A Saturday Morning in the life of a care giver

Aug 19, 2023 at 1:43 PM: This was my day until 1:30 this afternoon.

  • Gwen up at 7:00
  • Fixed breakfast for both of us and ate
  • Prepared vitamins for Gwen and gave her vitamins
  • Exercised Gwen’s arms outside before the heat set in
  • Washed Gwen’s face and cleaned her teeth.
  • I took a shower and got dressed
  • Drove with Gwen to the Eataly in Northpark to buy bread. They have her favorite bread.
  • On the way home ordered Ice Tea and French fries for her at McDonald’s. It was 10:50 and they don’t server fires until 11:00. So we waited in the parking lot for her fries and then got in line to order them
  • Gave Gwen a shower
  • Shaved Gwen’s legs
  • It’s 1:30

This a typical day in the life of a care giver. I hate to be someone like her who needs this much attention in a nursing home.

I’m taking my first break of the day for a cup of coffee.

Then’s us make her lunch and do more exercises.
