Visiting my OH has always been stressful since he has been in a Care/Nursing Home but during the last week it just reminded me of the times I used to have when he was at Home just last year.
I have been visiting every other day for 3 hours timing it to leave when he goes to have his tea, and it has always proved difficult to leave, with recriminations most of the time, but now he is so poorly some days both physically and mentally, it is making my health suffer.
It is with regret that I am going to cut my visits so I have a break for 2 days and I am only going to stay for 2 hours. I look at him and think - How can I even consider doing this when we have been married for 48 years, but I think if I do not ease up on the stress I am feeling my health is really going to suffer. I can see no Silver Lining)
