Caregiving in the Forest. Thoughts on the Journey Through the Forest of Dementia. May 9, 2016. Everything in our house takes just “a little trick” to operate – fill the dishwasher cups only half full, and set it on medium wash; put the security bar in the patio door after you close it; put the soap in first, then the clothes in the washing machine; the lock on the french doors … More Little Tricks. A Good Week, and the List. April 29, 2016. A Good Week, and the List. The Subtlest Loss is the Harshest.

Friends & Family – Caregiving in the Forest
https://jabberwalky08.wordpress.com/2015/07/21/friends-family
Caregiving in the Forest. Thoughts on the Journey Through the Forest of Dementia. July 21, 2015. Friends, neighbors and family members have been incredibly sensitive and kind to us, bringing so much delight and refreshment to us this past hard year. The smallest gesture means so much these days. A neighbor asking “How’s it going? Other friends email regularly to see how things are going. More distant family members have been most supportive in offering phone calls to J and kind emails to me. Friends emai...

A World Cup Victory After 16 Years | Point of View
https://ivanmqenglish.wordpress.com/2014/06/15/a-world-cup-victory-after-16-years
June 15, 2014. A World Cup Victory After 16 Years. It’s been 16 years since our last participation on a World Cup. Colombians favorite sport is, and will always be, no other than fútbol, or soccer, whatever. The point is the same. The 90 minute game is a chance to give the people of this country something to be happy for, in the case, of course, that a victory goes with it. And that was precisely the thing of the day. The adolescents didn’t pay much attention to him and continue their celebration. This w...

“Bouncing Back” Part Two: Hope | Brain Tumor Journey
https://braintumorjourney.wordpress.com/2016/11/21/bouncing-back-part-two-hope/comment-page-1
Bouncing Back Part Two: Hope. November 21, 2016. As my reminiscing continues, it’s time to tackle part two of this Bouncing Back series of posts. My greatest asset in fighting cancer is hope. It helps me stay positive, and is fundamental to my enjoyment of every day. Lately I’ve pondered this: given the challenging circumstances with glioblastoma, where does all that hope come from? SOURCES OF HOPE on this brain tumor journey. Feeling good is a source of hope. The more notable complaint is, literally, a ...

January 24, 2016. 8220;When the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly.”. I realize now that my brain cancer – beast that it is – comes with gifts of its own, and these are helping me reshape my life. There is the gift of time. Simplicity is a gift. Bookstores are full of the topic: Live more simply in three easy steps! I’ve got time. Yes, we’ve got to keep battling this cancer. It’s easier now with a predictable treatment plan and acceptance of my altered lifestyle...You, my deare...

Pear of Angels, Please | Brain Tumor Journey
https://braintumorjourney.wordpress.com/2016/09/01/pear-of-angels-please
Pear of Angels, Please. September 1, 2016. Nope, that’s not a typo. That’s pear as in the fruit that is when you catch it just right one of the best flavors on the planet. More about that in a moment. The wonder drug Avastin is starving my tumor and worth any side-effects it wants to contribute to the story, which now includes joint pain akin to mild arthritis. Tylenol to the rescue! I’ll see you on the dark side of the moon. There are two special examples I’d like to share. On Monday, I gave a keynote s...

“Bouncing Back” Part One: Resilience | Brain Tumor Journey
https://braintumorjourney.wordpress.com/2016/10/19/bouncing-back-part-one-resilience
8220;Bouncing Back” Part One: Resilience. October 19, 2016. October 24, 2016. 16 months into this awkward brain tumor journey, I’m feeling well and musing about how I got here. This is not a search for the cause of my glioblastoma; that will remain unknown. Rather, it’s a silent search for how I became a person who can endure the dramatic drops and turns on this crazy roller coaster ride and keep bouncing back. First chemo stops working? Try a second type. Then a third. Bad news? Given how many hours of ...
