I have caregiver burnout. She went kicking & screaming. She tells everyone I put her in a cell. So I put Cellblock 310 on her kleenex box & we make a joke about it. Alzheimer's is UGLY!

I understand caregiver burnout. I know a 12 hour ICU shift with a confused patient can wear me out mentally and frazzle the nerves. I can't imagine 24/7. Just not feasable. I think you made a great decision regarding your mother's care and it is good you can still joke about it some. It sounds like Beau is really missing his mom, and I hope you find him a
great furever home soon so he can begin again and not be sad.
