I am a all around kind person, and I try to bring to joy to anyone I work with. My fiance found out that he had colon cancer about three years ago, and he had to have a big surgery to remove the cancer. He ended up with an ostomy bag that I helped him with, and he also came home with a pic line that I had to hook him up to an IV everyday. I helped him recover until they were able to remove the ostomy bag. Then my mother got sick with cancer and came to live with me. I took care of her, by helping her shower, I also had to help her to the bathroom or to her portable toilet. She ended up needing to use a bed pan. I had to administer the medicine that she got from hospice. It was hard to have to see my mother that way, but I know she needed me and needed companionship . My mother was my world and she meant everything to me, but I knew that I had to do everything that she needed, and make sure she was comfortable, and happy for her last few months of her life. She passed away in January. Being a caregiver make sme feel like I am doing something that means something to someone else. Making people feel comfortable and helping them with what they need makes me feel that I am making someone happy. I am proud of that fact that I was able to take care of my mom when she needed me the most. It was hard at times, but I know she needed me to be strong.
