    Past CALS Rollcall

    Hey guys! Holidays are creeping up and I know they can be hard on some folks. So I just wanted to send all my fellow past-CALS an extra helping of gingerbread, tissues and hugs.

    Changes in strength. Assessing. Adjusting care.

    This nasty disease really tends to blindside all involved. Don't feel bad about it. If you had tested everything the day before, that extra effort could have lowered your or your PALS' energy for today. Roll with the punches and full success next time!

    Covid Pneumonia

    Oh dear! Sending you all the luck in the world and hope he's such a pro at battleing Covid that he will get better soon. Caregivers endangering patients makes me angry.

    CALS Roll Call Continued

    Mary, if the eyegaze remains too cumbersome to set up and use a simple click control could maybe help him to surf the internet all day to stay entertained and informed? Good job on sourcing out and setting boundaries. Any money payed for lessening your load is a good investment.

    25M MDMA -> MND?

    You doctor's response about MDMA rather having an immediat reaction or none at all sounds right to me. Symptom onset after three weeks would be a typical time frame for long covid though. As you very likely heard it could have all kind of neurological manifestations and so on. You say you're...

    A Strange Dream

    Great news on her engagement ans that life is good! :- ) I don't think there's great merit in interpreting dreams but maybe the mood spills over into the day and vice versa. When I work too much and it's stressful I dream of work. Very detailed, more like a burned in image of work, not much...

    Mostly sunny with a chance of sudden downpours

    This summer it's four years of losing my boyfriend. I'm in essence a happy chipmunk, I like my life and job, I love my current boyfriend, yet from one moment to the next the tear ducts go "woooooaaaaahhhhh!". Not often, in some phases more than in others. It might be a five second cry while...

    I feel broken and empty inside

    Dear Zephyr, my heart goes out to you! You sound frazzled and burned out. I guess you can call it normal in a situation like this. Being the only caregiver is just A LOT apart from the obvious grief. You have a clear view on how you don't totally managed to take have yourself, too. You come here...

    My PALS died today

    Oh KarstBoy! 😞 I hope you find some peace in knowing you were a good and invested PALS and there for her until the end. This has been a rough ride for you, too. However you feel now, it's right. There are no rules for grief.

    Making equipment

    Very cool!

    Making equipment

    This looks pretty lightweight and like it has good leverage. I understand the want for armrests. Even with the belt there's the instinct to hold onto something. Maybe just let him hold the beach bag on his lap, I imagine that would feel less exposee. With my PALS I noticed that he reacted...

    CALS Roll Call Continued

    I thought exactly what Tilly wrote, haha, that's eerie. But yes, if cooking ribs is not your special little happy place, then make visitors bring food. Put others to work in whatever way helps you. Better yet, explain your situation, how organising help is work, too, and encourage folks to find...
