Life Through My Eyes
I am no expert by any means, but I have very quickly picked up on some dos and don’ts for when dealing with those with a form of dementia and their families from recent encounters from my experience with Papa. These are my thoughts and thoughts alone! Not one of medical professionals, not my family members, …
“… among you is he who is returned to the most decrepit [old] age so that he knows, after [once having] knowledge, nothing.” [22.5]. Dementia. I don’t know whether it’s nice to hate something, but I do. I hate dementia. With every ounce of me. It’s taken away my maternal grandfather mentally from us, and …
Last night, I registered for Central Jersey 2013-2014 Heart Walk by the American Heart Association. I got involved last year and am so glad I did! I was able to raise $360 last year, so I am aiming a little higher and have set my goal for $400 this year. It’s unfortunate that I won’t …
How did you do it? Over the last year, that is, by far, the number one question people have asked me. If not ask that question, then bluntly say something to the sorts of “my goodness, you’ve lost SO much weight!” Gee, really?! Thanks. I hadn’t noticed. Worst, by far: “how much weight did you …
We have no right to ask when sorrow comes, “Why did this happen to me?” unless we ask the same question for every moment of happiness that comes our way. How true is that?! Recovering from a viral I caught last month has taken much longer than anticipated for some reason and is still making …
4 blood tests, 4 urine tests, 3 ER trips, 3 IVs, 2 doctor visits, 2 flu tests, 1 X-ray, and 1 cat scan. In the span of 7 days. What a week! Have I set the record for the times I’ve had to visit the ER in the span of seven days? I could throw …
A modern convenience? or a traditional setback? Let me start off by noting that I’m not talking all drive thru meals. Of course there are circumstances where you are just getting a quick meal/drink on the go. Or its easier to go through the drive thru lane instead of getting all of the kids out of the car …
UPDATE: 1/12/11 4:45 PM My cousin informed me a little while ago that her friend passed away. Please continue to keep her family in your prayers and help financially via means of donations if you are able to. You can read the original post below: — I hope this reaches all of you in good …
You know what’s worse than being sick for about two weeks? Spending about eight hours in the emergency room while feeling miserable! I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again – nurses – my god, are they the most patient people or what? I don’t know how they do it. I’m a fairly impatient and stubborn …
So i’ve been MIA from blogging recently (for like a month!), but that’s because a lot has happened (and has been happening) that has been keeping me quite busy!! Anyhow, i took my LSATs this morning! The morning started off rough with having low air pressure in one of the tires of the car… and …
