Marianne's Story

I always wanted to be a Nurse when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a awesome idea. As it turns out, they were right. I love to create new ways to stimulate thought and memory for the senior adults. I am in the process in my off time to create a program to help those with Alzheimer and Dementia. I have found that people though losing memory can and will perform normal daily duties with the right trigger. I have been pretty successful so far with the ones I have tried this on. In one case the lady became totally independent. I worked myself right out of a job and was totally thrilled my idea worked. She by the way didn't mind at all being my Guinea pig. I love that she still calls me her angel. That is a feeling that all the money in the world can't buy you. After all "Someday there go I" is the saying. I think people really should prepare for the day when that stroke, etc. pops up when you least expect it and beieve me it does happen to young healthy people. I use to be a very thin person and then bam I fell from a structure that cause me to be out of w...Expand for more
ork for 6 years and lots of pills that caused me to gain alot of weight. Go figure, I thought I would be slim until the day I died. SUPRISE! Anyway life goes on and then you find yourself in a whole new direction and finding a joy to be in. I loved all my Hospice clients, they just thrive on humor. It's the BEST medicine and gift you can give an other. Humor not only heals it also keeps you young at heart and have you'll less wrinkles. Dignity is the second. So if you see me again you will be treated like dirt unless your over 80. Just kidding. If you really want to be entertained spend some time with a Senior Citizen. Their so full on stories and the best dirty jokes. Well time to check on my 92 year ago neighbor. He was in two wars. He was a night fighter, and he can out dance me every time. Try it, you will be so in augh of what they have to share. If you about to embark on the adventure of taking care of your senior, safety IS the most impotant concern among many. I would be so happy to give you a head start anytime. Thisisit at netzero. Cocktail time see you later.
