I am currently caring for my mum whilst my dad is away having a break and I cannot believe how exhausted I am already, and I am only half way through my stint. My dad and all who are full time carers deserve a medal!!
After a terrible day yesterday my mum was up and dressed at 3:30 and again at 6. I am unable to go anywhere because as soon as we arrive she wants to leave and repeatedly asks. She also constantly asks for any family member, who is not me! How emotionally wearing, I am currently feeling very isolated (and sorry for myself it seems).
I can see why people start to think about 24 hour care, I worry about how long my dad can cope and how much this is impacting on his health.
