My friend has been home for two months now and I find it increasingly more difficult than I thought. I don't know how much longer I can take care of her, she seems to be regressing instead of progressing. She seems to sundown when it gets long toward evening and sometimes ,take this evening for example, she calls for someone and when we get back to her room she doesn't want anything or she will ask the same questions . again and again. I can deal with feeding, changing, getting her from one room to the next. I can not deal with the confusion and the constant wanting someone to come to her room and then wanting nothing. I am about at end the of the line with her, but I don't want to send back to the nursing home. I'm torn between the loyalty I feel for her and the my health which is slowing declining. I don't know what to do.
