Going back to Chicago for a few days

in Infertility
As difficult as it will be to leave DH in Arizona, I have to go back to Chicago next week. First, there are some personal matters that I have to take care of in person, i.e. showing ID at the post office so our mail can be forwarded here. My grandfather is also at the very end of his life and want to see him one time while he is able to appreciate my visit (or at least I can feel good that I saw him). One of my cousins and his friend are planning to drive our car to Arizona and I have to go through what needs to be packed and what will stay/be donated.
I am leaving next Thursday and coming home on Monday evening. I know DH will be well taken care of by his father and stepmother and by the aide we have hired.
No flames, please, but I am actually looking forward to a very brief period of time when I am not care giving, will be able to see my family and maybe a friend or two and come home better able to minister to him. I am also going to schedule a meeting with my rabbi, if she has some time available. Maybe DH will be less depressed and more interactive when I come home.
One thing I am definitely not looking forward to, though, is the Chicago cold as I have become accustomed to the warmer Arizona weather.

Re: Going back to Chicago for a few days
No flames here.
I think it is so important for you to have a few days to focus on you. You have been such an amazing wife and have done everything you possibly could to help your DH during this hard time.
I'm praying for safe travels, good sleep, and some time for you to just think about you.
(((HUGS)))
No flames from me - it's good that you will have some time to yourself to get things in order and spend time with your family.
Wishing you a safe trip and YH a very speedy recovery!
No flames. Sounds like you need a break to visit your family, take care of things, and take care of yourself. It will be good for you.
I hope your husband isn't as withdrawn when you come back.
Bundle up! It's frreezing here. I hope the weather cooperates for your flights and you don't have any delays.
No flames at all Molly. It is so good for you to get some time for yourself. Pack some cute boots and you'll be just fine.
I hope you get a lot done while there and really decompress, and I hope your husband is doing better emotionally when you get home. GL hon!
No one should flame you at all! You've been through so much. You've been such an amazing wife to him. I think the break will be good for you, even though it will be hard I'm sure!
I'm keeping your family in my thoughts!
TI, IUIs, IVF = c/ps and BFNs
Oh cutie no flames from me.
everyone needs a break and you have been there day and out and you love your DH so much, you are an amazing wife.
you have to deal with things, that is the reality of all this and i hope when you get back to AZ your DH is feeling better.

It's been a long journey. TTC since 9/06. multiple IUI's and IVF's and 4 m/c's. IVF#3 = BFP, twins, induced at 34w6d due to baby b passing away (no explanation). Delivered on 35w1d, Baby A - baby girl, and Baby B - baby boy, our little angel.

Your strength amazes me. You have so much to take care of...
You are leaving your DH in good hands. No one would ever flame you for needing a break. You need it for your own mental health!
Have a safe trip and take good care of yourself.
Continued prayers for you, your DH and your grandfather.
No flames here at all!
I think you have been through an emotional rollercoaster that just keeps going, so it is okay to get away for a little bit. You need time away to regroup and when you go back to your DH you will be refreshed and time away will actually make you a better wife. You are such a strong person and I admire everything that you have done.
(((hugs)))
I know it will be hard to leave your dh, but you're right. He will be in good hands. It sounds like you really have a lot to take care of in Chicago. (I am so sorry to hear about your grandfather.) I hope you enjoy the time you get to spend with your family. You deserve it.
