Mel, it makes me so sad to hear of all the pain you (and Frances) have had to endure through these last months. You have been such a wonderful caregiver, but, like the others said, don't forget to take care of yourself. Support for caregivers is harder to come by than support for the patient. Life just seems to dump things in bunches sometimes, and you certainly have received more than your share. Please know that you are in my prayers and I hope that you find some time of peace soon.
