I am taking care of my grandmother since she came out of the nursing home in march. Currently working 50+ hours a week at my job. When I get off I am caring for her, staying in her house and getting her up and ready in the mornings so I can do it all over again. My dad (her son) is absolutely no help. My uncle will be coming down next weekend to give me a break.
However there is no one else. What can I do? Any advise or anyone else in a similar situation that can help?

My uncle has POA and asked me to help, but he lives 8 hours away.
Now you. I would think this added stress is taking a toll on your MS. Working alone would be stressful. Maybe you need to talk with Uncle. Explain that you cannot be expected to this indefinitely with your MS. Decisions need to be made. I know there are better meds than even 10 yrs ago when my cousin suffered from MS. It was very hard for her to do daily tasks. Her husband did the majority.
You need to take care of you.
