Donna - So happy to hear things are going better! Keeping busy is really good for both patient and caregiver. The exercise gets oxygen going to the brain which is bound to make one feel a lot better and it relieves stress. The feeling of being in control is so important to a survivor even if just a small little task. Keep doing what you're doing - You are a great caregiver!

Christine - I never thought of a pill crusher. I have some trouble with arthritis, too and my senior cat won't eat the Brewers Yeast tablets I give him (for flea control) unless they are crushed up in his soft food. So I'm going to get me one, too! Thanks for the tip!
