I am sorry you are a caregiver again. Seems like there is always that someone in the family who takes care of whoever is sick. It sounds like you are that someone. Does your family help you, besides talking to you? Everyone in our families are working or live in another state, except my husband’s sister, who never visited him in the hospital and rarely calls.
I am glad you have friends where you live to talk to. We are also in a 55+ facility but most people here have their own health issues and I don’t want to burden them with mine. This website is where I vent and tell my feelings to. I always get good advice, lots of hugs and likes. They understand what I am going through and I love them all for helping me.
Thank you for your concern and support.

You are so sweet. That gave me goosebumps. Thank you very much. We live in Oro Valley, AZ.
Love it here!

I'm sorry, I didn't answer your questions. My husband's family lives in different states. Texas and Washington . They are in terrible physical shape and weren't any help 25 years ago with their parents, when they could have helped. One is 4 years younger than us and the other is 18 years younger. We won't even mention his brother!
I'm with you as so glad that I discovered this website. I use this group and the ostomy group since I came home from our vacation with my new attachment.
By the way, I'm almost 82! Yikes
