Thankyou Sue
I really appreciate you taking the time to reply to my post. I hope you and your husband are well and that lockdown is going ok.
Your comments have reassured me that I have made the right choice for my husbands wellbeing. I don’t feel so bad now that I hear your husband has felt the same. I have been torn between my duty to the people I care for and my home situation. I don’t think people realise the complications there are when a loved one has Myeloma and I can sometimes feel that work colleagues, neighbours and others think it can’t be that bad. I think the NHS shielding letter brought home the reality and the risks when you are living with Myeloma. My husband is relieved that I am at home but also he feels sad that I have had to stop doing the job that I love at one of the most crucial times for our NHS and social care. I really feel for my husband as he blames himself that things can’t be simpler.
We will all need to get used to the new normal as the politicians keep saying.
Take Care Sue, looking forward to better times soon.
Wishing you all the very best.
Margaret
