Before I become a caregiver I use to help out my neighbor, I would just go sit with her husband for a couple of hours for her to get out, do you have a family member or friend that would help? Also try some online support groups such as Family caregiver alliance, there are also a lot of online classes for relaxation such as art, drawing, yoga they could give you some relief. I hope this helps 🤗

@akela09 I appreciate that you cared enough that you responded to my post.
No. No family member would do it, give some time for me to get out and enjoy some time somewhere, else. They are busy doing their own thing. I doubt they would even think that I might like to . But, when I was in the hospital, myself, they came and took care of things, so I know I can count on that.
