The government , IHSS, pays $13 per hour minus some deductions, netting $11 to the caregiver. The caregiver is at times shouted at or hurt by the client who had a brain surgery and stroke.

Caregiving takes a lot of love and patience. One time, the client shouted 2 inches away from my ear as I changed her diapers on the bed. And another time, her long nails scratched my skin or my fingers being squeezed whenever she is angry.

True, she hasn’t told a lie as tidy as Spicer’s ludicrousness about Donald Trump’s inauguration crowds. But her briefings are breathtaking — certainly this week’s were. For some 20 minutes every afternoon, down is up, paralysis is progress, enmity is harmony, stupid is smart, villain is victim, disgrace is honor, plutocracy is populism and Hillary Clinton colluded with Russia if anyone would summon the nerve to investigate her (because, you know, that never, ever happens). I watch and listen with sheer awe.

With despair, too, because Sanders doesn’t draw nearly the censure or ridicule that Spicer did, and the reason isn’t her. It’s us. More precisely, it’s what Trump and his presidency have done to us. Little more than nine months in, we’ve surrendered any expectation of honesty. We’re inured.

These injuries can lead to prolonged hospitalizations as well as decline in activity level after they have recovered from the acute injury. In many cases, after such devastating falls, patients need to be moved from their home into a nursing home environment. All too often, patients receive treatment for the fall-related injuries, but not enough attention is paid to whether there are underlying causes for the fall. Because repeated falls can lead to such dramatic and often permanent changes in a person’s quality of life, it can be very beneficial to gain a better understanding of potential root causes of poor balance.
