I AM so grateful.

I have been so incredibly poorly this week. I really thought that I would have to deal with the children the whole time I was ill but as luck would have it my operation was cancelled and my in-laws didn’t make other plans so whilst I was in bed from Tuesday to Friday, they were being looked after.

Now though, the kids only want to see daddy and nanny, mummy is no longer good enough, especially when picking them up from school.

It all started Monday evening, I had started to feel a cold coming on, the aches and pains. The night was a painful sleep, I was hurting. My organs felt like they were about to burst and my bones hurt.

It was so bad that I had to call 111. It felt like when I had sepsis. A doctor called and we went through all the details saying I had a temperature at its lowest of 40.2 after paracetamol, he determined that I had an infection and prescribed an antibiotic.

After a day, I felt a little better however was still worried, so went to see a doctor who told me I had two infections. So plenty of bed rest, pain killers and I continued taking medicine.

There’s not a lot that will keep me in bed, I hate it, once I’m awake that’s it I’m up, it can be 3am and I’m done.

So spending four whole days in bed means it was something. I hate nothing more than being stagnant and not being able to do anything. I cannot stand not being able to go for a walk and get some much needed fresh air, and I hate not being able to physically do anything.

This is why I am so grateful. My husband is amazing. I asked him to take the day off Tuesday and he did, he took care of me. Not only that but he cleaned the kitchen, took kids to school and cooked them tea. He kept filling up the water bottle, bringing me hot drinks, reminding me to take meds and leaving me when I was asleep.

He is the best and I feel so guilty he had to take that day off just for me. He works for himself you see and is the best in the business. He does paintless dent removal and previously worked for a dent company who worked him to the bone. I told him he should go self employed, that was almost a decade ago.

This is how good he is, he’s never once advertised. All of his business is through word of mouth. Everyone that has dealt with him say the same. He’s professional, kind, courteous, meticulous, very reasonable priced and dedicated to the vehicle and the person/garage he is working for at that time.

Trust me, if you are an individual or a garage with a car/cars that need a dent out of it, he is the person to call. He’s amazing. I’m not just saying that because he’s my husband either, everyone else says the same.

His Facebook page is MW dent removal. Give him a message and see what he can do for you, if not then just have the pleasure of meeting and talking to him, he’s one of those people who talks to everyone about anything.

I wish I had that skill. I am forever grateful for him and everyday I know how lucky I am, I will be sure to get mum some flowers as a thank you.

This is all happening again in February though, I have my date through for the operation and feel guilty again. For my husband, mum and dad and the kids. I miss out on them again. Constant guilt. That’s not just mum life, that’s adult life it seems.
