I know there has been lots of information about this but am not sure how to find it. My husband has AZ and has been in a home for 6 months. He does not qualify for free care because we are self funding, however he has recently had several falls, and now has a serious head injury.

I am absolutely fed up and just realized I never applied for this job or had an interview so how did I get this job? No tea break or dinner break very long hours very poor pay no light at the end of the tunnel but we still keep going and with very little reward except looking after the one we love who does not always know how much we do for them.Moan over and off to do some more cleaning in the bathroom. Shelah.

I haven't had my computer very long and this is all very different - so please be patient if I take time to reply - I may be waiting for assistance from one of my grandson's ...
