A bit gutted (rant!)
I'm just so frustrated! My hubby is a welder and he lost his job back in Sept,there is hardly any work out there at the moment so we've been scraping by on benefits since then. It's been very hard,especially with 2 kids already! My mum and nan have helped out a lot,buying food and bits for the kids but so far we are managing. Last Monday hubby had a call from the agency that used to get him work saying that a few new jobs were coming in at the end of the week and to phone them then. Thank God! No more scraping by and feeling like a bum,the future is bright again etc etc....but on Weds hubby slipped on ice and twisted his knee quite badly,we went to A&E where they diagnosed sprained ligaments,they gave him crutches and a physio app for Tues. So he phoned the agency and said that he couldn't start for an extra fortnight which was ok.
But yesterday we had a call from the hospital to say that his x-ray had been looked at by the radiologist and there is a "suspicious" line,which is possibly a fracture. He needs to have a knee screening rather than physio now on Tuesday. I'm so gutted,we've got the scan on Friday so wanted to tell family on the weekend. But if it IS broken I know that rather than congratulating us they will be concerned that we can't afford it. I've kept quiet about this pg for so long now,knowing that by now the situation would have improved,but literally two days before it does this happens. Obviously that means that he may not be able to return to work for another 6 weeks,assuming the jobs haven't all been snapped up!
All I wanted was for people to be happy for us but I can't see it at the mo....Fate is a bitch! Sorry,just a rant,had to get it off my chest!

I did laugh though because I'm really really useless at ironing,so I fold all the clothes when they are wet so they are flat and my mum said,well,you'll HAVE to learn to iron now you'll have 3 kids!! Twisted logic me thinks....xx
Sorry to hear about you having a crap time at the mo! Good luck, you should hope it is broken not sprained, a break heals quicker!!
