What does your daily schedule now look like since you've taken on the care of your stricken loved one? Do you even have a schedule now or are things in utter chaos? Maybe we can help.....

I try to work on paperwork in the morning applying for emergency assistance (funds, free home health aides, etc). I'm also trying to locate his will, make sure my name is on the house, and other necessary things. I also have to take care of our dogs and birds. I get to the hospital by noon and stay until midnight. I'm exhausted and the house is chaos. I'm an amputee and housework is very hard and time consuming from a wheelchair. I use a prosthetic leg but it's hard because my other leg has 100% arterial blockage. The poor blood flow means I have to rest after every few feet of walking even with a walker but I can drive thank goodness. He hates that I'm not at the hospital first thing in the morning even though he knows what I'm doing.
