Caregiver

I am my husbands caregiver. I run his home hemodialysis through his fistula. We are a very strong couple, but sometimes I get overwhelmed. I work, take care of everything in the house as well as him. I have asked him to be more helpful - however he is so tired all the time. I think it would be better for him to be more active. He isn't when I am at work, and when I am home we are doing dialysis for 5 hours before the evening and my goal of getting some good rest and sleep. I love him, he is my best friend. I just get frustrated at his lack of helping around the home. Maybe I am asking more of him than what is a reality with end stage kidney disease. We are praying that he will receive a kidney transplant. That alone is a huge journey. I participate in all his appointments and care. I want the very best for him, so home hemo is what we were told was best for his health. He is in good health outside of the kidney disease. I am of good health, however I have put on weight over the last year and half plus that he has been on dialysis, and that gets to me as well. I feel stress and am not sure what to do. Is there someone in this community that is support for the caregiver/spouse of the patient that can give some words of wisdom and encouragement. We do dialysis 5 days a week.
