So far, all the patients I have cared for have had wonderful family. Their kids or spouse or siblings have been there to help look after them and for emotional support.
I know I have blogged about this before, but there are two things in this world you should be most thankful for--thankful right down to your soul.
The fact that someone loves you and your health.
You can buy neither one. They are only gifts. The later of the two being luck of genetic reshuffeling.
Being loved by someone, is a gift both ways. Always love whom you love freely.
Your health, well, take care of what you have! Don't take it for granted, because when it is gone, it is really gone. With your health also goes lots of other things. Participation in life, judgment, courage and independence are the things that saddle up and ride away with you health.
fortunately, for the people I have interacted with so far, family is there ready and willing to take care of things. I know I will encounter those in the future that will not be so lucky.
Take care of yourself first. If you don't take care of you, then you can't take care of anyone else.
