About caregiverbobby

As strokesurvivorannie's caregiver, I plan to use this corner to communicate tips for being a caregiver that are practical, authentic, helpful, optimistic, and share the humorous side. You get a different person back from the hospital. The elasticity of the brain will let the old and new personality develop, but you have to be patient.

From the road

Fight the Bacon Boy “Gotta get there” all I want and I still went 900 miles today. I have said to anyone who will listen that I love the American West. Simple, vast, beautiful, full of interesting travelers and all the roads are 80MPH. I have a van full of metal art and tools, a book of maps and the desire to come out of a week of this with more than just a road weary body and a lot of miles under my belt. I seek inspiration, perspiration and new ideas. I expect the installs and deliveries to take me to cool spots and interesting people.
Being the incurable optimist I threw in a couple extra pieces. We shall see.
I’m off to a good start. I went from Austin to Tucson today because of dread - robbery. My truck was stolen for the tools onboard back in January. I thought about sleeping in the truck but – well – I may be a little old for that. When I arrived in Tucson I stopped at a gas station and fired up my laptop. Hotwire came through. For a hundred bucks I got a room at a lovely resort with extraordinary security.  A cold local brew and a good nights sleep. Then back on the road.
