My Dad is 76 and hurt his back last week. He can barely walk now yet still insists on doing tasks that require bending down, so he keeps hurting his back more. I wish he would rely on me for this stuff but I don't know if it's pride or what that keeps him from doing so.
It scares me that after only a week I am already feeling this irritated. I owe him a lot since he's patiently cared for me through all my mental illness. He also cared for both his parents until they died, and even helps his girlfriend care for her aging parents. Up until now he's been pretty healthy and independent. Really afraid of what the future might look like if I have to become caretaker.
