Thanks for posting your question.  You are doing such a good thing.  It can be so hard to be a caregiver -and the sole caregiver at that.  I agree with Carol - you really need to make sure to take care of yourself.   Maybe a caregiver support group could be helpful too you.  You might also want to read some of out information in our Caregiver Center.   As well, maybe now is the time to start thinking about other kinds of care/living arrangements for your mom.  Waiting until things progress more and worsen can sometimes make it difficult to find the right place for a loved one with this disease.  Here are a few articles/posts to review: Alzheimer's - How to Find and Check Out Nursing Homes Alzheimer's - Finding a Quality Nursing Home for Your Loved One You want to make sure she has the best quality of life that she can - while you do too!  Just some food for thought.    All the best, sue
