He seemed to be doing really well in the hospital, but since he has come home he is more argumentative them normal, his breathing has gotten worse and is now on oxygen all the time. He doesn't want to listen and just gets up and does things for himself without telling me. I am living at his house now, and he seems to think he is going to be able to be back living by himself, but I don't see that happening. I can not put him in a home as he would decline more. I lived with mom and him before her death. I seriously think this is the road this is going.
As you see I don't really have a question, I just need someone to talk to without feeling too alone. I have a sister-in-law (my brother died a year ago in January). and I have my daughter and her family. But I need someone to vent to.
Take it one single day at a time, promise yourself that you'll always manage to have time for yourself, somehow, no matter what, do the best you can for him, treat yourself with the very same care and compassion.
A hug.
