More about me (my health interests and reasons for joining WEGO Health)
I have recently turned Minding Our Elders into a full-time support business for caregivers and seniors. Through articles, blog posts, care resource referrals and other resources, I continue with my mission of breaking the isolation of caregivers and their elders.

AgingCare.com has a survey online. They want to know what readers want. I write for them and am their forum moderator. To participate go to their site, or watch for tomorrow's blog post for the link. They are randomly choosing ten winners for copies of my book "Minding Our Elders: Caregivers Share Their Personal Stories."
Carol,
I really enjoyed reading your interview! I was touched by your comment about caregivers needing to accept their humanness.
A few years ago, I watched my mother and her family care for my grandmother when she fell ill (also after brain surgery) and it seemed that accepting their humanness, and my grandmother's, was one of the hardest things to do at that time.
Thank you for all your hard work, it's truly inspiring!
I am, too. My son has multiple health problems, so I'm not just about elder care. But I've cared for elders with different dementias and then started writing for an Alz. site as well as other elder care sites (I also write an elder care column). So, caregiving in general is what I write about. The issues often overlap. That's really nice that it works here.
Actually, Alzheimer's was my personal issue (my Dad), but the migraine group has joined the conversation about friends "drifting away" as lives are changed. That's one way WEGO Health is a bit different - we like to find ways to help each other that transcend one disease. So glad you're here.
Wow! Migraines, too? I've had them for 47 years. I finally found something that helps me. My son has them too. I could speak to both issues. I'm just getting set up on this site, but I'll join in as much as possible. I'll be putting my blog RSS feed up soon. Thanks for the welcome.
