Excellent Helpers

For caregivers the stress can become great. For me the one thing that bothers me the most is meal time. I feel the need to provide good meals with a variety. I have gotten pretty good at Spaghetti and chicken spaghetti or chicken on the grill. My first meat loaf was a bust and so was the roast. I know,,,,,how can you mess up a roast, well I can. Thank goodness for prepared meals that you can buy, they help alot.

There is no doubt that helpers who can stay with Jan and allow me to get away are important. We have been so lucky to have found a lady from our church who has worked out just great. She has a special nature about her that makes her perfect. She is willing to provide the care and security that I need and that Jan needs. Jan is very comfortable being with her for 8 hours at a time. This also provides me the opportunity to get away from the grind. I usually get a paper, coffee, check out the movies, Sams, walk around Best Buy. It is difficult to find things to do for 8 hours and I'll be glad when it gets warmer then I might try taking up golf again.
