A weekend away...

from Caregivers In Crisis · host Onesimus

I was able to schedule and attend a festival of sorts, two states away. While it did occur, the preparation for, execution of the trip and return was far from without stress and drama. Since I would be away, and we do not have adequate coverage from sitters 24/7, in order for my parents to be cared for, I was able to arrange respite care at a local nursing home. Not only did this allow me to get away (for the first time in almost four years), but it gave an opportunity for some professional, objective nursing and physical therapy assessments to be done and documented.
