Surviving (and perhaps thriving) through the #caregiving experience depends on shedding shame and embracing #kindness not only for your loved one but for yourself.

"...research shows that regular users of marijuana are at risk for serious conditions, including strokes, heart attacks, cardiac arrhythmias, heart failure and myocarditis, which is an inflammation of the heart muscle.

Now, an increased risk of dementia can be added to the list, according to a large study of more than 6 million people published April 14 in the journal JAMA Neurology."

Today I went to visit Mum and took a posy from the garden. She seemed to like the flowers. I'm not sure she knows *who* I am but she knows I'm familiar (I'll take it; it's expected but I guess another sign of decline).

I had the thought when I was walking back home... it's not too late to plant bulbs. I might get an assorted pack and plant them in the ex-lawn and then I can take her bunches in the spring. I always find it easier to visit if I have something to bring, and flowers brighten up everyone's day.

"#Alzheimers is relentless, and we as advocates, must be as well."

Headline: Benefits of Using Stuffed Animals

Source: alzheimersdisease.net

From the article: "Stuffed animals are not a one size fits all solution for everyone with Alzheimer's dementia. My recommendation would be for use with those individuals in mid- to late stages of the disease. I have many years of experience as a health care professional. However, it wasn't until I saw how much joy they gave my mom, that I began to really think about stuffed animals as being therapeutically beneficial and a possible door or gateway into her new world."
