Father has COPD, full time oxygen, does NOTHING for himself. Mom Is the burnt out caregiver. He needs knee replaced ALWAYS In pain.Help!
Mom is tired dad is 82 and mom 81. Six kids and I am the only one who is helping they moved into our home 2 months ago. He was hooked on oxycodone! Past 2 years attempting to ween him off. All he does is complain about the pain! Mom is tired......don't know what to do????
For mom, a good check up is in order. Fatigue can signal many different things. Find out the cause.
It sounds to me like your father needs a part-time caregiver to come in to give your mother a break. Is there a way they can afford that? Even if it is only 20 hours a week, I know your mother would appreciate it.
