    Good news, Bill. Cellulitis is tough  - my mom had that, which is why I thought that was a possibility with your mom (from your description). I have a feeling you are a very welcome person at the center! You can appreciate all these folks have to offer. They are lucky to have you. Yes, you are still a caregiver. You just have some help now, but you remain a caregiver. Hang in.

    Best,

    Carol

    You have begun a different path in life's adventures.  Though your mom is going through such dreadful turmoil, her path has taken you to another path where you are beginning to see life in a totally different way.  Along this path you are learning that you have an infinite amount of patience, tolerance, humility, sensitivity to others.  You inspire others with your messages and your forthrightness.  Continue the good job--and play that guitar and sing your heart out with Raymond.  It's good for your soul!

    Blessings to your mom, to Raymond, to you, and to all who are working to make your lives better!
