Looking for anyone who cares for their wife who has a spinal cord injury 30 year's plus. Both of us are 60 and I am the sole caregiver. Frustrated and depressed.
Guitarkire -- Are you still around? Just checked in here myself. I've been caregiving (or however you put it -- I never thought much about it until a week ago ) a paraplegic wife for 30 years. It has been an adventure worth having -- I'm pretty good with wheelchair brake adjustments, Stage 4 pressure wounds, UTI's, incontinence (in exotic locales ...), foley catheters, wet sheets ... been there, done that, got the t-shirts... I would marry her again in 20 seconds ... But just when you think it's all covered and on course ...
