Caregivers and Stress

Hey Kelt,
I use the Department of Aging and Disability Services for things I need help with for my mom such as assistance and referrals. Try googling that they may know of some doctors in your mom's area that specialize or treat dementia patients? Worth a shot.

Sorry you're having to end up doing so much leg work for a small town. i do it for my mom and the population there is less than 4,000. Yep it's not a typo. LOL I live in a smaller town just up the road from her and run myself ragged at times for her. But, I do what I must for my mom because she's the only mom I have and I love her.
We do what we know is right by our parents when we are able and can continue doing so. I reach my days at times with mom that I get so frustrated with her behavior towards me and her anger, that I just wanna walk away and tell my younger sister "she's all yours! I"M DONE" days. But I haven't .....YET.
Still hanging in there trying to do my duty as a daughter/son/butch/me for her.

Kelt, what town, state an county is this in? I wouldn't mind helping you google stuff to help you out to keep your head from spinning around so much if you need me to. PM me if you want to, I'm home all the time and can do that, I"m disabled myself.
