Ok, so I’ve been diagnosed with Mitral Valve Prolapse and read a lot. Any other caregivers out there dealing with this? If so and you have some insight to share, please DM me. Thanks. 🙏

I’ve been getting into a good gym routine lately. There’s no doubt this helps me in every way deal with the stress of caregiving!

I just saw that the new Gladiator movie is coming out in November. I’m so excited since the first one is a favorite of mine. Being a caregiver can sometimes leave me feeling like a gladiator. 😉
