I have recently become a caregiver to my mom who is recovering from a broken hip.She has other issues too that she needs care for.It wears me out sometimes because I have no help from any of my family.I am doing all the work.The hardest thing for me is leaving her alone to go to the grocery store or to do laundry or things like that.I do it because I know she needs me and I would want someone to do it for me if I needed help.I love my mom and will do my best to see that she gets the help she needs.It would be nice if my siser would help out too.

Being a caregiver is hard and stressful..please make sure you take care of yourself too!

Does she qualify for any in hon=me help from say a Visiting Nurse association....esp if she was hospitalized, sometimes people qualify for a while in their own homes post hospital.....

good luck and hugs....
