Hi Scott, I so admire anyone who can and will subjugate their self to care for another. I have been disabled for 6 years, but primarily I can not work or drive and sometimes have issues with decision making. Just these limitations put an extra burden on my wife as she is an elementary school guidance counselor and after completion of one more 8 week class will begin working on her dissertation for her EdD. She amazes me with her ability to stay positive and except when she had the flu over the past week rarely ever appears to be "at her wit's end" where I am concerned. What you did, for the period of time both your wife and you had to suffer is so very commendable. Thanks for helping others who are doing the same thing every day and I hope you are able to catch up with your kids and grandkids as much as possible. Gary

Thanks @gman007 I appreciate the kind words and support! Indeed, all I can say about caregiving is love is an incredible motivator and can often lead us places we never knew we could go!

I am doing just want you say --- catching up with our children and The Grands right now and having a very good time doing it! Being on their turf for a few weeks is a good way to mend my soul! Plus our daughter even came down from Chicago to join us all for a mini-family reunion of sorts, going across the state to spread some of my wife's ashes in the fourth of the five spots she wanted. All five are shorelines so we get a bonus of seeing some very nice spots too.

Best of luck to you and your wife as well!
