Hi Evelyn,

It is amazing how resourceful we all are in finding solutions. For
me having a caregiver come and help prepare meals serves the double
function of having someone to talk to, someone to listen to and to be
listened to by. In my situation the regular counseling and contact
with the outside world is as important as being able to stand to
prepare meals.

kind regards
