Analysis of caregiver's lament
Feet up
Time to relax
Okay
Naaaaan!
Yard work
Start to cook
Me time?
Naaaaaaan!
Cleaning
Now dressing him
Rest now?
Naaaaaaaan!
No end
What about me?
My turn?
Naaaaaaaaaan!

After 4 years of being a 24 hour/day caregiver for my husband I felt I needed to express what its like for me and my fellow caregivers.
