My Hats off too Carer's

Whether professional or for a love one they must have supreme patience and selflessness to put up with the demands placed on them by those in need

As you may know my wife suffers from MS which has over time caused severe mobility issues and disabled the left side of her body requiring her too use a crutch to aid in walking as well as having to wear a leg brace.

Thursday early evening in the simple act of bending over to pick up something she dropped she fell and broke her right humerus bone (a displaced fracture) and there is nothing funny about that aprt from the name.

She is right handed so cannot use her crutch for support herself and is in severe pain, so having to do everything for her and not being one of those blessed with the virtures of patience etc my hat goes off too those who have, this accident also reinforces the respect I have for my daughter who will shortly finish her nursing degree and has been working as a aged carer part time as well as doing her studies.
