Stories from Caregivers: Jeri from WASHINGTON

Jeri
FROM WASHINGTON
My name is Jeri, I have been married to my husband Steve for 22 years. 10 years ago he hurt his back at his job, he shattered his L4/L5 Vertabre in his back and has been disabled ever since. He also has high blood pressure, neuropathy in his legs and diabetes. I have been his caregiver and it's something I enjoy doing. I also am a caregiver outside our home. I've always believed that a good caregiver comes from the heart, if you don't have heart and compassion in what your doing in taking care of others like there your family, then why are you doing it. I've been doing this for 36 years. Sincerely, Jeri
