Re: not coping

i dont get to be sick even when i am actually sick. even while ive been struggling with covid ive have to make sure pops taking his medications, eating, drinking, showering, entertained. cooking meals for him and trying to do some washing.

i had to go out today to pick up groceries so i done an online order and all he had to do was get out of the car and just put the bags into the car so i wasnt near anyone but that was to hard for him and i had to get the worker to help put stuff in the car. his dementia is getting more then i can handle but theres no one that will help when covids around. even his support services wont even come to the house for 15 days so im stuck with him all mext week as well now

Re: not coping

@outlander, it certainly sounds like you haven’t been able to properly rest up during your sick period. I wish I could say something or do something to make you feel better. I’m here with you 💖🫂
