Morning

 

[Ladies-Eight]

Ladies-Eight, being a caregiver is not an easy job. In addition to the extra work, it's very stressful. That combination can wear a person out. Be sure to take a little time for yourself, and to de-stress when you can.

That message is the same one I gave families when I was working as a MDS coordinator in a Health Care Facility.

It is hard to hold my tongue at times.

I get out of the house at least every two weeks to do for myself.

I also take time to sit in the coop with my chickens which is very calming for me.

Thanks for the advice.

 

[Ladies-Eight]

Sorry to hear your husband is so unwell at the minute, I’m sure the stress of that doesn’t help your exhaustion.

You’re only human too, at the end of the day. I hope you get a chance today to relax and sit in the quiet and rest your thoughts. Sending healing vibes to your whole house, fingers crossed your husband recovers quickly

Thanks.

Still a few minutes left in the morning here so good morning all!

@Ladies-Eight all I can say is to you.

I was care giver for my parents for almost 20 years so I also know what you are going through. I'm so sorry your dear husband is going through this. Somebody asked me once to give them advice about being a caregiver to a family member and I said yes, it's one of the most rewarding and at the same time the most heartbreaking gifts of love you will ever undertake. I also advise them to have a good support system available which I didn't have. It took a toll on me both physically and emotionally.

I'm sure you know to be careful with the clonidine. It has a history of making people dizzy, especially when standing up so be alert to fall potential. Neither of you need a broken bone.

I am very tired.

I am the care giver to my husband 24/7 and that will drain you.

I am having a break as he is in the hospital at this time.

Is he ok?
