My husband is bedridden and I do everything for him but feed him. He was gone from January of 2017 thru May of 2017. When he came home from rehab, we were signed up for a course of therapy, Home Health and Visiting Nurse Care. There was someone here every day over three months. They mostly came early in the morning which meant I had to get out of bed VERY early, make his breakfast, change him and his bed,bathe and dress him, shower myself, get dressed and find some way to get our dog outside when they came because she’s not social. I adored all those people and got teary when the therapies were over, but I really felt like I was being invaded. I knew my husband wasn’t comfortable either. Now, we go nowhere and do nothing. I could use the break. But, honestly, in my life an hour or two respite is nothing. All I’d do is go out and spend money we don’t have.

You have to do whatever you and your husband are comfortable with. As long as he’s kind and you do things together, don’t let people convince you to have outside help. They all mean well, but they are strangers after all. Your friends mean well too. Just shrug and say, “We do okay.” That’s what I do.
