Well dad made it thru his surgury. They did triple bypass. He has been home a week now and I am EXHAUSTED!!!! I am taking care of him all by my self. My brother wouldnt stay to help. He had more important things to do.

Hey Johanna: As a long-time caretaker myself, I can relate. I saw my pdoc today and asked her whether there is any more difficult/challenger situation to be in, than taking care of someone else. I have a fully handicapped son, and I've been doing everything for him for almost 10 years. I love this kid no end, I really do, but its taking its toll. And there's no end in sight. My son will not get better.
I have to be brutally honest here - I can do this for my son because, well, because he's my son and I adore him. I don't know how long I could do it for a parent. Hang in there and reach out for support!
Here's to a quick recovery! Love, Mo.
Jo,
Stress can definitely cause your fibro to flare, as can the hit your immune system takes just from exhaustion.
You need to move back to FL!! :)
