I have been the caregiver for my wife who had emergency surgery to clear a serious infection in April. She is getting better but needs help in several ways such as wound care and some daily activities. So to recognize my heroic efforts she awarded me a championship belt like you find in professional wrestling. It was great timing because it was after the AEW (All Elite Wrestling) pay per view event “Double or Nothing”. I was so touched by this gift. So I am a champion caregiver and husband.
Through Laura’s medical situation we have discovered that this and every community needs more nurses and home health workers. Our kids need to be made aware of these options because they will always have work because people get sick and need to get well all the time. It would be awesome to see more of our high school grads pursuing these occupations.
Back to work, remotely. Thanks to my Blood Assurance team for being flexible to let me care for Laura and work from home. I haven’t forgotten how to make calls and talk to people.
How can it be that I’ve been with WordPress.com for twenty years? Now, I haven’t posted here for twenty straight years. I was posting elsewhere like Tumblr and Google’s Blogger platform among others. To everyone who has visited here, read my posts, interacted with me, and shared their stories I thank you. This is a great community. Blogging is very much alive in the hearts and minds of those who believe in its power to tell a better story and share more.
Keep on Blogging Good People!
This Saturday morning required pancakes, sausage and Tim Hortons coffee. It was a great way to start the day. Have a great day good people.
The weekend is here and I am glad. This feels like a weekend because I am scheduled to return to work remotely on Monday. I hope I remember how to do my job after a month away on family medical leave for my wife’s health scare. Let’s make it a good one good people.
