Hello trekker and JoJo. Thank you both for the warm welcome.

JoJo you have a good memory, yes I was a caregiver to my husband for about a year while he was fighting testicular cancer. He is in full remission now, but I will never forget how hard it was to watch him suffer, and then on top of having that stress and emotional pain was all the extra physical work to help him, and the house, and do everything that needed doing along with doing all the worrying.

trekker, I can relate to everything you said in your post. The exhaustion, the tears, the fear and being lonley, and the family that just doesn't always get it, and the need to just scream at the end of the day (quietly into your pillow of course so you don't disturb or worry the loved one you are caring for).

Being able to relate to being a caregiver is one of the reasons I volunteered to moderate this particular forum.

Thank you again for the warm welcomes
