Hi Taxi

Yep, I'm with you and Hypno on the Indian - of course you can't keep to strict dfw when crises like this happen. Hot baths and laziness are the order of the day today, absolutely, possibly with a little pottering drive in the car, that exhaustion is telling you what you need to do. Lots of hugs.

Karmacat

Crossposting! Just wishing you all the best.

Thanks Karma you snuck in as well there...I feel guilty feeling like this though as afterall it wasn't me in the accident it was poor DH...I feel quite tearful today for some reason as well.

You are bound to feel like this taxi - it is a very emotional thing that is going on - Just because you weren't in the car doesn't mean that you won't be "hurting" in some way.

Emotion is a very powerful tool that our bodies use to tell us that things are happening....we need to listen and take notice, otherwise the emotion keeps "talking" until we drop down with exhaustion from having tried to fight it all the time.

Thnaks Hypno...you are right....I only had 2 hours sleep in 48 hours the other day and when I've been to bed since I think I have slept but my mind hasn't shut down..I'm going to make a brew ..put the washing in the dryer and put another load in and just lie on the sofa for an hour I think...maybe I will doze off..if not I'm relaxing.

Morning Taxi. You and OH are right to be having a quiet day. Hope he starts to feel better and you get used to the new car. Don't worry about getting back to work too quickly, you can catch up when you're both recovered and if it slows your DFW progress, well that just gives the rest of us a chance to catch up! Seriously, you should get compensation for lost earnings, so OH should stay off work as long as he needs.

Oh taxi.... do take care of yourself.... I'm glad you're going to lie down. Sounds like you really need it.

Thanks Seax....I keep telling him to stay off but if he doesn't listen what can I do?...he is one of these that needs to find out for himself that he can't do his job so all I can do if he insists is let him go and if he can't do it he will come home...I don't think he can do it!!!....
We are well covered in the short term as I have a £5k overdraft available.If I wasn't so exhausted I would take the cab out tonight and then he can't drive it...am going to get myself a brew now and try and chill out....have a good day x

I think you definitely need to rest as well. Have you any herbal sleep remedy tablets? Perhaps take one or go to bed with a hot water bottle, sounds daft but it always relaxes me.
You are right to tell him not to worry, as bills can wait...health first. An overdraft is a good way of trying to persuade him to take it easy, and hide the keys then he can't go out.
I am sure over the next few days, he will feel better about it all, and perhaps later it will do him good to talk to someone, not one of those ...here lets sue the backside off em councilors, but someone who listens and will help him and you get over the trauma of it.
Wishing you a peaceful day. BOB X
