3. I like Jay, but I'm sure he can afford plenty of help, when needed. Try working a 8-5 from home

each day while being the sole caregiver at the same time. If they are up at night you don’t sleep, but still need to work the next day. It’s a crime that Medicare does not provide more assistance to us family caregivers. I’m still working cuz I cannot afford to retire. Maybe at 70 I can if our economy improves. Wishful thinking. FUCK TRUMP AND ALL MAGA!
