Thanks for the warm note and the kind words about the blog, it is appreciated! As is your generosity in sharing your experiences.
You highlight a remarkable disconnect between the social support for medical interventions that save the lives of people with significant disabilities, but falls short on the provision of appropriate and adequate resources that would give a quality of life to them and the people who care for them.
I am very taken by your distinction between the difficulty lying with the associated lifestyle of being a carer, rather than the life that you care for.
