What do I do?
I have 50/50 custody with ex.
I am meant to be taking them on Friday at 3pm but I am currently in hospital waiting on swelling to go down so that I can have an operation.
I don't have family.... Asked ex to please keep kids for one extra night as I don't know what state I will be in or if I will even be out.
His words, your problem not mine sort something out.
What do I do?
My nanny is away plus I cannot afford a lot at moment...
No parents and I don't want to start begging friends to take my kids ...
I am on endone and struggling to look after me....
Help please

Ask the hospital nurses to organise a social worker to speak to you. Thats what social workers are for. They can get it sorted real quick.
But personally I'd prefer to ask a friend than have my kids put in care.
Asking for help is not begging, you may find one of your friends would love to have them. If not then sure, go with the social worker but I'd always give friends first dibs.
If this were one of my friends, i wouldn't in the slightest hesitate helping you. I'm sure your friends would do the exact same. Absolutely no shame in asking for help. Your ex sounds like a douche!
What a great dad! I hope you have managed to sort it out. I'm sure friends would help out, but I understand it's hard asking for help.
