UPDATE

Sorry I have had no recent posts.  A lot has been going on lately.  Currently I am in Florida on family leave helping Mom out for Easter.  I will take her to the ear doctor and get her hearing aid serviced as well as take her to church.
Last week though a family member had to go into the hospital.  Not really going to go too deep into it right now because I don't want to to give out too much of her business.  She had some issue with medication she was taking.  So in addition to worrying about my mom and aunt in Florida I had to be concerned about this particular cousin.  It didn't help that my flight to Florida was a few days after my cousin was hospitalized.
I spoke to my cousin last night on the phone and she finally sounds more stable.
I can't say it enough, if you are a caregiver and especially if you are the sole caregiver, watch your health and in particular, watch your mental health.  It is easy to get into a rut and even a depression while you take care of a loved one.
I think back to 2008, right after Dad started having semi-regular bouts with dementia and just before he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease.  I started feeling jittery and I wasn't sleeping.  If I did get some sleep it was about three hours.  I had no real desire to eat and I was extremely claustrophobic.  I could hardly ride the subway and if I did I had to be by the door so I could feel like I could escape if I needed to.  Eventually I was diagnosed at St. Vincent's Hospital with anxiety.  It was only because of Lisa (my friend who I interviewed here) that I recognized that there was a problem and sought help.
Lisa, years ago suffered from depression and thought to school everyone in her social network to the warning signs.  I took some note to it and thankfully I was able to help a family member as well as myself.  My personal episode got me more aware of medications , something I will get into during a future posting.
For now, as I mentioned, keep up with your entire health, especially if you are taking care of someone and be aware of your mental health, in particular.  Take time for yourself.  Do SOMETHING by yourself and away from the person you are assisting or you can go mad.  Okay, maybe not that serious, but you can allow yourself to get into a depression and open the door to a slew of physical illnesses.
