Saying a prayer for you and your husband. I too am the caregiver for my life partner who is 83 so I do understand your situation a little bit. I do have family and a neighbor that have been so helpful with meals and support. I had my surgery September 11 and am doing really well except for the fatigue. See the oncologist this week for chemo advice.
Beautiful picture, @bonnieb81 I hope you'll add it to your profile. Here's how to update your profile: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/page/about-connect/newsfeed-post/how-to-update-your-profile/
I'm so sorry to hear that you have multiple health issues to manage and the increasing caregiver duties for your husband. You're not alone. You might wish to also become a member of the Caregivers: Dementia group to get support from others. Click here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/caregivers-dementia/
I strongly encourage you to contact Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville again. Here's the number: http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63
You can self-refer or ask your doctor for a referral.
