Sorry that I haven't made any blogs for a while. Being a caregiver to my husband and son, I never
really have the time to blog. For today's topic it's going to be the caregiver needing to be taking care
of too.
Right now I have chronic back pain due to taking care of my husband and then going straight
to picking up my son. I know that I can't just depend on myself to just taking care of my family
and cleaning up my house, so I have to rely on family. Even though the in-laws coming over often, it
can be overwhelming and frustrating. Oh, and if any of my in-laws are reading this, don't get
offended by that. I love you guys and truly blessed and very grateful to have you guys come over
when we need you. In fact, I am truly blessed to my family, to friends, my church family,
and others who have helped us over the past two and a half years. Please feel free to call me or
message me on Facebook that you want to help out. I sometimes have a hard time giving Daniel
his stretches because my back is in pain or I can't pick things off the floor because it hurts to bend
over.
As a caregiver, we carry a heavy load. We see the pain and feel the pain of the person we are
caring for, but yet there is not much we can do about it. So my resolution this year is to take
care of myself and to give up my selfish needs and ask for help.
