Guest guest Posted December 28, 2002 Report Share Posted December 28, 2002 Kat - You mention you havent heard of struggles from the caregivers to people with this disease. Im a caregiver, have been for 8 years to my 85 year old mother in law, but the situation is reversed, I have the disease while she is old and still quite spritely. She lives with us. I know all about the highs and lows of caring for an elderly person especially with me being chronically tired and always (it seems) recovering from some type of surgery. Occasionally, I feel I need a carer of my own although my husband does his very best. A sense of humour is my biggest ally!

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2002 Report Share Posted December 29, 2002 Jan, I too use humor, sometimes of the sarcastic nature, to help get me through. Mostly, I use exercise and work to " escape " and rejuvinate. A week ago I had a serious cat bite to my hand, this has curtailed nearly everything, and it has been tough (VERY) to keep the chin up. It definately helps to chat with everyone in this group, hear of struggles and vicariously celebrate triumphs, plus laugh at my own poor typing ability with the injury. Thank you for understanding, and I highly respect your ability to cope with elderly parent while dealing with this disease. I hope I can meet a man with your husbands quality of support and understanding. Best wishes for continued positive health.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2002 Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 Kat - So sorry to hear about your cat bite. I/ve only ever had one and that is when I took my cat Sheba (a himalayan) to the vet. It felt like being punctured by 100 needles all at once and remember it took ages to heal and so painful.
