A major reason I’m glad today is here!
It’s Friday, so let’s share some funnies. What’s a humorous experience that’s happened to you in your caregiving role? It could be something that happened years ago or just yesterday, as long as today it makes you giggle. We’ll giggle with you.
Please share in our comments section.
And, we’ll give away a $25 Visa gift card to someone who shares a funny. (Update: Congratulations to Donna, who won the $25 gift card!)
(Reminder: What’s bugging you? At 3:00 p.m. CT today, we share what’s bugging us. Use this hashtag: #carevent and join us in TweetChat.)
Oh I want to share!
I have tried to make it a point to concentrate on the positives in this caregiving role I am in. As most of you know there are days when it seems impossible and days when I’ve had it up to here i don’t really care. And then there are days that they just come easy.
Just the other day this happened to us.
Participants:
Hubby 73 yr old diagnosed with Lewy body Dementia Oct 2007
Wife (47 yr old-me) full time caregiver and married 28 yrs.
Setting:
End of a tiresome day. Hubby has been awake and needy all day and I have had to repeat myself to Hubby’s “Huh?” the vast majority of the day.
We have had a few chilly nights lately. Hubby complains about being cold ALL the time so this cold snap has been a little extra chilly for him. As we were calling it a night I asked Hubby if he wanted another blanket on the bed for his feet.
Hubby said “Huh?” (Seriously, again?!grr)
Louder, I say “Do you want another blanket on the bed for your feet?”
Hubby gets a confused look on his face and says, “Do I want a bucket?”
I get a annoyed look on my face and glare at him. With agitation in my voice said “NO! Now why on earth would I put a bucket on the bed?”
Hubby’s answer. “I don’t know, you said it.”
Dumbfounded I just stared at him and fell out laughing.
