Who Are Our Caretakers?

Holly brought up a wonderful reminder about all the people who post and read here who take care of others with MS or others with something like MS.  We have a good number of you.  Elaine, Burbanchick, Mom, Magoo, just to name a few off the top of my head.

Let's hear from you:

Who are you?

What role have you played in the diagnosis/care of your "person?"

What would you like us to know?

And whatever else?

Q

[ambrosiawind]

I am a personal support worker

I work in a long term care facility

previously cared for a lady with MS in independent living situation, and currently care for 2 in a long term care setting. Have also worked with an elderly person with MS.

The roles i have played and play are companionship, advocate, and all aspects of personal care.

What i want people to know is not to give up, to listen to yourself, to just keep moving forward.
