My main worry is, that if I get sick while Mark is away, I can't look after Stephanie real well.

I know that I have my Mum and Dad down the road, about an hours drive BUT with Dad having the MND, it's not that easy for them to just get in the car and drive up here.

The other week when I did end up at the hospital, Stephanie had to come with me in the Ambo and she had to stay with me while I was in the ER waiting room and that was more than 4 hours. Mum and Dad did come and get Stephanie, but it did take them along time to get up to the hospital, as Mum had to pack the car, etc and then it took them more than an hour to drive up to the hospital, cause they had never been to that one before and so they had to look for it.

My sister Toni could come up, but she has to bring her hubby and their son. Not that that is too much of a problem, but when I'm sick I really don't want a house full of people, if you can understand my meaning there.

I'm not saying that I want to get sick while Mark is away, but it can happen. Although last year when Mark was away for 4 months, I was able to cope ok and I didn't get sick at all then.

Anyway, I am slowly getting back on my feet. I went back to my Doctor on Friday and told him everything and he gave me some tablets to help get me to sleep. Mind you, I will only take them IF I really need them. I did take one on Friday night and last night so I could have 2 good night sleeps in a row and it has made a big difference to me mentally.

Well I might leave it at this and thank you all so very much for being such good and caring friends, hugs to you all from me, Love Kelly.
