The VA said they would pay for him to go to elder day care. I have never been to one of these places and can't imagine what it's like. He needs incontinence care every three hours. He frail, weak and tires easily. At a daycare, I don't imagine they have beds. Plus, I think he woukd miss his TV. But I shoukd visit a daycare to see what it's like.

He has some home attendant service. These home attendants aren't nurses' aids. They;re not experienced in hands on care.

Last year, he was in a nursing home for 3 months. He feel there a number of times. He developed a pressure sore. No falks or sores, since I've been caring for him at home.

I'm sick this morning. He's watching TV, while I lie in bed. I'm waiting for some pain pills to kick in. I feel less depressed this morning, but it keeps coming back. So I don't expect to have much of a day.
