So, I'm back in the ED with my husband, Jeffrey. Never sure whether to post or not -- he is here so often. Admission after admission; occasionally someone will check in on us, but typically not. Family and "friends" not around. Very few call him to say "hello" or find a time to visit, despite us moving to NC so he could be closer. Been part of the reason for lack of posts. |
We've just been handling the episodic hospitalizations quietly on our own. It's interesting to see our Cousin Dan share his amazing story of caregiving in the setting of Alzheimer's. So much of what he says I can identify with -- chronic illness is a messy, horrible thing. Especially when you know things will only get worse. The worry, stress, concern, anger, disappointment... is this what I signed up for???
The entire gamut of emotions on top of the fatigue can be daunting. And even harder when your best friend - the person you'd like to rely on for comfort/strength - is the one who is sick.
Just remember to take care of yourself.
