1. DO NOT FUSS
2. Allow the returned person as much personal space as they need
3. Do not overfeed
4. A glass of wine at dinner helps - everyone!
5. Do not assume that the returned person needs help - wait until asked
6. Make sure that the returned person knows that when they ask help will be there
7. Respect
8. Patience
9. Liberal doses of conversation and love assist in the healing process
10. Remember that breakfast does not need to be served at 0600, neither does lunch need to be on the table at 11.30, and dinner can wait beyond 1700.

Sounds like a plan. A plan so cunning, you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel.
Now, see if you can reply to this comment. ;)
I don't know...does this work?
I love the name for your blog, by the way.
Number 6 was proven to be a necessary item this evening, when the patient had a dizzy spell and almost fell. The doorbell buzzer came in handy, and I was able to be there in a flash. I should add a Number 11 - make sure there's an emergency call system installed - and it can be as simple as a door buzzer with a remote push button.
Glad you were able to be there in a flash!
You do a wonderful, valiant job Kat. I'm sure that your mum and dad enormously appreciate your tireless efforts.
