It was raining and very windy here, so I didn't get out for a walk. My daughter and her husband who live out of town come for a surpise visit, We had a nice visit with them.
I also am looking into doing volunteer work for the local Zoo. It isn't very large,but I enjoy it as do the grandkids.
Once I get my husband up and dressed and feed, he is good for a few hours. He usually just sits and watches TV. I have a lift chair for him so he can get up and down as needed. I always carry a cell phone as he does, so he can call me and I would only be 15min away. He also calls me onhis cell from a different part of the house if he needs me, so it works.
I try not to feel guilty about going out, If I stay at home all the time, I get really depressed. SO for my mental health, I try to get out and do something productive. I can only clean and cook and read so much. He accepts my need to get out. I try not to leave him for too long. If I am longer than a couple of hours I check in by phone.
I really apreciate everyones supporting words. It helps to know that there are others who know what you are going through.
