You certainly do have your hands full! I don’t really know what I would do in your circumstances, but maybe Public County Social Services could help you with this situation? I know there are special day care and nurses that will come in to the home on occasion. Might also ask your dad‘s doctor.or nurse. Let him know how difficult it is for you. They should know what to do for you because you aren’t the only one that has had this issue. I’’ll say . Prayers that you will answers for assistance. Don’t give up.

@amber6520 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. It sounds like you already have a lot to deal with, and adding in caretaking for your dad is helping you reach your limit. Is there anyone to help you out? Another family member who will take on some of the responsibilities? Anyone who can give you a break? There is the old saying you cannot take care of someone else without taking care of yourself first.
