Life as a care giver is frustrating most of the time and in a way rewarding. Frustrating because dealing with 2 individuals that each need different levels of care means twice the work and twice the worry. Dividing time between them becomes a juggling act and an issue of time management. Vacation time has to be planned months in advance and finding someone who can look out for them while your away can be a challenge. Life is not your own any more. It's rewarding because when things go according to plan you can feel good about yourself and that you're doing something good for someone else.
The most important part of being a care giver is to take time to care for your needs. If you don't look after yourself you may need to find a care giver for yourself.
