we have two dogs...one 9yrs old one 12 yrs. old...I took care of hubby, and I'm now 79...
he made sure to do his PT therapy, I fixed his ice packs, three light meals a day...the only time he needed pain pills was at bed time...sometime during the middle of the night I would give him one more...
If you live near a nursing home, contact them to see if one of their staff is looking for outside jobs, we live near one and many in our Retirement Village use their staff for help cleaning, shopping and nursing care... and be sure to check for services in your community... meals can be fixed for you...delivered for a small fee, some do it for no fees...
we must keep our dogs on a leash at all time when out side, so they were my total responsibility and it kept me busy all the time...I made soup and put in freezer ahead of surgery...was a long Winter...so glad it is now Spring...Thankful we neither had any COVID problems...we only got the two shots, required by hospital for him...NO BOOSTERS SHOTS...this one size fits all with the Biden handlers does not impress us...
I made sure hubby had lots of water, juice and oranges, tangerines, lemon for flavor on foods...I would go to Restaurants and get ready made fresh salads...
Even as we age, it is important to keep active ...busy... and eat as well as we can afford...I kept house visitors limited due to COVID...BUT EVERYTHING WORKED OUT...
WILL keep you in prayer.. take care...
Heck, I want to hire YOU!
