So I've been suffering for a good few years with emet and go through periods of being in control and period of absolute terror! Tonight sadly is the latter
Me and the boyfriend moved in together for the first time about 18 months ago and tonight the first dreaded sv has occurred! Boyfriend was feeling fine when he got home, said he wasn't hungry and was tired but that's not too unusual for him. He had a nap whilst I cooked dinner - again not unusual. I woke him up when it was ready and he said he didn't want any - strange as I'd cooked his favourite. Within minutes he went and shut himself in the bathroom with d*. In there for over 30 mins he reluctantly admitted to me that he had also v*d. He's now spent about 3 hrs holed up in bathroom being ill - even made a makeshift bed out of old towels and his dressing gown for the night.
Thankfully we we have a spare room and spare bathroom so I have a sanctuary. I have had strict instructions by him to leave him well alone (I feel so bad though!!) I'm dreading the night if it carries on as the sound kills me and I feel so bad abandoning him. Once he's feeling better in this morning (min 12hrs symptom free) I'm planning on boil washing ALL soft furnishings I couldn't remove prior to event and washing EVERY surface with a strong bleach mixture. Will be also washing everything else on shelves etc with said mixture and disposing of toothbrushes. This is 1st time I've ever had to handle this myself (mum also a clean freak was SO good at this - sv's never spread to others at her house) planning on leaving him in bed all day tomorrow then boiling sheets 24hrs after symptom free. Do you see if there is anything I've missed or any other tips you can give me??? I'm sorry this is so long - I'm probably going to have less sleep than the boyfriend tonight and with a stressful and busy day due at work tomorrow I am feeling pretty close to the edge right now!!! Even rang my poor mum in tears but I'm determined to get a handle on this once and for all.
