Am I being unreasonable?

That really sucks! Do you use a service where someone can fill in until you are able to find a more permanent replacement?

I am so sorry. That is devastating.

I wonder if short term respite in a facility would give you peace of mind until you are able to provide the bulk of her caregiving.

FredW I just wanted to say I think you are doing a great job. With everything. The way you have your home set up with cameras, the way you have Home Care arranged, the way you are assessing others who care for your DW and the decisions you are making for your own care are all strong actions. Even the way you took a taxi to and from the hospital for your surgery was amazing.

While it will not be the same, I hope maybe the Agency can send someone else who is of similar caliber at least for a short while to give you some support until your move is complete.

I also give you huge kudos for realizing it is time to move too. By making that decision, you are "taking the bull by the horns" in the situation. You are taking charge of it and not waiting for it to force a decision upon you that you otherwise would never have chosen.

I am especially touched by the exchange you had with your wife when you returned home after surgery. What a gift that must have been to see that look of love again.

I support your decision to move although I am sure it was one of the hardest choices to make. Blessings to you and your DW.

Oh, FredW, I am so sorry. I know how maddening it is to feel like you have come to a point where you can breathe for a minute, just to have it snatched away with no warning. (My metaphors are not spot on, but you get my point) I hope someone even better turns up soon. We're all feeling your pain.

Fred…I love "take that". Can not wait to use it.
