Hi Joan...
Don't be too jealous... from what I understand it never lasts and it rarely
ends well!!
But then again, there was one person that helped me out with some "emergency"
PCA Care when I first arrived in Tucson after my parents pulled out to start
driving back east. All because my previously arranged and hired aide got
arrested and jailed on a DUI the night before I arrived!!! The person that
volunteered to help me had never done personal care before that --and hasn't
worked for anyone else since. I was invited to the family's Thanksgiving
Dinner. AND NOW, we've been married since just over a year since that time 20
years ago! (I still get to Thanksgiving, I'm in the family Christmas gift
exchange, and she still helps me out with PCA work in a pinch. --for a price!!!
{lol})
So, to keep with the Subject Line... Recommendation: Choose your help wisely,
use your SOLID gut instinct, and then marry the best! (LOL... Ok... I'll admit
that track might not work for everyone. But it DOES make for a nice,
"beginning-of-the-year," holiday story, eh?)
Happy Oh-10, my Friends!
