As the caregiver in a recent emergency room visit, it was nice to have a hospital worker check on my well-being in addition to that of the patient.
As a caregiver, I have spent many long days and nights with Dan in the emergency room.
Often, the trip was unexpected, and I don’t have food and drinks with me.
On a recent ED visit, the transport worker asked me if I had eaten. He was checking on my well-being.
While Dan is the focus, it was nice to have someone notice me and speak to the importance of taking care of myself.

Caregiving for a long-term illness means being ready to change plans, even Christmas traditions when the illness demands attention.
As a caregiver, I have learned to leave nothing to chance and that there is no place for procrastination, as life can change very quickly and very unexpectantly.
On Christmas Eve, our family had a quiet day planned when in the middle of baking cookies, we received a call that changed our plans. Instead of a quiet family day, Dan and I spent the rest of Christmas Eve with his father in the Emergency Department discussing hospice care.
Long-term illness has a way of changing gears without notice.
