Peabrain
They have gone...the in-laws have gone! phew! They are lovely and all and I really shouldn't deny them their time with Max and Doudou but gosh it was just too much. Looking after them and Doudou and Max. I have been just so exhausted and haven't been able to think straight. Max needs more and more care these days, he needs help getting dressed and putting his shoes on etc. I organise and fill his pill box now because he just can't think straight when he is on all those drugs. After seeing the palliative care Dr on Thursday he has upped his pain meds which zonks him out even more. He decided they will keep the radiotherapy up his sleeve for now and see if he can manage the pain better on the drugs. Oh we got the appointment day wrong, his appointment was meant to be on the Wednesday and not Thursday. I obviously didn't etch that date deep enough into my little brain amongst everything else that has been happening. What a peabrain and I don't even have heavy duty pain drugs as my excuse. Anyway we were lucky he could get to see another Dr.
Sunday was the first day in a long time we had nothing on, no Dr's appointments, no nurses home visits, no psychologist home visits, no lunch dates, no dinner dates, no sight seeing, no one dropping things off, no one popping over. It was just the 3 of us at home, our little family. We all stayed in our pjs all day, it was perfect!
Now all the main events are over with I need to focus on myself a little. Since giving birth I have had problems with my girly bits well the plumbing I wont go into detail just yet but I am going to see my GP tomorrow to see what the story is.
We are going away in a couple of weeks. WMRF have offered us accommodation in a holiday house up the coast for a week. How lovely is that! It is a week so the 3 of us will go up on our own for a couple of days and we have extended it to my my sister her hubby and my Mum and Dad to come up for the rest of the week. So we will have full time baby sitters....hahaha Nah just kidding but I am hoping that Max and I will get some couple time and my Mum and sister can enjoy Doudou time. I am sure that will be no problem. I can' wait, I soooo need a holiday !

I'm so glad you three are getting away for a bit. And that the house has cleared of visitors and huge social occasions. Peace, peace, peace.
Excellent news about the holiday!! I hope it's really relaxing for you. Sounds as though you've had WAY too much on your plate lately, it is enough just dealing with a new baby! Hope you get your bits & pieces sorted quickly, what a drag!
