Take it day by day. You are doing the very best job you can do. Being a caregiver is very difficult. I dont think I could do it. You have to wear so many hats that when would you have time to catch your breath? I hope you are able to set aside a few minutes every single day for just yourself. Its a very rough path you are on and you need your strength and the patience of a saint. Even if its for 10 minutes to walk around the block, have an uninterrupted phone call with a friend, go out to lunch, or soak in the tub (or since you are in Australia to take a cold shower to cool off) We patients know all too well what our caregivers endure, so a big thanks for what you do!!! Hang in there, we will be here to help.
