[QUOTE="Guzzler, post: 1520683, member: 408573"] Gosh, if ever anyone ever had reason to feel down it is you my freind. There seems to be a shedload on your plate right now. I am too newly diagnosed to give you advice on the retinopathy etc but it does sound like you need some room, some respite. Is there another family member who could tend to your parents, even for a weekend? If not, have a word with your gp about getting some help from Adult Services, granted it's a long shot as care for the elderly has been underfunded for so long that getting it now is hard. There comes a point when there is no longer any give in the elastic band so decisions have to be made concerning your parents so that your health doesn't continue on a downward spiral. See your gp, you can only ask. I hope you find yourself in a better place physically and mentally very soon. Best wishes, Pauline. [/QUOTE]
