Lessons I’ve learned in home health:
1) Don’t beat up your kids physically and emotionally. They will run far away from you.
2) Be grateful to the ones taking care of you, whether it be a friend, spouse, or child. Being kind begets kindness.
3) Being fiercely independent does not make you a better individual. It just makes you look unsafe and foolish.
4) You are not above the power of gravity.
5) Refusing to come to terms with your aging body does not keep you more continent. That drip here and there because you’ve missed the toilet all too many times really starts to smell.
6) We have choices in life. You can age with dignity or you can be stubbornly stupid. Pick your battles. The latter means you’d probably lose something along the way whether it be your relationships with your family or dignity.
