it was hurtin my daughters back too , i told them from now on dad stays in bed , even tho he rather go to toilet . sorry its not happening again .
my husband is furoise and lookin out for my best intrest too , sometimes i think he is selfish too . i do give him my attentions , am always with him when he gets home from work . i dont know , its just all mess up emotional ,
in fact i think he is on his way out , i was readin the one; my mom is dying ;, they way she described her mother well that sounds like my dad right now . he is gone downhill again ,
think afterthanksgivin i will call home health nurse to come out ...
i told my husband today that theres a reason for everything . god knows dad needs to be here with me .
reba , i think you need a break , your body is telling you that you need to rest and take care of yourself .
from march to now i think i read that is what you have been doing for so long is takin care of elders . if i am right , you need to take a vacation and get away . if you could ??
i am 47 yrs old and i feel so bad for a nieghbor of mine , she is in her 80 s and her husband is 86 , he s been in and out of hospital and is back home . i thought oh mygosh !! how is that old lady gonna take care of him ! hes worst than my dad . i feel so bad forher but i can see cars down there and i know shes getting help ..
i am tired too reba and im only 47. i told my husband that when all this is over , im taking me a road trip ! taking my sister in law and go traveling out west !! it sounds so good , and im looking forward to it ,
you need to get away my friend ..
I am trying to find a way to have a couple of days to myself, but guess what? I feel guilty for even thinking that. He is so sweet about everything and if he thinks he is the one who has upset me then he says he is sorry. I tell him it isn't his fault but mine and that I am just tired.
He turned on two burners and there was an empty pan on the stove. Just thankful nothing bad happened. We are going to put up a half door with a lock.
I am going into the doctors because everything I eat I lose it. This has gone on for a week and I don't know what is causing it. Maybe stress do you think? Well I thought I had myself under control but looks like I don't. I don't want to put him in a home because I think he would go down faster. What an awful disease, it belongs in hell where it came from.
Glad you guys are there so I can let off some steam. God bless you and thanks for being there.
Thanks for sharing your story. So sorry you are struggling with the stress and physical problems. Please keep us posted after you've seen your physician. And if possible, please try to get some help for you caring for your dad. God bless you, Reba.

if i could i would come and take a load off your shoulders , bless your heart .
i be praying for you , you take care ! throw some make up on ur face and say ahhh i feel better and smile a bunch ok ....
We all have to do our part in taking care of a sick mate. That is what the bible tells us. Did you know it says if we don't take care of our family, we are worse than an unbeliver. God knows what we are going through but I think of what He went through for us. Nothing is a bad as that. But hang in there and you will be bless knowing you did the right thing.
he picked his forhead and said wheres johnny ?? (his son , my brother was burnt up in a camper fire 2 yrs ago ) , i quickly told him i smell stinky poo here . so i changed him while he laid there listing to his fav pasty cline music.
today i took him to dr for blood work an doc wanted his stool samples . think maybe bacteria ?? cuz he keeps having the runs .
went to cvs to get some antibodi my husband staye din the van with him while they ate mcdonald food .
on the way home dad said linda u left 2 people behind waaaa .. i said ugh i didnt leave anybody behind dad . he said yes u did . i ha dto tell him that those 2 poeple has a car theyre going home now .. .
man that made me more sad , i babysat 2 of my granddaughters today 3 and 4 yrs old girls . im glad i did cuz it help me to be happy and to keep me going .
i am now starting to see dad that is going downhill more and how his mind is .
REBA , hope ure doing ok . i be praying for u girl ! i do think of u everyday , youre my angel ... happy holiday to all of you .
Yes it is sad when they ask about someone. Life can be hard to handle at times. All of my sisters and brothers are gone except for one sister and she is 83. The holidays are hard to handle too. I must say I will be glad when they are over.
I wish I had little ones around but doesn't look like the grand kids are not going to give me any great grand children. But the way the world is maybe that is good.
Well off to watch a movie and I am hoping I can fall asleep soon. I wish all you a very Merry Christmas. One good thing about Christmas is, it's a celabration of our Lord's birth and it makes me think of what He did for us on the cross. Thank you Lord Jesus.
