@BlueBay. It is a very stressful time - moving house. It's hard for most people. But you are a little more fragile than most, at the moment.
Your daughter is pregnant, but that doesn't mean she and her partner can't come and help pack boxes two nights this week. No lifting for her, but put your future son in laws muscles to the test. Yes one son is studying. Thats an important time for him. But he must take regular breaks - & those breaks could include moving some filled boxes to where you need them.
Tell your family what you need. Ask them for more help.
Remember that you need regular breaks too. Take Jersey for a walk. When hubby gets too loud, go to the library and find a quiet warm corner to sit in for half an hour. Get a coffee at a cafe. Small regular half hour breaks.
Your doctor is impressed with what you have achieved already in hospital. You are moving forward. It's just very hard to see it at the moment with this extra stress. But I see it. I hear of the changes you are making.
You can do this. One step at a time. With help from family and friends. It doesn't all rest on your shoulders.
You can do it. Sending a big comforting hug to you. ♥
