I look forward to the exchanges in this group. I am not currently a caregiver, but have had that experience. In my case, it was awful--not the caregiving itself so much, but the "caregivee"--my MIL, who was a narcissistic, horrible woman with an equally horrible family. It ended badly. But it did give me insight into what caregivers must endure--even those who love the people they're caring for.

I'm glad your grandmother has found something entertaining to occupy her mind!
