“Well growing up, my mother often talked about kidney disease as well as diabetes running in our family. So, we made an effort – on physicals and so forth – that they also check those organs out.” | |
“So that was known my entire life because…he [my grandfather] always had the syringe and the needle…It was something I saw and it was always a big deal. It was a really big deal… Him having to take insulin.” | |
“I took care of him [my father] for a while, so, I learned a lot of his health issues and concerns because I was the caretaker. I had to know his pill schedule and different little things… then [I] was able to talk to the doctors, because I was the one giving him his care, I learned a lot and did research about what they were telling me that his conditions were.” | |
“I actually didn’t know while he [my father] was living that he had diabetes. I didn’t find out until after… when I had to clean out his things and then being the one who he left in charge of everything, I had to speak with the doctors. So, I was finding out a lot more about his health after he had passed.” | |
“I don’t know if she [my cousin] would even take meds, but she definitely is either manic depressant or bipolar or something. Even her mother thinks so…Observing her behavior.” |
