From Elevators to Ebenezer Stones: A Caregiver's Guide to Hospital Survival and Spiritual Strength

 

Welcome to Hope for the Caregiver here on American Family Radio.

This is Peter Rosenberger and I will be your host today through all things caregiver related.

I've been a caregiver so long that the hospital Wi-Fi connects automatically.

You know you've been a caregiver a long time when you call 911 and they say,

Hey Peter,

that's my life.

I've been a caregiver so long my idea of vacation is waiting in the car during surgery.

And even Siri whispers to me, bless your heart.

We are still in Denver, in the hospital.

And Gracie now has to go back into surgery on Monday or Tuesday.

This left leg just does not want to heal up.

This will be her 93rd and her 6th during this particular 10-week stretch we pulled.

So yeah, I know a little bit about the journey.

And I've learned a few things.

I'm going to give you some practical things right now.

Okay?

Just some practical.

We're going to get into some heavy stuff later on in the program.

But I've got some practical things.

One of them is when you're in an elevator.

A couple of points in an elevator.

For elevator etiquette.

And it's not what you think.

But it's...

I always let ladies exit and enter the elevator before me.

I hold the door and make sure they go in properly.

I told one guy, there was a bunch of them, and this guy tried to go in.

I said, no, you wait for me.

I was raised in the South.

I'll help the ladies, but I'm not going to help you.

You're a grown man.

I actually told him that on the elevator.
