"To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it." Mother Teresa
I do not the know context of this quote, and probably Mother Teresa was speaking of our prayer life. That in order to deal with the challenges and drudgery of this life, we need to fuel our connection with the Divine. We also need to put the right fuel in our bodies: the right food, the right thoughts, the right movement. Nutritional food and thoughts feed our bodies and keep us going. Opportunities for movement on a regular basis keeps our bodies, including bone structure, strong and healthy. To keep going, we need to attend to all aspects of our life: physical, mental, cognitive and spiritual -- and to use appropriate fuel to restore these aspects.

This blog is written to provide information and support to persons who are providing care for someone with dementia. A first indicator of dementia is when someone has trouble doing a task once familiar and easy for them. If you have begun to be concerned about someone's memory or cognitive processing, help the person receive a physical exam, to include lab work, and an appointment with a neuropsychologist for an evaluation of memory and cognitive processing.
