Hi, I'm Soo, 63 years of age and the sole carer for my 83 year old husband who has various problems, the main one being his lack of any significant mobility.
I also care jointly for my 86 year old mum who is suffering from dementia although we haven't been able to get a diagnosis yet. We lost my 87 year old dad 6 weeks ago, following a fall at home, and subsequent hospitalisation.
I work part time for the NHS, and it's my salvation at the moment.
It's scary and tiring when you realise people depend on you, particularly during the horrible situation we find ourselves in at the moment with the pandemic.
