Just wow
I just moved back into town after being away for about ten years now. My grandma is just suffering having to provide care for her husband. No one wants to deal with him. I feel bad for her. So bad I decided to take her place as my grandfathers caregiver. The money is insane. Ihss pay and his family is giving a very generous extra payment a month. I jumped at it when she told me how much. It’s been three weeks and wow this is insane. I’m working Monday thru Thursday 7pm to 7am and 3 24 hour shifts on the weekend. My coworker got sick and I’ve been on a 8 day streak 24 hours. My grandpa is 60 but suffered a bad brain bleed. He has random outburst of anger and rage. Punching and kicking. Cussing at you the worst things you could hear a family member say. 90% of the time. That 10% is what I try to hold onto. That 10% he is very clear. Sometimes it seems he’s trying to say sorry for what he’s doing. It’s a big rollercoaster of emotions. My coworker is coming back on Monday thank goodness. I have a ton of respect for all you that do this. You are amazing human beings. Keep it up.
