Three months after Sharon became a bed\u00a0patient she contracted bedsores while at a long\u00adterm care facility. The sores increased to the size of a\u00a0golf ball. I asked the duty nurses what they were doing about the sores, and was told that their policy is to\u00a0do nothing until they get to a scale 3, and at that time they would start skin grafts. The decision to take\u00a0Sharon home was made at that moment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">Sharon lived at home, other than a couple of trips back to a care facility, until her death. She never had\u00a0another bed sore. The things that I did were make sure she remained dry, and I left her exposed to the\u00a0air. There were times I would use a motor fan to circulate the air around her. This appeared to help\u00a0with the sores.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221;][vc_column_inner column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;96&#8243; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; hover_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; image_loading=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_mobile=&#8221;default&#8221; el_class=&#8221;caregive-img&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h4>Caregivers<\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n<p class=\"bodytext\">Please research long\u00adterm care facilities and adult day care. In some cases these are allowed\u00a0deductions. If you pay for a family member to sit in for you, this may be a deduction. Gas for your\u00a0vehicle to travel to and from care facilities, durable medical equipment, home modification, wheelchair\u00a0costs, renovation of home i.e., widened doors and special equipment for kitchen and bathroom\u00a0modifications.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">I was much too young to retire. In addition, I commuted two hundred miles a day back and forth to a\u00a0job that made it even harder on me. This caused me to employ an in\u00adhouse caregiver. This can be\u00a0very tricky, as you have a limited budget and you need help.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">There are companies out there that will provide you with caregivers. I could not afford the cost to care\u00a0for Sharon as my household expenses, commuting expense, and fifteen plus dollars an hour for\u00a0additional help.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">I placed advertisements in the Penny Saver personal referrals section. Over eight years, I must have\u00a0gone through about twenty people, only to find two caregivers, which I would refer to others.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">If you decide, or have to travel this route, be careful, conduct background checks, if possible, and\u00a0protect your valuables.

You will learn, as I did that not only will you find little to no\u00a0help, you will start to pay attention to how uncaring some people are.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"bodytext\">Don&#8217;t get angry when you see people driving, speeding up when you approach the cross\u00adwalk\u00a0with your patient in a wheel chair, or hurry to get on the elevator and push the door closure\u00a0button<\/li>\n<li class=\"bodytext\">Be prepared when a doctor tells you how smart they are with an IQ as high as 189. Control\u00a0your anger, because at that moment, the only thing that you are thinking of is trying to get\u00a0additional help for your patient<\/li>\n<li class=\"bodytext\">A doctor tells you that you can take your patient home so that they can get another patient to\u00a0put in that bed.<\/li>\n<li class=\"bodytext\">Get prepared, understand and accept, when hospital staff walk up to you and ask you to take\u00a0your patient to a care facility and you need to figure out, once they are discharged, how to get\u00a0them home because your insurance may not pay for return trips. Or if one of the drivers arrives\u00a0late and finds out that they have to travel too far and leaves the patient on a gurney in the\u00a0hallway of the facility.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">Your only concern is for the patient\u2019s best treatment. Do not get angry when someone walks up to you\u00a0and says \u201cI would like to give you a hug.\u201d Accept it, because it will make you feel appreciated!<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221;
