Any up date on Sarah.
Also how are you bearing up...its hard trying to care for a loved one, gets very frustrating, because all you feel you can do is the huggy, kissy, want another cuppa routine and really you want to do so much more, but cant.

The reason for hospitalisation (the bleeding) appears to have been sorted, but the whole episode has increased Sarah's anxiety and she is a bit of a nervous wreck at the moment.
I have communicated her counsellor's suspicions, as well as the family's experiences of her behaviour, to the clinician who is dealing with her case and she has organised a face-to-face appointment on Tuesday. I imagine that this will result in tests which will tell us whether our suspicions are real or imagined.
It would be easy for me to whinge, and I've done so to the kids on a regular basis, but it doesn't help. But I'm fucked. Absolutely, totally 100% fucked. Last night it was obvious at 9pm that she wanted to go to bed at 9, but I didn't. However she was too frightened to go to bed on her own, so I got her settled down and read for an hour or more. Unsurprisingly she was awake at 4.45 complaining of feeling "a bit weird" (how I'm starting to hate that phrase with a passion) and so I had to spend an hour and a half playing the psychologist before she fell asleep again. Of course I didn't, and now I'm shattered.
Which just goes to show how easy it is for me to whinge, doesn't it?
But thanks for asking - I wouldn't blame you if you didn't bother in the future, but it is appreciated.

Winge on...if it helps, I know it does help to have an ear to blast at, instead of blasting at a lonely wall. We will carry on asking for updates, its one way of showing that we do care. Last but by no means least, how thhe feck do you spell Whinge / winge they are both coming up red in spell checker.

Will please feel free to come on here and have a whinge if it helps. We are all concerned about Sarah but feel helpless as there is nothing we can do except support you from afar.
I’m glad they got the bleeding sorted and wishing you massive good luck for Tuesday but it sounds like you already know what the results are going to be which doesn’t sound promising.
Rest assured we are all thinking of you both and sending hugs xx

Thanks TOM and Su. She's having a reasonable day today. Her former colleagues at Exeter had a whip round and raised quite a large amount - they must have done, because they sent her a large bouquet of flowers, in a glass vase, plus some chocs and some smellies, ALL FROM WAITROSE! It must have cost a fortune, because I've sent for a £35 bouquet from them in the past and it was a very puny collection of weedy looking blooms! So that cheered her up a bit.
