FROM OHIO
I have been taking care of my Partner Yolanda since she has come down with congestive heart failure and several other medical issues. I do everything here in our home. She used to be so active then she got arthritis in her back where she can barely walk to the bathroom at times. She is kind and loving and always says please and thank you. I also take care of our grandson everyday of the week. All day in the summer. I get him on the bus for school and pick him up after school. Get him to karate during the week on certain days. I try to get her to get up and do something but she can't too much pain. It's so hard when I have to get her to a doctors appointment or when I have to take her for her back injections. It will all work out. It just gets a little frustrating and makes me very sad.
