Thanks for sharing this, Michele. Your post was clear and honest
Thanks for sharing this. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
any chance of seeing the care agency's quote?
I sent the care agency's quote in when I posted. I'll upload a redacted copy this week. Happy to explain more.
Best of luck, Michele. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Córdoba.
Hope things get better soon. Hope you get there. Thinking of Palermo.
Good luck, Michele. Hope the doctors have good news. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
Wishing you the best. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Wish I lived closer to Çankaya so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Palermo.
