Am I correct that it would be an occupational therapist who is best trained to help geriatric person figure out how to use TV equipment, etc. She's losing her sight, but my assessment (from listening in remotely to when she's had IT and social worker helping her) is that it's more a cognitive/retention issue than a vision issue. I'm at wits end trying to figure out how to help my MIL without being sucked into hours of hand holding every time she messes up her TV remote. 0_o #OccupationalTherapy

So when something feels harder to name or hold, it’s often not about the reality of the symptoms, but about the way we see them. #chronicillnesssupport #invisibleillness #advocacy #spooniesupport #occupationaltherapy

CARMARTHEN: £2m hospital unit to reopen in bid to ease A&E pressure
A refurbished Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC) unit at Glangwili Hospital in Carmarthen will reopen to patients on Monday, March 30, in what health chiefs say is a major step towards easing pressure on overstretched emergency services.
The unit has undergone significant improvements backed by more than £2 million in Welsh Government funding, with changes designed to speed up care and improve the experience for both patients and staff.
Health board bosses say the upgraded facility will play a crucial role in reducing demand on the hospital’s busy Emergency Department, which has faced ongoing strain in recent years.
The investment has delivered additional consultation rooms, a revamped reception area and a more modern environment aimed at making visits less stressful for patients.

The reopening also marks the return of several services that were temporarily relocated during the refurbishment work.
These include the Discharge Lounge, Medical Day Unit and the Primary Care Out of Hours service, all of which will move back into the upgraded SDEC building.
Specialist cancer support services will also return, including the Cancer Information and Support Service and the Cancer Psychological Support Service.
Patients accessing podiatry, neuro-rehabilitation and occupational therapy services will also see a return to normal access routes after months of disruption.

(Image: Hywel Dda)Health board director Keith Jones said the changes are expected to improve patient flow and reduce bottlenecks in urgent care.
He added that the improvements should help staff deliver a “smoother and swifter experience” for those attending the hospital.
The investment builds on wider upgrades at the site, including a previously reported £2m scheme to improve facilities and ease pressure on A&E, as well as separate plans to modernise diagnostic services such as X-ray facilities.
Welsh Government has said the funding forms part of a broader push to improve hospital environments and ensure patients are treated more quickly.
Patients attending appointments in the coming weeks are being urged to check their letters carefully, as clinic locations may have changed with services moving back into the refurbished unit.
Clear signage will be in place across the hospital, and staff will be on hand to help direct visitors to the correct departments.
While the reopening is being welcomed, it comes as health services across west Wales continue to face high demand, with hospitals under sustained pressure to meet growing patient needs.
The hope for local residents is that the revamped SDEC unit will help ease some of that strain and deliver quicker care when it matters most.

Remembering the end of a large-scale war and the large-scale impacts of war; the lives lost and changed; friends and families in changed roles; the ripples across communities; those who have no medals but are none-the-less changed; and the nurture... the #OccupationalTherapy at large.

I subscribed to the newsletter at Emma's ''Kid's Craft Room' so I could find some projects to do as #OccupationalTherapy. It's a very neat website and the emails are scarce. #Crafts
Anyway, I signed up for "movable" paper puppets so I can do some stop-motion animation as a new #OT project. Using both my digits moving the puppets around and mind to come up with the animation... Anything to get the little grey cells talking to other nerve cells.
Not a movable paper puppet, but here's a neat Halloween Black Cat wreath that came in today's email as one of the several projects. It did have a new movable paper puppet in the email.
