so tired
My husband has been sick off and on for 3 years, this last time he was in the hospital/nursing home for 249 days, came home about a month ago.  I'm the caregiver, plus I work outside the home.  He is in a hospital bed and can not get out.  He wakes me up 2-4 times a night for all sorts of things, he can not work the remote for the bed, or he just wants to see me.  I'm so tired that today I slept though my alarm and was 1.5 hours late for work.  I work 2 miles from home, so if there is a problem I can run home and also for lunch.  Today, I was home around 10 to change him, so did not come home again for lunch. He panics if I don't call him every 2 hours.  I'm trying not to get resentful.  I'm feeling all so overwhelmed anymore.  I just don't know what to do.
