Hello; back in 1986 my second wife had a broken back from a car accident. She recovered but it took some time. She had a steel rod in her back for a year to hold things in place. Every thing went in stages and seemed to take forever. I was lucky in that her sister was able to stay with her during the day while I was at work during the first critical three weeks. I took over in the afternoon until the next morning and all weekends. I was full time care giver when school summer vacation started. By fall school term she was able to be alone.Thanks guys, just got back from getting her worst cuts cleaned,
Being a care giver can wear you down if you do not have some help. Pace yourself and do not turn down chances to take a break. Likely a long haul.
Good luck
