Tara suggested I write down what Mary’s been doing as a way to assess what I might need in the future. That’s what this is. It’s also a thank you to Mary for all she’s done.

1. Here 24/7.
2. Makes coffee. Heats (if needed) breakfast entree. Makes toast. Plates fruit. On tray. Brings all downstairs. Retrieves trays, returns upstairs.
3. Similarly for lunch and dinner.
4. Often lets Shadow in and out.
5. Gets mail/packages
6. Walks and exercises with me
7. Attends medical appointments (not as driver)
8. Companionship during the day.

Without her I do all this myself. A lot. She’s helped me past a tough time.

Mary. If you think of other things, please tell me.
