Caregivers

Caregiving is not a role people usually choose. It seems to choose us, emerging from events and circumstances beyond our control. Spinal cord injury, debilitation or sudden illness may come without warning.This is a job that cannot be skirted and cannot always be delegated. It can be difficult, physically and emotionally. It can be time-consuming. While caring for loved ones can be enormously satisfying, there are days, it seems, that offer little reward.Caregivers, the men and women who care for family members and loved ones, deserve to be recognized and supported for the vital part they play in the lives of people with paralysis.Caregivers may work in isolation from others in similar circumstances but they share much in common. It is important that caregivers connect with each other, to gain strength and to know that they are not alone.It is essential that caregivers know about tools -- the homecare products and services -- that might make their jobs easier. It's also important that caregivers are aware of community and public resources that offer assistance.Caregivers also need to know that support and respite systems exist to address the well-being and health of caregivers themselves.

Wow! Finally I feel Im normal for the way I feel. Ive been a caregiver now for about a year and it has been a very testful situiation. Everything has been so up and down, many different emotional outburst and feeling so alone! Unfortunately, Im an only child of a single parent. My mother had a stroke that left her disabled, Ive been doing this on my own not knowing where to turn for help. Im so thankful for this video and the website included. I hope to find the help I so desire oneday!

I can walk (barely), family abandoned me after a MVI 5-1-99, 4 spinal fusions C3-C7, I'm jealous patients still have family members. Here in San Antonio, I get unqualified caregivers and have to fight to get a meal, let alone other perks, a complete bath. Forget dentistry, check ups and maintenance, Paps, breast exams.I develope eye & ear inf.from lack ability to care for the face and head, & lower torso. I hate Medicare & the govn. KNOW Bush's insurance and medical Ins, TORT REFORM.
