No matter what I do or eat today-it ain't helpin'
Bad day again.I guess it's all the stress lately.
My mentally-handicapped daughter is back home again and I'm her caretaker now.I moved(AGAIN)My washer won't be hooked up forever,cause the guy doing it can't figure out if he wants to;in the meantime,I have like a gazillion loads of wash to do!You only get so many warm sunny days in Nova Scotia!All that my soluble fiber is doing today is making me fly.The pain-AGGHH!
I have to try to get my daughter out of bed again.This will be the 5th time today.Darn it all!!!! 
Lots of Love,Always... 69pearl

Do I ever know what you mean!!!! My mom just underwent major abdominal surgery at 75. She is home now, but my poor dad is at her beck and call. I am trying to work, hold down my house, go over there and relieve him, and not to lose my mind. Isn't it funny how you have other family members who love to give advice about the situation, but are nowhere to be found when the dirty work needs to be done. I was due at the beach for a two week vacation, so guess who is not going to the beach.

Oh! I'm so sorry to hear that! Iknow what you mean about the laundry, but here, in Mississippi, one can go all summer in a bathing suit! lol. Of course, not when you are working.
I'm so sorry about your daughter. Do you mind me asking what sort of disability she has?
I know it's got to be tough dealing with that and IBS and moving. (and the washing machine) Life is hard enough as it is!
Remember, God has a plan for everyone and everything that happens to us in our lives. Today is better for me, however, I don't know what tomorrow will bring, but if God leads you to it, He will lead you through it.
You may not want to hear all of this right now. I'm just trying to encourage and help. I know that's what I would want if I were in your situation.
Again, I'm so sorry, and I wish I could help you more.
Try some pretzels if you have any. They usually help me!
LOVE AND HUGS! Everyone needs both!

My heart goes out, like Kappy, to both of you - being a caretaker is about the most stressful job there is - been there, done that! I could give you all kinds of advice about stress, but you probably already know them all, and, besides, I don't follow my own advice! 
But, I pray God will send you both some help soon!!!

Thanks GaGa. My frustration comes with an extended family who has all the answers, but offers no help. ARGHHH!!! You know, I can handle all the errands, the cooking, giving the meds...anything that does not involve bodily fluids. But, you give me bodily fluids and I lose it. So, I do all the stuff for her that does not involve her body, and my 77 yr old father does the rest. I went out and bought Depends and had to demand she wear them, to save him some grief. I was never cut out to be a care-giver, so I am doing the best I can with what I have. And I am young, so it's even harder. My parents had me late in life.
Damn the rest of the family. I love it when they come up with all these suggestions and solutions, but when it comes time to wipe her butt, where are they? Oh geez, I forgot, they have to work, and take care of their house, so they just can't be there. Well, darn, so do I!!!! Nough said.
