Mom had so much anxiety around him coming home that she stayed in bed with an eye mask on and listening to nature sounds. I had to take care of her as well. I got to bed late.

Today is a new day. I’m going to float today hopefully, read a good book and cook a healthy meal. This time around I’m protecting myself heavily.

I hope everyone has a peaceful weekend.

Remember that you come first. You can’t care for them if your not take care of you. Can you get some kind of nursing aid help that could do things like help him in the bath and with exercise, feed him and other things for part of the day? I worry he will be totally dependent on you.
