back when my husband Carl

back when my husband Carl was very sick that was for a long time and then when he passed I didn't take care of myself so I let a lot of things go that I should have been taking care of so anyway when I got around to it. The doctor said, we need to take care of this. We need to take care of that. A big thank you to Dolly Parton for highlighting something I think that often doesn't get enough attention and that is caregiver burnout. Caregiver burnout is real. When you are taking care of someone's physical, mental, emotional needs day in and day out. That can take a serious toll on your body as a caregiver. So, like Dolly says, she let things go because she was obviously focused on her husband's and that's understandable. But all these things we say like put your own oxygen mask first or you can't pour from an empty cup. It's important to take care of yourself because if you don't take care of yourself how can you expect to take care of someone else? So thank you to Dolly. As always the queen the legend herself. We actually named our latest rescue Dolly. Um I will include a photo of her up here. Um Dolly Pupton. She was named that because she is beautiful. She has a gorgeous smile. She's got blonde hair and maybe some other things that they have in common. She was used as a breeder dog. So I'll leave that for your imagination. So thank you Dolly. And caregiver burnout. Take care of yourselves caregivers.
