Wife with MS, such a challenge

Just venting. This is analogous to almost everyday.
Wife had had MS 20 years. Now on disability, they forced her to retire from work.
…….she takes forever to finish any task and even then there’s a mess left or it’s done halfway.
Never asks for help.
This morning, she had an ultra important appointment online. Spent entire day previous prepping. Today comes and none of her prep is relevant to the appointment.
It’s frigging maddening.
This is every day around here

Just venting. Wife has a disease, it’s been hard.

I’m a good guy. It’s not 100% easy.
Devoted to helping her and seeing this life thru with her (she has MS). However, that said, she tries to contribute often and it sets me back an hour each time. She can’t really do things well and her brain fog never lets up.
It’s frustrating at times to be the sole provider, caregiver, accountant, cook, friend, dog walker/feeder, house cleaner, clothes washer…..etc. but, I wouldn’t be much of a human if I left.
It is….. what it is.
And I’m down for it.
