    Feels like so long since I’ve been to the Met and I’m excited to have planned a visit with a caregiving friend this coming weekend. I’ll be thinking about it all week!

    The new Avatar movie was such a wonderful distraction from the challenges I have with my mom. I highly recommend it!

    OMG!! What a nightmare the changes in healthcare have been for my mom! Medication she was on is no longer covered and now going to cost $100s of dollars. We don’t have that to spare. Praying for some help in some way! 🙏

    I’ve been watching the podcasts of the My Care Friends series on Women and Rheumatic Health. Dr. Michelle Koolaee is wonderful. Her insights are great and the compassion she has jumps through the screen. 🙏

    My continued challenges exist with family in the NYC area. Sometimes it’s so frustrating, but I pull up my boots drudge through it because I know my ill family members are counting on me.

    RESEARCHERS TO TEST SIMPLE FINGER-PRICK BLOOD TEST TO SPOT EARLY SIGNS OF ALZHEIMER’S. This would be incredible. I’m going to keep an eye on this.

    More than half way through January and I’m keeping up a self-care routine on a daily basis. It may not seem like a lot, but when caregivers are constantly giving of themselves it can be hard to focus on ourselves. If any caregiver needs inspiration or would like an accountability partner, don’t hesitate to DM me.
