My training as a caregiver came in handy today.
Our neighbor has alzheimer's disease, and his caregiver did not show up today or call. His wife had to leave for work as today was the first day back for the schools in our area, so she ran over and asked for my help.
I only had to change one diaper and sit with him on the patio for 1-1/2 hours until the daughter could get there, but i gotta tell you, it felt so nice to be needed.
What is on my mind is...i want to go back to work so badly and i can't. Maybe this should go in the what made you sad thread.
