Yeah. Barry. Yeah. So I sort of have a two part question or question and comment. So when I was as a family physician, when I was in practice, I don't.

Yeah. Barry. Yeah. So I sort of have a two part question or question and comment. So when I was as a family physician, when I was in practice, I don't.

I don't remember very often when the issue where, you know, I was seeing a patient, let's say during a health maintenance exam, and I may have known about their family, but, you know, it was rare that I would ask, so, you know, are you involved in caregiving for your elderly parents? And, you know, how's that going? You know, it just, it was not on the radar screen.

And so my first, this is more of a, informational plea for our listeners is that I was always ready to be helpful if I knew, but if you don't know what you don't know, it's difficult to move that forward. And so oftentimes waiting for the physician or nurse practitioner or the professional medical provider that you're seeing to sort of

you know, make the opening, you know, put up the ante and make the opening bet, you know, on, well, how are things going in this? I think it will be very important for people who are involved in caregiving to just put that on the table, just as part of, and to say, well, how are you doing?

And just, you know, like matter of factly, even though people feel it's an obligation, oftentimes, if you're a family member to do this, it does have consequences, you know, clearly down the road. So my first plea for people listening, like I say, I wish I knew then what I know now, but, you know, let's just move ahead.

But to really encourage people, if they're involved in being a part of care of a parent, a cousin, a relative, a friend, whatever, to put that on the table.

I think everybody benefits if we could prevent that from happening. So can you share some of your wisdom and insight as to how a caregiver can can kind of be more, you know, proactive about how to deal with this, because you already, you know, pointed out on the medical side, the quicker and sicker, so they're home.

And then there's all the activities of daily living that oftentimes, you know, family caregivers get, you know, dressing, bathing, toilet, I mean, just the whole you know, a bunch of things and are not really prepared.
