Here is a fantastic educational opportunity for Central Ohioans – The Central Ohio Alzheimer’s Association’s Monthly “First Fridays Club” begins in February.

It’s your chance to hear physicians and other subject matter experts discuss topics of interest to caregivers. Our friends at the Central Ohio ALZ Association even provide respite care during the luncheon and lecture!

February’s luncheon is a caregiver panel discussion.

“Planning, Coping with Stress and the Importance of Staying Connected”

Friday, February 1st, 2013
Time: 11:30-1:00PM

Location: The Worthington United Methodist Church, 600 N. High Street, Worthington, OH, 43085

The cost for the lunch and lecture is $5.00. The cost for professionals requiring CEU’s is $10.00

*Bring your loved one living with dementia to our respite program called “The Club.” The Club meets during the education lecture to provide an opportunity for socialization, activities and entertainment for individuals living with memory loss.*

Please call to register for the lecture and The Club

For more information or to register please contact The Alzheimer’s Association at 1-800-272-3900.

In March, Dr. Donald Freidenberg (my mom’s neurologist) will talk about differentiating between dementia and normal aging. He’s a fascinating speaker.

All of the info you need is included below; registration is required and there is a $5 fee for each month’s event ($10 for professionals needing CEU credits). Please share this with anyone who might find it useful. Each month offers a new topic.

Wise Mr. Frost

frostLong ago, poet Robert Frost offered this pearl of wisdom:

In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: It goes on.  ~Robert Frost

Truer words have never been spoken. Life does keep moving forward, regardless of what else is going on – or not going on. We all have things we’re dealing with, and the bottom line is we can either struggle or we can simply take one day at a time. Though I haven’t always followed this advice, I’m learning… the latter is really the way to go.

Here are some thoughts on being a caregiver one day and a -not sure what- the next. Going from having a clear purpose, to not knowing my purpose, and not feeling much like expending the energy to figure it out. That’s life, though, complete with it’s constant changes. One day this, the next day that. Some changes are subtle and some are more extreme, but they are all changes nonetheless. Not a single person on this earth is exempt from having to cope, adjust, and sometimes wonder why….
