I want you to know how valuable your “thinking out loud” posts are for the rest of us. I had the morning depression today myself, then got up, got more information on classes I can take (short or long, pricey or not???), arranged to Have the carpet cleaned, etc. After a year during which my husband had 4 leg angioplasties which he leaves to me to research what’s causing the problems and disagree w the cardiologist for example, because he would rather follow his stocks (we’re not rich), I m really burned out and find it really easy to put off my own life.
Your narrative reminds me that you, and the rest of us are IN CHARGE. so thank you,and please consider doing a blog that would help even more caregivers.
