hi orange i know exactly how you feel, my dad lives me and i care for him, he is 90, he has chronic lunge disease amomgst other problems, and he too has to go on oxygen, i love him very much,he has lived with me for a year now, some days i get very down with it all and stressed, he is so weak and frail he cannot move around much, i have carers coming in twice a day to help me, his incontinence is geting worse, every day just seems filled with illness around me and sadness, he is basically existing, i try to get out whenever i can for an escape from it all, its my way of coping, and i have to try and blank the fact out that i dont feel he will live much longer
