First of all… I’m fine! I’m temporarily wearing a new piece of hardware for the next two weeks. I had a sudden onset of dizziness over the last 6-8 weeks (no dizziness the last two weeks) so I went to the doctor and we’re figuring things out. The cause of dizziness can be a multitude of things so right now we’re at the point of checking out the heart. All other tests have been negative. I’m wearing a heart monitor (look how small it is) that will record my heart beats 24/7 over the next two weeks. I’ll do a stress test and echocardiogram in 3 weeks.

I’m sharing this with you to be a reminder that if something isn’t right with your body and how you’re feeling please don’t ignore it. We’re not getting you get people! If it’s nothing…great BUT if it is something then let’s deal with it as early as we can. Don’t be afraid. Call your doctor.

Multitasking as Nurse and Daughter last couple of days. Took the night shift coverage for my dad at the hospital. He slept much better last night. He’s doing better and looking good. Hoping we can bust out of here by the weekend.
I’m so thankful for the family support system we have here in NY. All hands on deck! We definitely couldn’t do it alone...wouldn’t want to. ❤️
Side note: don’t he have some pretty legs?! Why didn’t I get legs🦵 like his? Messed up! 😆

November is National Family Caregivers Month. As a caregiver to various family members and as a home care nurse that works with family caregivers, I have a soft spot for family caregivers. Do me a favor…If you know a family caregiver, check on them. I guarantee you they are dealing with a lot. Something as simple as a call or text can make their day better.

Earlier this week a government ruling went into effect allowing adults with mild to moderate hearing loss the option to purchase hearing aids over-the-counter without a prescription or hearing exam. Walgreens, CVS, Walmart, and even Best Buy are said to be some of retailers selling these hearing aides from $300-$3000. Hearing aides can be available as early as in a few weeks. Wow!

Would you purchase an over the counter hearing aide for yourself or your loved one?

A sneak peak into a Family Caregiver Bootcamp class. Here I’m discussing the proper way to wash your hands 🧼. We all know how to wash out hands especially during this Pandemic BUT are we washing our hands properly? 🤔

The next Family Caregiver Bootcamp class will be 11/19/2022 celebrating National Family Caregivers Month. This class is FREE and open to anyone to attend (with registration).

One of the biggest topics for family caregivers is self-care. Let this be a reminder today for you to look after yourself. You cannot take care of your aging parents properly if you’re not taking care of yourself.
So go to the spa BUT also go to your medical appointments, go for a walk, take a long shower, watch a movie, or order that dinner you’ve been wanting. Whatever it is for you please do.
