I’m a carer for my husband, he’s had two strokes plus other issues. His mobility is not very good.
I think if I can find some time for myself and do the things I like to do I like to walk with my German Shepherd and I like meeting him

I think a know how you feel. My husband has a severe chronic illness which has been getting worse. I'm trying not to let the disease rule our lives, but it's very difficult.
I am so pleased you have replied
My husband has had a couple of strokes he’s not very mobile. He her also has short-term memory loss, but then sometimes he can remember things.
It gets difficult at times. Most time I carry on and on I do things that I like I’ve got a German Shepherd we go walking we live in the countryside so it’s very restful for me
Lovely to hear from you Goldie
