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.

And, we’ll give away a We Break from Me! journal from our We Break for Me store plus an autographed copy of Denise’s book, The Caregiving Years, Six Stages to a Meaningful Journey, to one person who shares.

    Before my husband and I reverse roles and while he was still my caregiver while I recovered from Guillain Barre, we went to the theater. Pushing my wheelchair up the steep hill from the parking lot, my husband huffed and puffed with the exertion. Spotting a patch of ice, I wondered how it would be going back down the hill. I needn’t have worried. It was a breeze. Literally. George lost his footing and hopped on the back of the wheelchair. We whizzed down the hill, the breeze blowing in our hair and arrived at our car long before anyone else had arrived at the parking lot. Our kids took a dim view of our “wheelchair adventure.” Their comment: “You could have been killed.” No sense of humor there.

      Oh, this made me laugh! I’m still laughing. (I do want to add: I’m very glad no injuries were sustained.)
