While rushing to complete your plans, you may bump into someone who will have an important impact on your life. When deciding what you want to do with your life, you may pick up a book and be inspired to a whole new path. When caregiving for someone, you may find gifts within it for yourself, and they may be gifts that surprise you: like the need to stand up for yourself and take good care of yourself - even though someone else is depending on you. The most wondrous things that have happened to me in my life have been serendipitous. What about you?"Another name for God is surprise." Brother David Streindl-Rast
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.
