Hi Kath

It's good to hear from you. Didn't you start taking

Lyrica recently for your feet? Is it helping you? It

is helping the neuropathy in my legs.

Okay, now I believe you have answered you own

question, it has already become too hard to care for

your darling grandson. But, this doesn't have to be an

all or nothing situation.

Can you watch your him for fewer hours each day, or

each week? Almost 12 hours a day, is daunting for

someone who is healthy, or even young and healthy. Who

else can help care for him?

Could you even have a responsible teenager come to

your home a few hours each day and help you? You could

split the money with her, teens always need money.

I'm sure your grandson does help bring you out of

yourself. It is important to be needed, and to keep

busy.

I have 3 step grandchildren, but they are more than

300 miles from us, so we only see them once or twice

each year.

The members in this group, who have grandchildren will

have creative ideas for you.
