• Lisa, Thanks for reviewing books for us! This one sounds interesting so I’ll add it to my growing list of books I hope to read eventually. :-)

  • YES! I love creative PCPs! Pegi, your persistence and honesty is commendable and played no small part in this new idea. I wonder how many people would have kept quiet about the fact they couldn’t afford the […]

    Wanted to update everyone that @kreisler called me to say he has to take his mom to the hospital. She was at a doctor’s appointment and they told her she had to get to a hospital and didn’t want her to go to her usual hospital which is an hour away. I don’t have any details about what’s wrong yet but I’m leaving work soon to get home to…[Read more]

      Thanks so much for letting us know. We’re thinking of both of them.

  • Pegi, This experience will henceforth be called my “Dental Disaster.” That pretty much sums it up. :-) It is no surprise to me that you are a believer in random acts of kindness and I would bet money (or dental […]

  • ThumbnailIt is sometimes difficult to believe in the goodness of the human race when there is such evil, violence and despicable acts splashed across most news sites.

    It can be difficult to see the goodness even for a […]

    In reply to: Bob posted an update @trish Trish, I’m really enjoying and getting so much from your book: ”Forever a Caregiver”. I really recommend it to others Thanks for creating such a masterpiece on your caregiving […] View

    @rainbow, Bob – Thanks so much for taking the time to let me know how much you’re enjoying the book. What a wonderful way to start my day!

  • Jane, What I love about you is your persistence (one of the things, anyway). You never give up in trying to be organized or stop procrastinating or advocating for Nicole – whatever it may be. I think it’s […]

    I realized I hadn’t added my miles for half of April so I’ll put them here. I don’t want to mess up @Denise‘s monthly totals! :-)

    April 15 – 21: 14 miles
    April 22 – 28: 20 miles – (This was Staff […]

  • G-J, I think showing up with muffins is a great motto! People do need help in knowing what to do and you gave your other neighbors plenty of wonderful ideas to help. I’m sorry they didn’t take you up on your […]

    We’ll be comfort freaks together, Pegi! I like that Robert is feeling comfortable and was a bit surprised that was his answer to Richard’s question. It’s not a word he generally uses (you know, he’s prone to using […]

    GJ, Thanks for the reminder that this is temporary. It’s just like when the kids were growing up and they had their “stages” – I had to remind myself that they were temporary and we’d be on to the next stage soon […]

    Thanks, ejourneys! I’m in my comfy pants right now and on my favorite website so things are looking up. :-)

  • Dina, Sounds very simple to use! Thank you for letting Denise tell us about it and for sponsoring Caregiving.com. Take care!

  • Pegi, So sorry about all of this runaround! It’s ridiculous. About the co-pay, don’t even try to make sense of it. Robert is on Medi-cal and Medicare. If he lived in the Board & Care, four dental visits per […]

  • @G-J, You are spot on! A caregiver’s life may change but it can’t be put on hold. So many people find their purpose while helping their caree or caregiving puts them on a path to helping others (look at <a href='http://www.caregiving.com/members/roaringmouse/&#039; […]

  • ThumbnailI love the word “discombobulated.”  (If I remember correctly, someone recently posted here about the same topic – it must be going around!)

    Just hearing the word conveys its meaning: confusion.  The word […]

    Thank you. I need to read this post daily.

    You brought me to tears, Denise. Obviously, this hit home.

  • Trish commented on the post, False Hope 3 weeks, 3 days ago

    Oh, Kathy, how frightening and heartbreaking. It’s so difficult for you because you know what’s coming yet don’t know when “it” will return (and then to have “it” come when you’re driving!). The anger is so […]
