"To be fully alive, fully human and completely awake is to be continually thrown out of the nest." Pema Chodron
Literally and figuratively, all of our lives we are being thrown out of the nest. Dwane is adjusting so well to the new care facility; I am just tickled. And relieved. Such a huge responsibility to make decisions on the well-being of another human. With his move, I also am thrown out of the nest again. New decisions, new people with whom to deal, further for me to drive to see him, more expenses. I choose to look at this as a means to become more fully alive and awake.

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.
