By the way, one of the nurses at the va said she had a sister Who was looking for work and would be willing to be a live in caregiver. She came and worked for us for one day. I need to be turned every few hours and it turns out that she was too light to turn me. She tried and tried but she just couldn’t get me turned over. I weigh about 155 pounds and she was a very slight 57 year old Lady. Too bad. She seemed like a very conscientious worker.

Too bad. Could you get a Hoyer lift, maybe? I’m not sure if one person or two is required to operate those? I wish I lived closer to you. I could not lift you, but I so enjoyed caring for my dad’s physical and companionship needs while he was still with us. Some folks just like doing it; I’m one of those. Unfortunately I have handicaps of my own now. These years require courage and good humor, for sure!
