[quote] know that I am only the caregiver here [/quote] Oh my theres a statement that needs correcting.ONLY?

You do the job because you want to,you need to,and because you love him.what you won't get for a while is much in the way of job satisfaction.Nurses and doctors get the gratitude ,we carers get the attitude and the crap,but never undervalue what you are doing or the vital part you play in the overall picture.Husbands give us a hard time because they can lol but we cant get our coats on and go home at the end of the shift,and we care and hurt when they are difficult and bad tempered so we get upset and sometimes despondant and even take it all very personally.This forum is design built for us.Come here and get it off your chest,ask advice for specifics,or just shoot the breeze.

It does help
