Sometimes Words Really Arent Enough

This is our new car. We picked it up yesterday. We've had a couple of rides in it already and it made Matthews day to be picked up from school.

Yesterday was a health day. Hubby had a hospital appointment regarding his diabetes. He likes this hospital as they give him choices as well as information. They want to work with him rather than tell him what to do. He said he wasn't getting on great with one of the forms of insulin he takes and they agreed. They told him forthright that a lot of people don't get on well and for that reason they are looking to stop handing it out overall. He's got a food diary to keep once again and he is confident with their care.

I spent half the afternoon with a migraine and feeling really really sick. It was smear test day and I was dreading it. But as soon as it was done I felt good. I was really terrified yesterday. I will hear the results back in a couple of weeks. I explained to my nurse I was more nervous than normal about the tests, the results and everything but she was lovely. I felt better being able to talk about it a little. She did say it depended on cells, but my cervix looked very healthy and that they had done a good job when the gave me the lletz treatment back in July. That feels so long ago now.

Last night we took the car on a journey to my mums and called in on my family. My brother, his fiancee and her daughter were there. We discovered at christmas she was pregnant and due their baby in August. This week she's had a miscarriage at 9 weeks pregnant. I feel so bad for them right now. This is the second miscarriage they have had in 6 months. She had pain and bleeding and it was confirmed by scan today that we will not be getting a new baby in the family this summer. I know there's nothing I can do or say to help and that makes me feel worse. I just need to give them some privacy.

  1. I'm so sorry to hear of her loss. I read somewhere about women who miscarry, that every woman is different. Some want to talk about it, some want to pretend the pregnancy never happened. Maybe you could ask her if she wants to talk about it, and being a receptive ear might be all she wants. My best to her, and to the whole family.
