Thank you so much everybody for you supportive posts. I really appreciate it.
I will try to put into practice the great advice you have given me.
I am working very hard to rebuild muscles so that I might be able to walk again soon. I'm looking to get third, forth opinions on my eyesight as nobody so far seems to be able to understand what is causing my visual disturbance. I have had surgery for bilateral cochlear implants which will be 'switched on' in the next week or two...hopefully they will restore some of my hearing. It is a lonely world when you cannot hear anything! So I'm trying to do everything I can to get back to some sort of 'normal'...
I am still on a high dose of anti-depressant but I do not feel that they make much of a difference as I am so low in spirits most of the time.
Yes, I have real trouble coming to terms with the fact that my husband has no empathy for me anymore...he used to have so much! Two hours after I had been told that my hearing was gone forever...husband came and told me "well this is your new reality, you need to decide how you are going to deal with it!" I was still crying because I wasn't going to hear my children's voices again, music, speak on the phone to my friends....I didn't need the reality pill...I needed someone to hold me and tell me it would all be ok!
I am so happy to be out of hospital after three months. It is bitter sweet to be home though as there are so many happy memories here. Also I know husband will want to sell our home soon and I love it so much as does the kids....so knowing it is only for a short period makes me sad. I always thought our grandchildren would be running around our garden
It's all very overwhelming at the moment. I think it is the legal stuff that is pushing me over the edge...to try to focus on the right course of action when it comes to splitting our assets is just too much right now! And I only have a few weeks before it has to be settled...
I am truly grateful for being alive as it was very touch and go while I was in a coma over Christmas. I am also very grateful for my beautiful children and extended family (including husband's who have been amazing) and I'm also so grateful for my wonderful friends who have been there for me all of last year and continue to be...I wish I could make everybody happy by just being happy:)
Please take care of yourself. It's one step at a time, one day at a time. Okay?

Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
