Hey everyone. I haven't been on here in a while. Mom is 52 years young and was diagnosed this past September. She has decided to get the feeding tube and although im a little scared for her but I am glad she changed her mind. Theses past few months she has become totally dependent. She can barely walk with assistance and needs a lot of personal care. I stay with her while my dad is at work during the week usually 8-6 p.m. My sister would fill in on Wednesday s, but she recently took a new job where she can no longer take any day during the week. That leaves me "working" during the day and working at a retail job Saturdays 9:30-715 Sundays 10-6. I didn't realize how exhausted I would be. I just want one day to myself. Its so hard to find help. We really don't have anyone. There is also this four day trip in September all my friends are attending, and we have no one to stay with mom. I looked into home healthcare...$ 20/hr? Shew. Any thoughts?
