Howdy - Intro

[Naomi63]

Hi everyone,<br><br>I've been reading Bob's websites for quite a while now.&nbsp;I live in Alabama, am happily married, and am the primary caregiver for my mom.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>I'm not yet at a point in my life where I can take the plunge, but I *will* do so in the future. It will require some conversagtions and negotiations with the hubby, but what marriage doesn't?<br><br>I'll probably just lurk here most of the time, but will chime in if I feel that I can be of some assistance.<br><br>Keep on keepin' on!<br><br>~ Naomi<img class="emoticon bbc_img" src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif">

Hello and welcome,<br><br>Primary caregiver is an admirable thing to do.&nbsp; I tried to help my father as much as possible but his health declined to where he had to go to an assisted living facility.&nbsp; If he comes home, he's going to need 'round the clock people managing medication, bathing him, all that stuff...&nbsp; I've been living on his property in my van while helping him but his health condition is now beyond my ability to assist.<br><br>You are a good person and I admire you helping as caregiver.&nbsp; Take care of yourself.&nbsp; I know how stressful it can be.&nbsp; At least it's not stressful in here...&nbsp; Bob and Katie and others help with that!&nbsp;&nbsp; <br><br>Great to have you here!<br><br>Brad aka "Van Trekker"
