in Caring for a Parent

The general advice is to take care of yourself so you can take care of someone else. I can't even get to a #$%& dental appointment. Frustrating is not the word for it.

Thanks for listening.

    Is it time for a facility, do you think? I know that this has been consuming all your time.

    I am so sorry. Is there any respite in your area? We are finding out my dad’s insurance pays for someone to come in.

    @Grenah, that is tough. I am so sorry to hear.

    @trishalc, you are blessed. My mom's insurance offers assistance, but only after a hospitalization.
