Secondly, I need to read back on your blog to find out your entire story how you became a caretaker for your husband. My Dad has Alzheimer's and went into a nursing home last June. My blog, ended up becoming a chronicle of our family's experience with him. <br />Thirdly, I very much sympathize with you on the moving situation...email sometime, so we can talk further...donnab6464@gmail.com.

I feel petty when I complain about my little irritations of the day! You remind me to be thankful for what I have. I wish that I could offer more than good thoughts. I would help you if I were close by. I wonder if there is an agency that could provide you with some relief. My daughter is doing some volunteer work in MN. Some cities have volunteers that provide rides to appointments. They are paired with people that they are physically able to assist and come to your home and get them into the vehicle and wait for them at the appointment, then bring them home and get them back into your home. This seems to be your biggest stress point right now. You might ask your doctor's office or call the hospital and ask for patient services. Sometimes help is available and we simply are unaware of it. I hope that there is something like this in your area. And call Skippy, she has a good heart and will make you feel good!Kathy's Klotheslinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17881966393157941515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6542261625024857926.post-16619738249233898862010-03-18T18:34:45.753-05:002010-03-18T18:34:45.753-05:00I flipping can't believe I posted what I did y...I flipping can't believe I posted what I did yesterday, reading what you just wrote.<br /><br />I am so sorry - I think I fear this the most. The only thing I can do now is walking to the toilet [I can't bath by myself] and I don't want my family to have to take care of me. I can't imagine the frustration between you and Ron. I am really sorry.<br /><br />Please, please, please take a moment for yourself. Ron will understand and you need the time for yourself - at least to get a break.<br /><br />If you need anything or to talk [I will tell you fun wheelchair stories - which, come to think of it, you could to!] please email me and I will send you my phone number or you can send me yours.<br /><br />skippyaveoATgmailDOTcom [obviously you replace at and dot with their real counterparts :D]<br /><br />Let me know - I am always around...the chair doesn't go far and no one has installed ramps - the bastards - heeheeSkippyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479661523059481730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6542261625024857926.post-9122065406369877572010-03-18T18:13:11.367-05:002010-03-18T18:13:11.367-05:00You are entitled to have an off day once in awhile...You are entitled to have an off day once in awhile. I know very few people that can do what you are doing on a day to day basis. You need a shoulder to lean on and a big hug. <br />((((HUG)))) I wish I was closer. Hang in there sweetie. You are one tough cookie and an amazing individual.Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858158707328118375noreply@blogger.com
