A cardiology test.


I did things I have had no interest in, in 3 short hours.


cleaned, got out my fall decor.....


I felt like my old self.


I have been reflecting.


What does it say about my daily routine, that I have been so non-go-getter.


3 hours of complete freedom uplifted me.


I haven’t felt like that in 2 years.


Same amount of time since I left my own life.


Wow....eye opener.

Glad to hear this, Arimethea33! Three hours of complete freedom -- yes, that is a wonderful thing.

Sounds like you need more time, more freedom. Is there any way to make that happen?

For myself, I have what seems like a fairly good 24/7 situation (shared with my sister), but to be alone in the house for three hours is absolute heaven. Today my sister took my dad on a brief walk (roll) around the block and I just reveled in the minutes alone, without the constant responsibility of the caregiver. It was so great.

I think you have to get some more of this time for yourself!

The adult day care the AAA social worker helped me find has been wonderful for both Mom and me. Six hours three dependable days a week to shop, clean, sleep, have lunch with friends, take a child to the splash pad, visit a dentist or PCP, etc. If your LO can qualify for a day care, I highly recommend.

Caregiving is a great responsibility and I am glad that you were able to get some time away. Please try to get more time away because caregiver burnout is real.
