this link pretty much says it for me.

I will have to take it day by day with ailing 90 year old FIL. Two two hour sessions a day at the rehab center, monitoring his meals (he is allergic to eggs and yet they persist in serving him things that contain eggs. I live in fear of having him die of allergic reaction in front of me since the staff at the rehab center don't seem capable of conceiving of this as the life and death issue it is) take a big chunk out the day it's a half hour commute each way. I do breakfast, go to the gym which is about midway, do a two hour work out of training session, run errands, go back the the rehab center, monitor lunch , go home, grab some lunch, catch up with backlog of stuff, etc.

Himself takes the dinner shift and gets home for a late dinner.

It's kind of exhausting, but I sure miss the road biking.

Here's hoping something changes for the better in 2010.

In the meantime, I take the link as an inspiration and a goal.
