Rosemary, thank you! I will read all the info for sure! My fiancé does live with me know, no way he could be alone! I go, arrange, do all the talking, meds, and daily care for him. Everything! We went from sweet intimacy to me having to change his diaper all within two weeks! He is doing better now, MELD score from 38 to 22! But he does nothing for himself, which he could! He does it for OT and PT, but not for me! I’m a retired RN, and aware of what my expectations of a good caregiver is, and I am a very good one. But no help from his family, no help or gratitude from him. It’s frustrating and wearing me out. But he has absolutely no one else. It puts a lot of pressure on me when I’m very sick myself.
