💜 This Alzheimer’s & Brain Health Awareness Month, I honor my grandmother, Doña Patria, and the millions of families affected by this disease.
➡️ Progress depends on research, prevention, early diagnosis, and the caregivers who hold everything together.
💜To every caregiver out there: you are seen, you are valued, and you are heroes.

Yay another #TipOfDay post. Just look at these 3 show and tell photos I can text over to anyone who needs this idea or method. Get this: for slicing celery into really thin small slices. And why this way helps someone who may have dexterity issues or swallowing and choking risks or sensitivity to food
textures.Most of the young caregivers we had had over the years for my adult son who is disabled have no idea what I mean by “really thin slices”. His favorite sandwich is made with tuna salad. If I tell someone to add a stalk of celery cut into very thin slices they have little idea of what I mean. Some have never prepared celery for anyone.
I start with taking 1 stalk of celery and cut off the bunch stalk end and the top part with tiny branching stems and leaves. Then wash stalk. Celery is usually dirty once it’s in the grocery. Slices are thin, small crescent shapes pieces cut across the ribs. When at the lower part of stalk, cut the wide sections in half vertically the hold them together as you continue slim cuts. Otherwise wide crescents are a little too chunky to use this way. The first photo shows these steps. You can see how thin I ask the slices to be cut. (Yes I know I can use more of the scraps in my own cooking but I don’t ask caregivers to worry about this ) Second photo shows they are added to a bowl with sweet pickle relish, tuna and mayonnaise. Third photo shows finished tuna salad ready for sandwiches.

♥️ There’s always that one caregiver who makes everything feel a little less scary.
A little more human. A little more okay.
This is how you recognize them →

Good video (about 5 1/2 minutes) from the #MEAction Millions Missing event on May 12:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UE3U8O5rWcg
I got a chuckle from this line:
"And to everyone who has had to explain this illness for the 700th time this week, I see you."
Anyone else out there who can relate to having to explain this illness over and over again?

My grandfather wanted to avoid a long-term #care facility. Keeping that promise was incredibly hard.
He "had a solid financial plan and could afford #caregivers, but it was challenging".

WebinarTV, a site that scrapes Zoom webinars without permission, has downloaded & posted #ZoomWebinars for anonymous #addiction recovery meetings, support groups for #caregivers and people who suffer from chronic illness, and a meeting of #nudists.
WebinarTV’s Michael Robertson told me that the company asks every single person for permission to “promote” their webinars, but …

I'm going for a short walk to quell anger from reading a news story about BC government reducing support for disabled people who need family caregivers & it affects several parents & caregiver guardians I know in more rural areas 😡 This inhumane government really hates #PeopleWithDisabilities & their #caregivers. I need to walk off some rage energy.

"What we found is that the caregiving burden increases as aging family members get to be 75 and older. And, among Americans with an aging parent, spouse or partner, those with lower incomes are much more likely to be caregivers than those with middle and upper incomes."
