Default hi ... my name is debbie

hi ... my name is debbie and i am the caregiver to frank aka weegot5kiz who has MS and is still my knight in shining armor ... i also give support to my mother and father via the phone who both have alzheimer ... i am also the caregiver to 2 of our 5 boys ... one is 21 and has high functioning autism and the other is 19 and has moderate to severe mental retardation ... saying my life isn't busy would be a total underestimation ... i have AHDH and bipolar depression ... lately the depression has been taking its toll on me but i try not to let it show as so many need me ... my biggest worry is the genetics factor of alzheimer since both of my parents have this disease ... and my second biggest worry is being able to keep my husbands morale up though this trying time ... he is so use to doing for me and now its the other way around ... i dont mind ... he's the love of my life and will always be ... just so worried sometimes/all the time about everything

Welcome Debbie! It's so nice to see more carepartners come on board with us. Enjoy looking around and use us as your sound board as Tammy suggested. Hugs!
