Hi Francesca
The first rule of being a care giver for a man is that you are always wrong!!! The second rule is it helps if you can swing from the ceiling,the third rule is RED WINE.
I am a full time carer for my husband who is blind, and is in remission from advanced prostate cancer. ME I'm recovering from surgery for oral cancer to the tonsil area and the base on my tongue, YES I'm fine but I'm a not helping him by being ill!! yes if I sound bitter I'ts the red wine, We are coming to Spain for a month in November, so I hope the sun and sangria will help me forget the past few months, so take good heart, you are not on your own out there...
Sunshine... love and hugs
Helen
