Update on how things are going since the guardianship and my health...
Since getting the guardianship on my grandmothers behalf I been able to take care of the bills and everything that wasn't done due to the wait with the lawyers. My grandmother has her days in the nursing home when I go to visit. She still snaps at the nurses just giving her insulin shots and testing for blood sugar before meals. One Saturday me trying to feed her didn't pan out even changed the meal but no such luck. I recently went for doctors appt Sat and found out I'm a type 2 diabetic l know I went through tons of stress and my eating habits were poor especially when it first started. After work some nights I went to her house to clean and when I had no time to get a proper meal, I went to eat junk just to have ate something. It's not fair to blame my grandmother for my poor health I did it to myself now I understood why the social worker there talked to me about taking some me time for myself. I did too much at the time. Since the prognosis I am starting to eat clean again before all this happened and hit the gym and take my required medications. I can reverse this, it will take a long commitment. Has anyone else been diagnosed with something due to caregiver stress??!!
Good for you for taking care of yourself! I'm glad to hear you can reverse the diabetes.
I still resented the fact that my parents could have easily hired caregivers to help them instead of calling on me all the time. I know, I should have set boundaries, but I didn't find this website until I was knee deep in the logistical care, by then it would have been difficult to start to say "no".... [sigh]
I won't blame any of this on my mom cause we deal with things the way we do and can't really lay the blame on someone else, just unfortunate circumstances.
