Caregivers
We’ve reached the age where we might be caring for our spouses for a time (and they caring for us) or our parents. In any case, being a caregiver can be draining physically and emotionally. I had to laugh I my sweet husband. After knee replacement on Wednesday, last night, one day after surgery, he declared , “I can’t walk!” Our men, particularly, have a hard time understanding they are down. They’re done. They’re stuck. Which means all household anything will rest on me for the next several weeks. If you find yourself in the same situation, remember to take care of yourself too. It’s a little like the advice we give our new mamas. Rest when the baby rests. Rest or work out or take a walk. Whatever works for you. Now to follow my own advice, right? Anyone else in the caregiver stage right now?
