Hi Hilbilie and Peggy and all,
It is very interesting to read this topic. Its sort of "funny" but I'm
toward the other end of the spectrum. I have severe RA and OA
and am mainly in a wheelchair. My hands are not as usable, and
they frequently shake a lot. I DO sew - just not nearly as much as
my dream projects require! The sewing I do is for my dear grandchildren.

My dh is a "caretaker" too, but I try to make it easier for him. I know it
is a lot of extra work - not just taking care of my needs, but doing the
things I used to do and can't do any more.

I have so much compassion and admiration for those of you who have
this responsibility. Please do take time for yourself now and then. It
really is necessary. I'm trying to get my dh to go on a day hike. He
rarely does something just for himself.

Anyway, thanks from someone who knows some of how hard it .

Take Care,
Carol C

I am it.

The computer is my outside line and I love it.
you are not alone in being the 24/7 care giver for a disabled DH
I have been at it for over 10 years.
Take care of yourself along the way and take TIME to do something just for
YOU once in a while!
