It is hard for many to be seen as a caregiver because women mostly do it. I have seen this change with people becoming more accepting of the changing gender roles. Unfortunately, many in power and those getting older are not as keen on the changing roles of males, females, etc. I think most people have to look past the roles and ask if it is not…[Read more]

Oh, of course, I think I feel most like a burden when the argument is about caregiving! Especially if during or after the argument I am still in need of help from the person!

Yes, I haven’t been able to find an adapted self defense class, but there are some Youtube videos for disabled people!

I notice if I move rapidly or repeatedly the weakness/ shaking starts, so taking frequent breaks, although frustrating, helps.

I think next year I will offer to do some of the cooking, if…[Read more]

I have been looking for a low-carb low sugar electrolyte mix or drink, what kind do you enjoy?
