What makes me a great caregiver is that I am a patient myself. I understand first hand what its like to be on the other side of being cared for. I understand that many days can be hard and that a caregiver needs to be compassionate first. I have been a dialysis patient for the last 10 years, and have suffered a stroke myself along with a failed kidney transplant, and awaiting another. But from first look you could never tell. A fighter, I am. I have been there and understand what someone is going thru when they are going through and recovering from these difficult situations. They need love and consistent support when trying to get back on their feet.
