Don't think I can do it

There has been a little delay as I am waiting for our PCP to fill out her side of the health questioniare and it's taking a little longer to get funds out of our retirement account, 8-10 days. Possibly next week or the week after.
Thank you Howboutnow for the encouragement! Means a lot. It's still so difficult for me as every night I still tell myself I can't do this as she will be searching everywhere for me sobbing when she can't find me, freaking out when they will try to clean and change her but I know it has to be done so I'm still moving forward. The nurse from the facility is coming over next Monday to do the eval.

We're all thinking about you because we know you are really having a hard time with it. But just remember that it's for both of you. You will probably both be better off.

@ghphotog also keeping you in my prayers. Such a difficult decision, however, you have been and are one of the most dedicated caregivers of your sweet DW. Your situation brings tears to my eyes. I cry for you and all of us who have to deal with the decisions we have to make. xo
