Solitude

"Periods of solitude refresh our appetite for togetherness." Adam Waytz, PhD

Solitude.  Hard to get when one is providing 24/7 caregiving.  This week, even with a home health aide here, Dwane drove a vehicle dangerously and fell while trying to use a ladder.  Hard to imagine what would happen to him if he lived on his own.  The irony:  because he is so resistant to any outside support; except for me, of course -- he seems to think he is entitled to my being here for him.  Ahh.  Guess you can tell from this blog that this has been a rough week.  The "36 Hour Day" says most caregivers wait too long to put someone into assisted living.  I think they are right.
