caring for an aged parentHello back. Thank you for your reply. It took me ages to find my post, but it will get easier I hope. Yes it is somewhat challenging. the hardest part is being not being able to go out at the drop of the hat. A carer needs to be organized the day before to sit with mum. She is very frail and needs help with everything. I have a very good friend, who comes over regularly and looks after mum when I need to get out. I have recently taken up Yoga, which helps me tremendously and have joined a Carer Support group. The first time I went it was quite overwhelming. Had a phone call from them last Tuesday offering me a one hour voucher for a massage. Was so thrilled. So this afternoon I'm off to be pampered. I also have someone come in and help with dressing and showering 4 times per week. I would love to find a chat room, where I can have a one on one conversation with someone in a similar situation to share experiences. As my social life is very limited, this might be the way to go. So far I haven't had much luck. :-) Thanks again for your reply.
