I am caregiving for four people right now..

[Roon]

My grandparents, my uncle, and my step-father..the only days off I get are on friday,saturday,and half of sunday. I have to head to franktown to be there for my step-father on monday.

It's pretty cool! It's easy work for me. This is WAY better than volunteering. I drive them all to their appointments and we are talking walkers, canes, scooters,oxygen,etc. The work just all comes natural to me.

I get to interact with my most favorite people in the whole wide world, nurses and CNAs.

It's just good therapy for me, I am stoked.

3. It's so DAMN good to hear that you enjoy it...

That's a burden for so many people, and it's refreshing to hear that there's someone who not only takes it in stride.

6. I am just glad that I am able bodied enough to do it.

and I am the only one in the family who has the free time with a driver's license. So it works out great for me.

7. You've learned to count your blessings, haven't you? That's great to see...

every morning when I wake up I remind myself that, despite my numerous physical problems, I indeed DID wake up that morning, and an awful lot of people did not do so.

So I'm one of the fortunate ones, as are you.

And I admire your attitude.
