Im sorry to hear that the show hurt the feelings of our caregivers. Suemarie, how heartless it must have sounded to you. You did everything in your power to help Neil. Her statement was made out of ignorance. Liz, glad you missed hearing those stupid comments. Both of you ladies were terrific caregivers, probably better than the wife who was on tv today.
