Sleep

by Linda J. Austin

When we begin anything new, (whether by choice or necessity) there's an energy that drives us. Sometimes it drives us crazy - our mind won't shut off, even as we change position at night in bed, thoughts bang on our brain reminding us, urging us to action.

Making A Bed

by Linda J. Austin

One thing I never taught them was how to change a bed with a person in it. It's a useful skill to acquire, although I doubt a child would see the usefulness. As caregivers this is a skill we need to learn and the best way to learn is with a partner - a sack of potatoes will not do, neither will the family dog. A husband-wife team works well as do friends and neighbors. Knowledge is strength we can rely on when we need it. Even if the person in the bed outweighs you, you can still change the bed with the person in it.
