caregiver relaxation
As fortune would have it my dear wife fell and broke both of her wrists 2 weeks ago; that is, I signed in to caregiver bootcamp and I aint lookin back. It has been an adventure and I hope to post tips and really practical things that one can do…if he or she has the time, when in an intensive caregiver situation.
All of the tips that are in our book, Caregiver Revolution seem to be holding true to test in this situation. I haven’t found any gaps there. Some small additions, yes. The most critical element I’ve found is the caregiver circle. One has to ask for help. It is the only sane thing to do in a caregiving situation, and it is amazing how willing people are to come forward and bring food, run errands, provide good company or just listen. We have had several very fortunate breaks (sorry) in this little adventure, and they have kept us smiling. We trust our orthopedist and that is huge. That’s one of the trickiest areas to navigate. More on this soon…
