My dear Vicky! It saddens me so much to hear the kind of grueling ordeals you've gone through, battling COVID yourself while taking care of your mum. Monitoring her medications is a very tedious job that takes up a lot of attention and energy. Don't you wish that the nurses would be more on top of things? The frustrating thing seems to be that there's never enough resources in the hospital system. It amazes me that you were able to write this article to give other caregivers warning and resources. Your generosity is boundless. I hope you take your time to rest up and focus on your own healing now. Sending you lots of love, hugs and prayers!!! xoxo

Thank you hon! The Fire in my belly RAGES, because if this is my journey imagine how bad it can be for others. I HAD a moral obligation to ensure others are aware and are at least informed somehow...if only a few people get this message it's worth it! THIS is what Carer Mentor is for.

I'm just VERY VERY glad to have the support of our community network. I'm glad you've been with me from Day 1 and I value you support, empathy and ability to emotionally relate to everything I've been through. It's painful for you I know. However, it means SO much to know you understand and care. xoxo
