chris20, I think I may be 2 steps ahead of where you are. I started my day off just like you. By dinner I was throwing half of my meal away. I’m an epileptic and could sense that I wasn’t in perfect control of my condition. I called my stepson, who’s a teacher, and asked if he could stay with his dad for a week. I am enjoying time alone about 2 hours away from home. I am taking time to care for ME! I have found my laughter, my appetite, and myself again. I was so tense without knowing it that my muscles cramped as I relaxed. Today is Day 3. I’m loving this and will go home a much more peaceful and loving caregiver.
