Listen people-you do not find yourself a caregiver. You can either rest and yes be out of work and money and have stuff not done or you can push yourself to the breaking point. Trust me you have one. I pushed myself to the breaking point. Ended up taking extra strength Excederin all day and Lortab all night along with Valium so that I could keep working and functioning. One day my mind/body just broke (and I consider myself a badass) hallucinated while driving, crashed car into a wall, took more Lortab and Excederin because oh **** now I am going to really hurt. Ended up in hospital with liver/kidney failure having all my family members coming in to say "goodbye" to me. I did die, had a near death experience and by the grace of god am alive today with nearly fully healed liver/kidneys. My family has had no choice but to help me. It is not like I expect them to nurse me or do anything really other than give me a place to rest and some food. So I tell you that the condition you have is serious. You may have problems for life. I have not returned to anywhere near functioning as before. I have been in pain everyday since 2006. The Neuropsychologists are saying "you know we aren't going to be able to return you to your past life but we can help so that maybe you can be independent again." You have two choices. Rest or something similar to the above experience will occur to you and I cannot guarantee you will come out of it alive. I was too arrogant to rest. Had a high power executive job, high roller, drove sports car, was very smart.
I am sorry for the brutal truth people but here it is. I don't want that to happen to any of you. Please hear what I am telling you.
