I know man...Thank you so much with sharing with us! I know many can relate to the craziness of just getting up and going in the morning as you described. Many people try to tell the caregiver that they need to "get out more." And I know it's true but they have no earthly idea what that means and all that is involved. And of course unless they help (which does happen occasionally) they don't have a clue as to how exhausting it can be! Thanks again for sharing - and thanks for reading!Jeanie Olingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08221519789473867001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020270586004385865.post-26027148175011000842015-09-30T01:33:58.425-07:002015-09-30T01:33:58.425-07:00Yes I will!! I get so tired physically caring for ...Yes I will!! I get so tired physically caring for my sweet wife. There are so many days I feel as if there must be something wrong with me. I must be sick, but then I will have a day like yesterday . I actually felt good , had enough energy in the afternoon to go swim laps. Even though its a major deal to cart Loretta along , I did it. Our routines are a blessing in some ways because they force us out of the house. I take my wife to speech and physical therapy twice a week and to a gym the other days. Our day begins around 6 am and then the clock starts ticking. I have anywhere from 2 to 3 hours to get her ready, depending on if she wants to get up or not. I wanted to list everything we do to get ready but thought, no ,its a very long list. lol By the time we get home around 12 or 1, get lunch, clean up lunch , change Loretta make sure we do good oral care ect ect ect I am usually exhausted. And did I mention I ain't no spring chicken. <br />So thanks Jeanie for the only devotional I have ever found that relates so intimately with our own struggles. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
