It's hard to be a caretaker, which is why there are caretaker support groups. You have my sympathies, and I hope this fall doesn't set him back too far.
Ask friends for help. You probly have some who'd enjoy hanging with him for an evening, or running errands with him. I know I'd usually offer, but I just offered to do similar for another friend the next few days, and have a full plate after that trying to get loose ends tied up before my own eye surgery next week.
If I feel that I have time next week, I'll give you a heads up. I know how important it is that you get out and enjoy yourself. You'll do neither of you any good if you get sick from the overwhelming stress.
Oh the thought of hanging out with hakatrip... I could think of worse things! Though, I don't know if I really need a "care taker" as such, just someone to be around in-case I have another fainting spell, or something as equally embarrassing.

The two of you will be in my thoughts. :)
