your steroids should help you soon.

    I hope then you will find the time and strength to make the calls you ned to and to get the kids to pick up after themselves!!! I have three and totally get that :roll:

    I shout all the time to no avail :oops:

    Love

    Hi Karen,
    gosh its bad enough with just me being off colour with out my OH as well, my children do a great deal for me and i have to remember at times just how much they do. Some days the house isnt as i would like but thats just the way it is. I just try to tidy kitchen and living room and keep barely ontop of washing etc, my eldest is 13 and my youngest is 5, on a wed every one gets a job to do, hoover, dust etc and then they get pocket money. Have a word with your children and ask for a bit more help when you need it.
    Every one needs a moan sometimes and ive probably done over my fair share since i joined the forum!
    Wishing you and your OH best wishes.
