What a joy to find this site! I have wondered where I can go to find some folks that have or are going through this caregiving business. My husband and I were in an auto accident in 12/07 and he suffered a brain injury. We have been in and out of hospitals, rehab etc but are now at home, much better but still many deficits in mobility, etc. I need some guidance in how to manage to get him to eat enough to slow his weight loss. There is diabetes to consider, although it is pretty well controlled. I cook and prepare 3 meals daily, much of which he will not eat although it is food he liked before the accident. The sites for meal planning etc are too involved in preparation so if you have a meal plan to share I will be glad to have it. My levels of frustration rise quite a lot late in the evening when I get tired, as does his. Then I feel so full of anger for the position we are in, which by the way is so much better than so many, and another reason for being ashamed of myself. I try to turn it over to the Lord but before I can do it fully have picked it up again-in case you cannot tell I feel about the end of my tether. Thanks for listening, I feel better!!

SC--I had a 17 yr old daschund that did same thing--it helps if you take them out more frequently--you can't fuss 'em cause they can't help it -- wonder if they make Depends for dogs?? [smile] --Gayle
