Sorry to hear Jim, it seems when a person gets disabled and or paralyzed , life can become very tough for their family or spouces also. My wife gets down at times too...taking care of me plus having to work full time.....It sucks having to rely on others to just survive but it seems we have no choice in that. I hope things work out for you and getting good caregivers. One day at a time, hang in there.            Dan

Well, it finally happened.  My wife informed me about a month and a half ago that she was leaving and taking my 15 soon-to-be 16-year-old daughter with her.  On October 1st she took off and only time will tell what's going to happen.  I'm still in my house with my 23-year-old son and my wife and daughter are renting a house about 16 miles away.  She does not know what she is going to do in terms of divorcing or not but she's told her best friend that she needs some time away.  She has refused to take the family to any counseling since my injury in 2000 and she refuses to go to any type of marriage counseling together or alone.  She made this decision all on her own without talking to me, her best friend, sister or mother.  It was not a real big surprise to me because I knew something was up but still it is not something that I was looking forward to.
 
I was in the process of changing caregiving agencies because the one I am with is having trouble staffing me. Interim Health Care told my told the social worker that they could take my case and at the very last moment they changed their mind so I'm still with my old agency and my evening caregiver has already got a different job so now after Wednesday evening I do not know what's going to happen.  More news at 10 I guess.
