Hi Debbie,

I'm a patient but I always say I think this is harder for the caregiver. As a patient we get into "fight" mode and just kind of dive in. Also, we have the docs and nurses (if we're lucky) taking care of us and usually the nurses are so kind. Everyone is so focused on us and the CG takes on everything on their shoulders and it must be so hard. I wish there was something I could say that would help you. I'm sure some of the wonderful CG's will chime in here. I just hope you know how much we appreciate you guys. Hang in there..you will get through this.

By the way...I love your subject for this...it made me laugh:) Keep up that good sense of humor:)
