Thanks lads! Just spilling a few tears over a JD and Coke because I've held them back for 3 days and nights from the missus to keep her strong. If she'd seen me well up she'd have lost it but she was an absolute hero throughout - her pain threshold is unbelievable, refused every pain relief offered until we decided she and the baby had gone through enough. Ended up having all on offer in the end for the sake of the baby. Absolute hero she is, sobbing as I type this and thank you all really! I know it's just a private thread on a forum full of plumbers I've never met but your kind words have helped so much during this journey.
Crying my effing heart out right now due to [equally] fatigue and joy. Feels good though, off to give my swollen ankles a rest now, thanks ever so much!
