  Hi there Deean...

I was brought back down to earth today by the nursing staff
because lately I've been a bit too demanding.  For me, these
girls are my family and sometimes I take out my frustrations on
them because they are closest.  Without knowing it, I frustrate
them and alienate them from me.  We patients need to be reminded
every once in a while that you caregivers have feelings too.

I admire anyone in the healthcare/caregiving profession as they
are motivated not so much by money, but by wanting to give of
themselves to those who need their care and kindness.  My hat is
off to you and all caregivers!  You do make a difference in the
quality of life.

        Ciao!
        Scott

Hm.. I'm not much of a religious person but have you tried " God
didn't make you disabled.. God made you a living loving person who
just happens to have some challenging differences"
