Nearly 1 30, and George is done for the day.

@kaylachan ......I know, Hon. But sometimes we are so involved in our loved one's care we forget about our own needs.

@celticeagle Yeah, I know. However, George's not an invalid. He does a lot for himself. Sure, I have more things to wash, but still do laundry two-three times a week. I still do the things I'd been doing prior to his stroke. I just change how we do things like grocery shopping because I can't leave him alone right now. He's getting around much better, and we're not doing thickened liquids this weekend, so that's one less task. I do have to get with his doctor though about getting a refill on his blood thinner. But, again, ordering meds and messaging the doctor were things I'd done online on his behalf prior to his stroke. The hard part is when his afasia kicks in and I can't make sense of what he wants. Other things are just going to take a lot of patience.

Of course I am. If I don't, no one else will be.

I try to do the best I can in regards to that. It's not always easy sometimes. Not for a lack of trying. There's only so far you can go in a home.

We aren't spending a lot of time apart. When he goes to bed, then I'll take a bath or do something to relax. He will sometimes beg me to come to bed, but right now that's what I do, wind down before I join him.

Yeah, I just things are catching up to him.

Of course I do, don't worry.

I rest, but we all have those days. George took a nap this afternoon.
