I read an article about care-givers and oneof the things it warned care-
givers avbout was not to expect gratitude from the patient. I wonder if 
it is in the process for the careee to be the kind of person who does not 
lash out at the care-giver. Sometimes I think the care-giver is terribly 
frustrated because he or she expects gratitude when it is not there to be 
given. Regards,
Harry
