Well, after my last post, my husband has been seen twice by the Doctor and was admitted to hospital (for hydration through a drip and tests). He's still not well (post just interupted by him vomitting again - no food yet - just his medication and a mouthful of Powerade!!!), but he knows it at least and isn't going to be at work for a bit yet. He posted just last week about wanting to lose 8kgs or so before September...it's not a healthy way of doing it, but I think he's probably already close to that.

Having Frank sick makes me realise how hard it must be to be sick when you don't have family/friends around, or if you're a solo Mum or something. Marriage, in my view isn't an 'institution', but one of the closest forms of 'community' living, where we can help each other when we need physical, emotional, spiritual support etc. Thanks also to the cession community who have given texts/flowers/visits/offers of support also - it's awesome to be in amongst caring people.
