Dear Margaret.

Sorry to hear that you are having a difficult time with Bill. You must try to take time for yourself and rest in between caring for him. I know that it is very stressful taking care of a family member who needs a lot of care. Hopefully you can get some help from Social Services and if things are not going well you should discuss with the supervisor to see what kind of help they can provide for him in your home. Do they provide any physical therapy and does he have a walker to help him ambulate most steadily on his feet? Does his primary doctor often any suggestions? It is very difficult when one has to decide what is best for both the patient and the caregiver. You should discuss and share your concerns with your family members.

My thoughts are with you.

Take care,

Phyllis

Hope things start to look up soon for you and Bill :)
Remember that you need taking care of sometimes too and get as much rest as possible.
Social Services should be ashamed of themselves!
