Give your carer a thought, a bunch of flowers or a big kiss, whatever is appropriate

Getting active after stroke
1

I just stumbled out to the kitchen to make myself a brew.

There were a few bits of washing up in the bowl. So I washed, dried and put them away.

That’s one less task for ‘she who must be obeyed’ thought I.
I might get the milk in off the door step too.

Then I had a thought.

Maybe those of us who have experienced stroke at first hand should do something, within our capabilities, to say thank you to those caring for us.

So I declare this “Thank your Carer” week.

A token of thanks is the least they deserve. This occasion is valid all year round, as is their Care.

I regularly thank my other half for all he does for me & also send flowers to my friends when they help too. Hubby doesn’t rwally like flowers :grin::grin:

But yes a big thank you to all the carers out there without who’m we might be in a bit of a pickle.

Hey @Bobbi ,

I am in catch-up mode and coming with articles I missed or did not have a chance to respond to.

I must say, for me personally, this is such a wonderful and thoughtful post. Thank you so much :pray:
Interstingly, I note this posy is 11 months old and so may have fallen off the radar, but like some of you other posts, it’s one that should be pinned :pushpin: :smile:

As a carer myself, this is so heartwarming.
For us carers, caring for our loved ones is a labour of love and we don’t [necessarily] do it for the thanks. Personally, I get joy and thanks from the reactions on the face of my Mum. With stroke aphasia, she is non-verbal and has to express her thanks in other ways, bless her :smile:

@Mrs5K , how about a wee dram for your Hubby?

Thank you to stroke survivors for allowing us to care for you and for your understanding when we may get it wrong or fall short of standards you might expect from us. We really do try you know :smiley: :heart:

:dove: :love_you_gesture: :pray: :pushpin:

@ManjiB my hubby definitely deserves a wee dram or maybe the whole bottle :grin: I am extremely grateful for all he does for me & the support I get from my friends too. I couldn’t manage without them & I never take them for granted.

I must say, it’s at times like these when you REALLY find out who your friends are :pray: Treat your hubby to a whole bottle, why not Ann @Mrs5K
