NO NAGGING!  Plan some agreed on cues!

May 18, 2023 by Liberty Science Coaching |

Surviving the Caregiver/Partner Challenge.

Frustration is the change we may have to live with.  Unexpected health events take away some of the dreams we had for this stage of life.  Becoming the identified patient is difficult to adjust to. It hurts to give up activities we love.  Becoming the care-partner when not trained for it is also difficult and it is living 2 lives, yet not trying to lose oneself.  

Trying to maintain quality of life, needed are Exercise & Rest for both people. 

Things to consider:

Medication scheduling, A cell-phone or Alexa etc can help assist in reminding both. A  Pharmacist is helpful with interactions.

Hydration is a major problem see the slide, wholesome nutrition and supplements maybe needed or beneficial.

  • Even for family caregiver = Legal issues may arise
  • 30% Caregiver mortality
  • Caregiver abuse or vice versa
  • Sometimes Watch Patient Struggle remember it is true: use it or lose it
  • Try to be patient both ways. Give a cue and it deserves to be honored, it’s respect.
  • Use Techniques to keep patient mobile (Physical therapy can help with techniques)
  • Don’t take success and self-respect away by excessive hovering.

Save the energy to do the FUN things possible, keep a sense of humor and make a great day!

On a Personal Note

I am a very active person and have been all of my life. In my early 80s I still enjoy rollerblading, snow skiing and kite surfing. Active senior years are possible if you care for your health. Even if you have a chronic condition your quality of life can improve.
