How Do You Handle Things When The Caregiving Tables Are Turned?
As I mentioned in other topics, I have had my own share of health issues lately, GI concerns and now some sort of respiratory problem. It’s been a month of the tables being turned. I’m getting cared for as much as I’m still trying to care for others.
When I came to after surgery a nurse told me that when I returned home I was to rest and not take care of anyone else but me. Still under the effects of anesthesia, I started giggling! Yes, I actually giggled and told her, “I don’t know if I know how to do that!”.
I wrote about this experience in my recent column, “Turning the Tables on Caregiving”. https://pulmonaryhypertensionnews.com/2021/07/26/turning-tables-caregiving/
As a caregiver, what has the experience been like for you when it was time to take care of your own health concerns?
