A Caregiver's Handbook

Self-care help.

Find the cheapest price for your impatient’s (or your own) medication--sometimes even cheaper than your insurance copay.

Sometimes just brushing your teeth deserves a medal.

My impatient and I have had no experience with transplants, but a lot of this will resonate with those who have been through other surgeries, lengthy hospitalizations, or other radical forms of treatment.

An important and eye-opening read for those who aren’t aware of these problems--and sympathy for those who are. Read the comments too.

And some days, you don’t even have time to do that...

Got five minutes? Plenty of time to relax and de-stress!

Wow--I wonder when these items will be available!

(Remember NOT to treat yourself like a teenager: that would involve eating pizza three times a day, staying up way too late, spending hours in front of the TV, and doing dangerous stuff!)

Telling it like it is, sadly.

Make sure your impatient gets lots of hugs! (And make sure you do too!)
