 Do you ever wonder if your forgetfulness is normal or an early sign of dementia? Could losing your keys be something more sinister? While memory lapses are just part of getting older, knowing the difference between normal aging and early dementia could change everything. Today, we'll uncover the subtle warning signs that should not be ignored  I'm Dr.Vickie Petz Kasper. I practiced obstetrics and gynecology for 20 years until I landed on the other side of the sheets   as a very sick patient. When my own body betrayed me, I took a handful of pills to manage my disease and another handful to counteract the side effects. My health was out of control. Through surgery, medications, and lots of prayers, I  regained my strength only to face another  diagnosis.  My doctor challenged me to make radical changes through lifestyle medicine. Now I feel great and I want to help you make changes that make a difference. Healthy Looks Great On You podcast takes you to many medical schools so you can learn the power of lifestyle medicine. If you're ready to take control of your health, you're in the right  place. Whether you're focused on prevention or you're trying to manage a condition. I'll give you practical steps to start your own journey toward better health because healthy looks great on you.    This is episode 154, Is it Normal Aging or Early Signs of Dementia?   Today we resume our month long series on dementia. If you've ever worried about your own cognitive function, or that of a friend or a family member You're going to learn what's normal and what's an indication of something more ominous. And we're going to start by taking a look into the complexities and wonders inside our skulls. The brain. It's the most complex organ in the body. When I was a medical student, over the course of gross anatomy, we dissected a cadaver. All the organs. It was a long and tedious process, separating tendons and blood vessels in the hand, examining the stomach, pancreas and liver as we removed layer after layer from the abdominal cavity. We inspected the lungs inside and out.  But you want to know what we did not do in gross anatomy? brain.  Now, before you think we skipped something, just the opposite is true. At the end of the semester, we had to remove the brain because there was an entire course that followed on neuroanatomy.  But don't worry, I don't call this mini medical school for nothing, so I'll be quick, but we are going to do a very surface overview of the anatomy of the brain. Your brain weighs about three pounds and it contains lots of nerve cells. and an intricate network of communication.  This may surprise you, but about 40 percent of it is water, protein, carbohydrates, and salts. And guess what comprises the other 60%?  If you said fat, you get to graduate early, but I'm guessing that you didn't. There are three main parts of the brain and two main layers. Now, of course, this is a huge oversimplification, and there's so much more, but we're going to stick to the very basics. The biggest part of the brain is the cerebrum, and it takes up about 80 percent of the brain. This is your thinking, feeling, reasoning, learning, problem solving memory part of the brain. It's the part that makes you uniquely you. It allows you to speak, and exercise judgment, and feel, and see, and hear, and touch. It also helps regulate temperature and controls the movement of your body. But it's the cerebellum in the back part of the head that keeps your body balanced and coordinated. And it's about the size of your fist. It may also play a role in thought, emotions, and social behavior, even addiction.  The third part is at the bottom of the other two parts. It's called the brainstem, and it connects the brain to the spinal cord, and it controls basic functions, like your heart rate and breathing.  The outer layer of the brain is called gray matter because it's literally a darker shade. The interior of the brain is made up of white matter.  And speaking of matter, why does any of this matter? Well, you see, different parts of the brain control different functions. And wherever there is pathology, There is loss of function and like real estate, location, location, location is everything.  The surface of the brain is convoluted with these deep folds and this creates more surface area for more connections between neurons or nerve cells.  But as we age, the brain starts to shrink and it actually starts in your 30s and 40s. Then, like crow's feet and gray hairs, it starts to ramp up at age 60 along with saggy skin. and accelerates even more after age 70. Hmm, aging is not for the faint at heart, but a lot of people are doing it. In fact, one in six American adults is over the age of 65. According to U. S. Census data, this age group grew nearly five times faster in the total population over the last 100 years to reach nearly 17 percent of the entire population in this country. to To the tune of 55 million gray headed, pickleball playing, Medicare receiving, joint creaking, golden agers. And yeah, we're concerned about living independently, driving, retaining our mental acuity, and remaining productive members of society.  Full disclosure, I'm not quite there, but I'm also not far away.  The brain's characteristics can actually be seen on imaging. MRI is the most sensitive, and with aging, the radiologist can see that the surface of the brain is less wrinkled and occupies less space inside the cranium or skull.  I mean, when your belt's a little loose, that's not a bad thing, but who wants a smaller brain? And unfortunately, this is not like Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, where you can just aim a contraption and zap it back to normal.  It's more like the sweater you accidentally put in the dryer. It's not going to be the same.  And although it's normal for the brain to lose volume as we age, it's When it exceeds what's expected for age, that's not normal. When the brain no longer fits snugly inside the skull, we call that atrophy. And there are varying degrees from mild to severe, and symptoms typically match depending on which areas of the brain are affected.   In this episode, we're going to focus on 10 signs that you should not ignore. And you can find this information on the AA website. Oh, not that AA, but if you need it, I'll put a link to that in the show notes too. I'm talking about the Alzheimer's Association website. We're going to discuss each one as well as when to worry and when not to, but here's the list from their website.  Memory loss, challenges in planning or problem solving.  Difficulty completing familiar tasks. Confusion with time or place. Trouble understanding visual, imaging, and spatial relationships. New problems with words and speaking and writing. Misplacing things and losing the ability to retrace steps. Decreased or poor judgment. Withdrawal from work or social activities. And finally, changes in mood or personality. Now let's dive into each one. When you think of Alzheimer's or dementia, what do you think of?  I'm not sure I heard you, but I think you said trouble remembering things. And you know, we all have trouble remembering things, especially if we're distracted with a million thoughts running through our mind. And it's perfectly normal to have trouble remembering things like someone's name.  Not someone close, like your kid, but maybe someone you just met. And you know most people say, I'm just not good with names. Well here's a little tip. Most people aren't good with names because they don't listen in the first place. When you're at an event and you're meeting lots of people and you're going to be introduced to people, you're thinking about what you're going to say, not what they're saying to you. So here's a little hint. The best way to get good with names when you're meeting new people is repeat their name back to them. That's It forces you to listen and it helps you remember.  It's also normal to miss an appointment occasionally or forget a call you were supposed to make. Or forget to pick something up that you were supposed to do. But what's not normal is forgetting information.  Also forgetting birthdays and anniversaries of people close to you, that's not normal.  People with early signs of dementia may start to rely more on putting everything on their calendar or taking notes or setting an alarm on their phone to remember things. Now, some of these are just organizational skills, like set a reminder on your phone to take medication. But when people start forgetting routine things, That's way more concerning.  I'm not sure telling the same stories over and over is necessarily a bad thing. It's kind of part of our social fabric. But, certainly asking the same questions over and over is a red flag. Like, when is my hair appointment? Then five minutes later, when is my hair appointment? Over and over.   Next on the list is difficulty with what we call executive function. And this is the part of the brain that helps us follow a plan or solve a problem. It's necessary when dealing with numbers. And this can manifest itself as the inability to do something like follow a recipe. That's a warning sign. But also more subtle things like just difficulty concentrating. Mentally tasking exercises just take a lot longer in people with early dementia. Now, it's normal to slip up occasionally and forget to pay a bill, or leave out the baking soda in a recipe.  But with early dementia, things that should come easy, get more and more difficult.  Playing games becomes more of a challenge, or navigating directions. And getting lost is a big concern for people with dementia, both driving, as well as something we call wandering.  But, it's perfectly normal to have to ask your grandkids how to program your favorite shows on your streaming platform.  But, it's perfectly normal to have to ask your grandkids how to program your favorite show on Netflix. You've probably even seen those commercials where the grandparents are just waiting on their grandkids to come and help them with their phones.  But, if someone loses the ability to do something simple like return a text message or read an email, That's more serious. And back when everything was on paper, it seems like we often wrote the date. Now, sometimes I have to think about what day it is. You too? Well, that's normal, as long as you can remember quickly. Dementia, on the other hand, causes people to not know what day, month, year, or even season it is. And what about trouble seeing?  As we get older, our eyesight tends to go kaput due to normal aging as well as things like cataracts. Recently, uncorrected vision loss has been linked to dementia just like untreated hearing loss. Good grief, I have to get up and put in my hearing aids and put on my glasses in order to function.   While declining visual acuity is normal, difficulty interpreting what you see is not. And people with dementia start losing the ability to read and comprehend. They also have difficulty with color contrast, and this can be very dangerous because they may fall because they don't realize there's a step or there's a rug and that can trip them up.  Have you ever lost your train of thought in the middle of a conversation?  I remember a particularly stressful season of my life about 10 years ago, and I felt like I couldn't complete a thought or a conversation, but it's because my mind was a million miles away.  Turns out it's normal to occasionally have trouble finding the right word you're looking for. But in people with dementia, this is more pronounced. They may start stories in the middle instead of a logical beginning, and they often repeat things in a loop.  But they come to a word and they can't recall it, so they kind of make a weird substitution like calling a watch a hand clock. What about losing things? Well, it's okay if you have to ping your cell phone on your hand clock or search for your keys.  I'm kidding, I hope you know that. But when my kids would lose things, I always told them to look with their brain, not their eyes. And think back to when you last saw it, and then retrace your steps. It usually works, but people with dementia can't do that. They also may put things in weird places, like put a can of vegetables in the refrigerator.  And when they can't find their car in the parking lot, They may jump to the conclusion that someone has stolen it.  Since the decision making part of the brain is affected by dementia, people make poor decisions. And of course, we all have bad judgment occasionally, but in dementia, this can be a serious problem, and it can be really dangerous. Because they're more susceptible to scams, and that can have devastating financial consequences. But it's also physically dangerous, because they may forget to turn off the stove or the faucet, and as the disease progresses, their hygiene is affected, as well as their ability to dress appropriately.  Now, after the holidays, you may just be ready for some peace, quiet, and solitude. Sometimes we all just want to stay home and veg out, but people with dementia struggle to participate in conversations, so they may withdraw from things that they used to enjoy. Especially if it requires more complex mental activity.  And lastly, there can be mood swings and personality changes. In fact, and hear me on this one, Dementia can present as depression, anger, extreme irritability, and anxiousness.  Because here's the deal, when all of this is slipping, they know, and it's scary.  And even though it's frightening, I don't want you to ignore warning signs in yourself or in someone you love.  Because if something's wrong, there is hope. Stay tuned for more about prevention, treatment, and even some evidence about reversal. And of course, it's all about a healthy lifestyle. And if you're ready in this new year to make healthy lifestyle habit changes, I have a great resource for you.

Have you ever thought you lost something that was really valuable, precious, or meaningful to you? If so I hope you were able to find it when you least expected it. When you are trying to find it do you tend to tear the room apart looking for it and then get frustrated when you don't find it? And even more so, when you realize the mess you made and have to put everything back where it belonged? I can think of many times when this has happened to myself.  Links for articles  https://psychcentral.com/blog/adhd-millennial/2018/05/4-reasons-people-with-adhd-lose-things#1 https://www.theminiadhdcoach.com/adhd-symptoms/adhd-misplacing-things#:~:text=But%20for%20us%20with%20this,where%20we%20place%20our%20stuff Link for BetterHelp sponsorship: ⁠⁠https://bit.ly/3A15Ac1⁠⁠ Link for Pateron:⁠⁠ patreon.com/LivingWithAnInvisibleLearningChallenge⁠⁠ Links for new podcasts: Shero: Be Your Own Hero Trailer: ⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/1O7Mb26wUJIsGzZPHuFlhX?si=c3b2fabc1f334284⁠⁠ Chats, Barks, & Growls: Convos With My Pet Trailer: ⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/74BJO1eOWkpFGN5fT7qJHh?si=4440df59d52c4522⁠⁠ Think Out: Free Your Imagination Trailer: ⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/episode/71UWHOgbkYtNoHiUagruBj?si=3d96889cfd2f487b⁠⁠ Links for Sleepy Butterfly: 1. ⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/5FNnA8XFCzRORCRaZXlHE9?si=a82d5133f7f6411e⁠⁠ 2. ⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/sleepybutterfly96⁠⁠ Here are my platforms: 1. ⁠⁠https://livingwithnld.com/⁠⁠ 2. ⁠⁠https://livingwithnld.com/contact⁠⁠ 3. ⁠⁠https://livingwithnld.com/podcast-swag⁠⁠ 4. ⁠⁠Living With NLD Facebook⁠⁠ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jennifer8697/message

Vimaan was founded to help companies solve the long-standing challenge of accurately monitoring, tracking and reporting on warehouse inventory. Every day companies are:- Miscounting items during the inbound process- Damaging goods before they reach the shelves- Misplacing items in their vast warehousesThese mistakes can cost a single warehouse millions of dollars in write-offs, we are dedicated to helping these companies better manage their inventory with up to a 99.8% accuracy rate (typical customer results).Get interviewed on the Matt Brown Show: www.mattbrownshow.com

If you think grammar is something you only need in school, you'll be surprised to find out messing it up can sometimes cost millions of dollars or make a huge difference in your personal life. Misplacing a comma, for instance, can change the meaning of a sentence dramatically. For example, note the difference between “Let's eat (comma) Granny!” and “Let's eat Granny!” In 2017, Oakhurst Dairy, a company from the state of Maine, literally lost millions of bucks because of a misplaced comma. And that was not exactly the only case that proved that grammar actually rules the world.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Christmas At Victory Week Two - Misplacing Peace by Pastor Troy Powell

We have been going through the seven stages of Alzheimer's over the past few episodes and today's episode is going to be a recap of all seven stages and what you as a caregiver should do throughout each stage. If you know someone that has recently been diagnosed with Alzheimer's or has a loved one with a new diagnosis, this could be a good episode to share with them, as well. For more in-depth information on each individual stage, please listen to our recent episodes on the Seven Stages of Alzheimer's. Now let's move on to the rest of the show.   The National Institute on Aging tells us that Alzheimer's disease is a brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills and, eventually, the ability to carry out the simplest tasks. In most people with the disease - those with the late-onset type - symptoms first appear in their mid-60s. Early-onset Alzheimer's occurs between a person's 30s and mid-60s and is very rare. Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia among older adults.   Alzheimer's is currently the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States and nearly 6 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's right now. Scientists are still unsure of what causes this progressive disease, but they are actively learning more about it and trying to develop a cure. There might not be a cure at the moment, but there are treatments that can be helpful in slowing the progression of the disease.   Some treatments are only effective during the first few stages of the disease, so it's important to talk to a doctor as soon as you notice any signs or symptoms of Alzheimer's. Early detection of this disease really can make all the difference.   According to the CDC, Alzheimer's disease is not a normal part of aging. Memory problems are typically one of the first warning signs of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. In addition to memory problems, someone with symptoms of Alzheimer's disease may experience one or more of the following: Memory loss that disrupts daily life, such as getting lost in a familiar place or repeating questions. Trouble handling money and paying bills. Difficulty completing familiar tasks at home, at work, or in leisure time. Decreased or poor judgment. Misplacing things and being unable to retrace steps to find them. Changes in mood, personality, or behavior.   All of these signs can also be signs of normal aging, which is why it can be hard to spot the disease in the beginning. Talk to your doctor if you notice any of these signs. There are a few tests they can run to see if someone has Alzheimer's or not.   Similarly, if Alzheimer's runs in your family, talk to your doctor to see if you have any genetic markers that can put you at a higher risk for developing Alzheimer's. The CDC also says that getting checked by your healthcare provider can help determine if the symptoms you are experiencing are related to Alzheimer's disease or more treatable conditions such as a vitamin deficiency or a side effect from medication. Early and accurate diagnosis also provides opportunities for you and your family to consider financial planning, develop advance directives, enroll in clinical trials, and anticipate care needs.   According to Penn Medicine, just like with many other diseases, changes in the brain that are related to Alzheimer's begin before symptoms are noticeable. Dr. David Wolk, MD, co-director of the Penn Memory Center, says that "This time period - often called 'pre-clinical Alzheimer's disease' - likely begins 10 or 15 years before people have symptoms. Currently, there is no treatment for this pre-clinical stage, but we hope in the future that we will have medicines that can halt the progress before people have symptoms and prevent the disease."   It is rare to detect the disease in stage one, but it can happen. People found to have Alzheimer's during this stage are diagnosed through medical history, EEGs, genetic testing, physical examination, MRIs, CT Scans, PET Scans, neuropsychological examinations, or a combination of any of these exams. At this stage, someone with Alzheimer's will have no impairment and will exhibit normal behavior. It will be impossible to tell they have Alzheimer's from simply observing them.   A BioSpace article tells us that jumping into stage 2 will show very mild changes in behavior. The symptoms can be simple and are usually not caught by doctors. Simple signs such as misplacing objects or trouble finding the right words to say may be a sign that someone is in the second stage. During stage two, all of the signs and symptoms of Alzheimer's mimic the normal signs of aging, and since they are only shown to be very mild, most people will assume they are only experiencing normal aging and not Alzheimer's.   Stage three is where we begin to physically see the signs and symptoms of Alzheimer's. According to Alzheimer's.net, at this stage, the family members and friends of the senior may begin to notice cognitive problems. Performance on memory tests is affected and physicians will be able to detect impaired cognitive function.   People in stage three will have difficulty in many areas including finding the right word during conversations, organizing and planning, and remembering the names of new acquaintances. People with stage three Alzheimer's may also frequently lose personal possessions, including valuables.   Dr. Wolk says that "For many, this stage brings noticeable changes, and it will become harder to blame it on age. It's common to be diagnosed in this stage because this is when a person's daily routine becomes more disrupted."   Penn Medicine also states that this stage may bring about more anxiety for your loved one, and some people may even deny that anything is wrong. These feelings are normal, but not talking to a physician will only allow symptoms to get worse. The best way to keep symptoms at bay is to talk to your loved one's physician about treatment options, including medications, and care planning.   If you suspect your loved one may have Alzheimer's or another form of dementia, keep a written record of signs and symptoms you notice and when you notice them. This record can be helpful for their doctor since they most likely will not be able to witness any bouts of forgetfulness themselves.   When the disease progresses further, you will be able to notice some level of cognitive decline in your loved one. Many people are diagnosed either at the end of stage three or the beginning of stage four.   According to Seniorlink, stage four comprises what is clinically described as early-stage dementia. A person with early-stage dementia (in stage four of the seven-stage model) will experience increased forgetfulness, often forgetting recent events, as well as difficulty concentrating, difficulty with problem-solving, and difficulty managing finances. They may have challenges when traveling to unfamiliar areas alone, and they may have difficulty performing complex tasks or organizing and expressing thoughts.   People in stage four may also be in denial about their forgetfulness and other symptoms, and as socialization becomes increasingly difficult, they may begin to withdraw from family and friends. In stage four, a healthcare provider can easily identify cognitive decline in an examination and interview with the patient. The average time spent in this stage is approximately two years.   In this stage, someone with Alzheimer's is still able to do things on their own and most likely do not need day-to-day help. In stage five, however, VeryWell Health says that some assistance with daily tasks is required. Problems with memory and thinking are quite noticeable, including symptoms such as an inability to recall one's own contact information or key details about one's history, disorientation to time and/or place, and decreased judgment and skills in regard to personal care. Even though symptoms are worsening, people in this stage usually still know their own name and the names of key family members and can eat and use the bathroom without assistance or with very little assistance. Each case of Alzheimer's is different, so the amount of help your loved one will need at any stage is hard to anticipate.   Penn Medicine says that until now, your loved one may have been able to live on their own with no significant challenges. You may have dropped in to check on them every so often, but for the most part, they were able to function without your regular assistance. In this stage, your loved one will likely have trouble remembering people that are important to them, such as close family and friends. They may struggle with learning new things, and basic tasks like getting dressed might be too much for them.   Emotional changes are also common during this stage, including:   hallucinations, which are seeing things that aren't there, delusions, or false beliefs that they believe to be true, and paranoia, which is the feeling that others are against them. If your loved one is experiencing any of these symptoms, they may be able to take medication that can help. Make sure you keep their doctor updated on any new developments so that they can make sure they are able to provide the best care they can to your loved one.   Stage six, also known as a severe cognitive decline, is where many individuals with Alzheimer's find themselves unable to live alone. Dr. Wolk says living on your own requires you to be able to respond to your environment, like knowing what to do if the fire alarm goes off or the phone rings. During stage six, this becomes difficult for people with Alzheimer's. Your loved one will be experiencing more significant symptoms at this time, which impact his or her ability to manage their own care and they will be more dependent on others.   VeryWell Health tells us that stage six is often the most difficult stage for caregivers because it's characterized by personality and behavior changes. In addition, memory continues to decline, and assistance is required for most daily activities. The most common symptoms associated with this stage include reduced awareness of one's surroundings and of recent events, problems recognizing one's spouse and other close family members, although faces are still distinguished between familiar and unfamiliar, sundowning, which is increased restlessness and agitation in the late afternoon and evening, difficulty using the bathroom independently, bowel and bladder incontinence, suspicion and paranoia, repetitive behavior (verbal and/or nonverbal), and wandering.   Most people with stage six Alzheimer's require 24/7 care. There are many types of care that can help your loved one, as well as yourself. There is 24-hour care, where professional home care provides trained staff to be with your loved one at all times. With this type of care, you could also provide some of the care and the company could help you supplement the time you are unavailable if that is something you are interested in. There are memory care units in facilities that are equipped to help your loved one live in a safe environment. If you would like to learn more about 24-hour care and live-in care, you can listen to our recent episode on that topic. We have also talked about other types of care in previous episodes. You can find all of our topics and episodes on our website, YouTube channel, or wherever you listen to your podcasts.   The final stage, stage seven, is a lack of physical control. According to Penn Medicine, Alzheimer's destroys brain cells, and eventually, this can cause severe mental and physical impairment. Your loved one's body may begin to shut down as their mind struggles to communicate and delegate tasks effectively. At this point, your loved one's needs will significantly increase. They may need round-the-clock care for help with walking, sitting, personal care, and eventually swallowing.   Because of their reduced mobility, their body can also become vulnerable to infections, such as pneumonia. To help avoid infections, keep their teeth and mouth clean, treat cuts and scrapes with an antibiotic ointment right away, and make sure they, and anyone they will be in contact with, including yourself, get their flu shot each year. Protecting your loved one from the flu can help lessen their chances of developing pneumonia, which is one of the highest causes of death during this stage.   In stage seven, death is unfortunately inevitable. The best thing you can do for your loved one is make them as comfortable as possible. They will need your help to move and to do everything else at this point. You will want to make sure they are moved every two hours to prevent bedsores and also ensure they are getting the fluids and nutrition they need. They won't need as much food and nutrients as they used to at this stage. When they become stationary, they don't use as much energy, but they will still need to eat, so make sure they get nutrients in their body, even if they no longer eat on their own. Choking is another risk factor in this stage. Be careful around mealtimes and make sure their mouth is clear of food, too.   Visiting a loved one with Alzheimer's can be difficult, especially if they are in the later stages, but it's still important to visit them, even if they don't seem to recognize you or pay attention to your visit.   DailyCaring gives us a few items we can do to create a visiting plan. They say to limit visitors to one or two people at a time. Too many people can be overwhelming. Schedule visits for the time of day when your loved one is usually at their best and minimize distractions by keeping the environment calm and quiet. Turn off the TV or loud music and ask any non-visitors to go to another room. Tell any visitors your visiting plan ahead of time so they will know how to interact with your loved one to make the most of their time.   There are many ways you can connect with your loved one during a visit. You can make a memory book, play games, or listen to music. We recently did an episode on How to Talk to Loved Ones with Dementia if you would like to learn more about how to talk to your loved one during your visit. This would also be a good episode to send to other visitors or people that are nervous about visiting.   Your loved one isn't the only one affected by this progressive disease, you are, too. As the disease progresses and their needs and level of ability and independence change, yours change, as well. It is important to assess your situation at all stages and determine when you need help. Caregiver burnout will happen if you are not taking care of yourself correctly, which can be hard to do when you are taking care of someone else.   To avoid caregiver burnout, reach out to your support group and ask for help. If you need a day off, let them know. Having even a few hours to yourself can help you come back and be ready to continue providing care. If it's hard for you to get away, try scheduling time for respite care in advance, or sign up for an adult daycare program. If you're interested in learning more about preventing caregiver burnout, we've done quite a few episodes covering the topic. Check out our website for more information.   If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's, you may be wondering what the next steps are and where you should go from here. The first thing you should do after getting diagnosed is research the disease and listening to this episode is a good place to start! Next, you should sit down with your family and anyone else you want to include and make your future plan. This plan is not going to be set in stone. You can change and adjust it along the way as you see fit, but being able to talk to your family about your wishes while you have the mental capacity to do so will help you and them later. They won't have to second guess themselves when they make decisions for you if you have already talked about it beforehand.   If you are still working, now is also a good time to talk to your employer and create a work plan. This plan should include ways you can do your job as the disease progresses, as well as an exit strategy. You can also start looking into financial planning at this stage. With the help of a lawyer, you should decide who you want to be in charge of your finances and healthcare decisions when you are no longer able to control them yourself.   You don't have to make all of these plans at once, either. You have time to plan, but the more you plan now, the more you will be prepared for later.   As the disease progresses, you will also want to make sure your living space is safe. You should remove items on the floor that could cause you to trip, like rugs and footstools, and install handrails in stairways and bathrooms. You should also ensure there is bright lighting throughout the home. As we get older, it gets harder to see in dim light. Having bright lights can help you see where you are going better and prevent you from falling.   There are several clinical trials happening right now that are focusing on Alzheimer's. You can talk to your doctor about getting on a clinical trial or contact an Alzheimer's Disease Research Center for more information.   We hope that learning about the seven stages of Alzheimer's and some of the strategies we mentioned can help ease your mind. If you are worried about how Alzheimer's will affect you and your loved ones, consider joining a support group or talking to a therapist. You can find a support group through your local Alzheimer's Association or Senior Center. Talking to someone in a similar situation can be helpful.   An Alzheimer's diagnosis is not the end of all things. Many individuals with the disease live up to twenty years after a diagnosis. More and more people are being diagnosed as the aging population rises, too. With a larger number of people living with Alzheimer's, the concept of dementia-friendly communities has been gaining popularity. For more information on dementia-friendly communities and how your local community can work on accessibility for those with dementia, visit our website or YouTube channel to listen to the episode we did on dementia-friendly communities.   We want to say thank you for joining us here at All Home Care Matters, All Home Care Matters is here for you and to help families as they navigate these long-term care issues.

Welcome to This is Getting Old: Moving Towards an Age-Friendly World, I’m your host Melissa Batchelor, and today I’ll be talking about Five Things “The Father” Teaches Us About Alzheimer’s Disease A friend of mine recently reached out and asked me if I’d seen “The Father” yet with Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Coleman - Anthony Hopkins won the Oscar for Actor in a Leading Role. I have to say, I agree with this win. The movie plot is a daughter trying to provide care for her father who is living with progressive memory loss – so some form of dementia. Here are some things about what this film can teach us about providing care to a person living with Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia and you can learn more by checking out my podcast “What are the Stages of Alzheimer’s Disease; Part I” where I talk about the common symptoms or difficulties you will see in the Early- and Middle-Stages of the disease.  #1: Misplacing or Hiding Valuable or Commonly Used Items  The father has several places around the house where he hides his watch and other valuable items. The caregivers know his hiding places and are able to redirect him to finding his watch that he accuses others of stealing. He’s suspicious and is fixated on his watch. You never know what someone will fixate on or why that object becomes so important to them, but rather than getting upset about it, you’re better off to address the underlying emotion being shared at the time – whether it anxiety or worry – rather than getting into a fight with them about how they are wrong.   #2: Mood swings when confronted with a mentally or socially challenging situation   The father has angry, explosive outbursts with his caregivers – in fact, he’s run 3 of them off in the film before the 4th one arrives. I’d recommend reviewing my podcast, Seven Tips for Managing Behaviors in Alzheimer’s Disease; How to Manage Anger and Aggression, and How to Manage Repetitive Behaviors. His behavior is driven by trying to control the situation and having trouble communicating with his caregivers. He is frustrated when words don’t work and you're experiencing brain failure, angry and aggressive non-verbal behavior to try to get his way.   #3: Loss of orientation to time, then place, and eventually person I think it was a great play to have this character fixated on his watch. He is obviously already disoriented to time and place, in that he believes he is in his own flat when he hasn’t lived there for years. Before the end of the film, he’s not sure who he is anymore and his caregiver has to tell him what his name is. By this point, he is institutionalized and is progressing in the disease.  The film doesn’t show his character with the functional losses that go with this disease – meaning, he can still walk and is getting around. In real life, the cognitive and functional losses will be in tandem – although they will occur at different rates of decline for different people.  #4: Personality and Behavioral Changes I’ve mentioned before that you may see delusions, hallucinations and suspiciousness in prior podcasts, but this film plays them out in a way that’s much easier to understand than these labels.  First let’s talk about his delusions – a delusion is a firmly held false belief. Throughout the movie, the father insists he is living in his own home, insists that nothing is wrong and that he can care for himself. Essentially, the underlying emotion here is feeling a loss of control and that deep rooted part of all of us that wants to be independent and autonomous. No matter what evidence is presented, he doesn’t change his belief, so his caregivers keep trying to have a logical conversation with an illogical person – due to brain failure. So as a caregiver, I don’t recommend frustrating yourself with presenting evidence over and over. Secondly, his hallucinations. These appear to be both visual and auditory hallucinations for the Father in this film. Hallucinations are hearing, seeing, smelling or feeling things that are not really there. For example, he hears a voice and follows it. #5: Personality and Sexuality I will tell you, that while this is an excellent depiction of what happens with brain failure, if you’ve seen one person with dementia, you’ve seen one person. So many aspects of this man’s personality shine through – the essence of who he was as a human being without the filter he may have had as a younger person. From idealizing his younger daughter, making cutting remarks to the older one, becoming very amorous with a caregiver who reminds him of someone he once knew…all of these things make up who he was as a person. So overall, I think the film is an accurate portrayal for this one man’s journey down the slippery slope of Alzheimer’s Disease. I have other thoughts about the caregiver interactions with him – but will save those for another podcast. Several interactions could have been handled differently to prevent and modulate his behavior….but that’s a beef for another day. Congratulations to Florian Zeller and Christopher Hampton for an amazing Screenplay and to Sir Anthony Hopkins on his Oscar nab! It was also great to see Olivia Williams again – still love her from Rushmore back in the day – and Olivia Coleman portrayed the very real emotional toll this disease takes on family caregivers and their lives. Leave me a comment below if you have other thoughts about this film’s portrayal of dementia – and thanks for tuning in! 

Misplacing your vehicleRabbit on a rope complaintsGroup Emails...Is Hilary off to the Moon?

This deep dive is inspired by my most recent sermon, "Misplacing question marks and periods" from Joel 2:12-27. Topics: How Christians should treat non-Christians, How to treat a Christian who is being rebellious, How to know if you are saved, Can a Christian still be enslaved to sin?

No one likes to be called out, especially when you know you are in the wrong. Yet, when God calls people to repent it is because He stills love them and desires for them to return. The truth is that SIN is more serious than you think. The longer you hold on to it the stronger it holds on to you.

#016 - In today's episode of the Psychology of Aging Podcast, I share 10 Memory Loss Warning Signs to let you know that you might want to start the conversation with your loved one about memory loss and make an appointment with their doctor for further evaluation. Let me start by saying that there are common changes in the brain that come with age and growing older. And then there are changes with the brain that are not common and are more concerning. I'll discuss the difference between normal changes in the brain that happen with age versus when to be concerned about memory loss. I'll also review the 10 memory loss warning signs to be looking out for with the older adults in your life.Check out how this episode plays out…[02:41] Memory Loss Warning Sign #1: Memory Loss is the first warning sign. Here, I give examples of what sorts of things are normal to forget as we grow older and when to be concerned. [04:39] Memory Loss Warning Sign #2: Memory loss includes more than just memory changes, it can include this second warning sign-Challenges in planning or problem solving[05:18] Memory Loss Warning Sign #3: Are you noticing your loved one struggle with tasks that used to be easy for them? Like doing laundry or making dinner? These are examples of the third warning sign- Difficulty completing familiar tasks at home, at work or at leisure.[06:01] Memory Loss Warning Sign #4: Confusion with time and place is a hallmark symptom of dementia and may be showing up with early signs of memory loss. [07:03] Memory Loss Warning Sign #5: This one may surprise you. Trouble understanding visual images and spatial relationships is sometimes an early sign of a dementia disorder like Alzheimer's Disease. [07:20] Memory Loss Warning Sign #6: Changes in communication, like speaking and writing can be an early memory loss warning sign.[10:28] Memory Loss Warning Sign #7: Misplacing things and losing the ability to retrace your steps is another warning sign that could result in your loved one accusing you or others of stealing from them. [11:33] Memory Loss Warning Sign #8: We're all entitled to making an unhealthy decision from time to time, but when this unhealthy decision is made from poor judgement and this is happening over and over, this can be concerning for memory loss or serious cognitive disorders. [12:49] Memory Loss Warning Sign #9: Withdrawal from work and activities could be a sign some changes are happening in the brain. On the other hand, this could be a sign of a treatable mental health condition. Either way, you'll want to encourage your loved one to see their medical provider. [14:24] Memory Loss Warning Sign #10: changes in mood and personality can also be a sign of concerning changes in the brain, or a mental health condition.

Pepper Glass’s new book Misplacing Ogden, Utah: Race, Class, Immigration, and the Construction of Urban Reputation (University of Utah Press, 2020) evaluates the widely held assumption that divisions between urban areas are reflections of varying amounts of crime, deprivation, and other social, cultural, and economic problems. Glass uses Ogden, Utah as a case study to argue that urban reputations are “moral frontiers” that uphold and create divides between the reputations of members of a community. As a working-class city, Ogden, Utah has long held a history of racial and immigrant diversity. Among many Utahns this community gained a reputation as a "sin city" in the middle of an entrenched religious culture. Glass blends ethnographic research with historical accounts, census reports, and other secondary sources to provide insight into Ogden’s reputation, past and present. This book captures the perception of residents of the entire city as opposed to only a sector of the community. Glass’s unique approach suggests that we can do a better job at confronting urban problems by rethinking the assumptions we have about place and promoting interventions that breakdown boundaries. Pepper Glass, Ph.D. is associate professor of sociology at Weber State University in Ogden, Utah. He has published his research on racial inequality, social movements, and youth culture in Ethnic and Racial Studies, Mobilization, and the Journal of Contemporary Ethnography. Michael O.

Six Tips for Talking to Someone You Think Has A Memory Problem “The sooner we know what's going on, the sooner we can help that person.”— Melissa Batchelor, PhD, RN, FNP, FAAN (08:46-08:50) It may be challenging to communicate with an older adult who has memory loss associated with aging, dementia, and Alzheimer's. There are a lot of reasons that these discussions can be hard for families to have, but knowing a few strategies can help. In this week's episode, you'll learn about the six tips for talking to someone you think may have a memory problem. Part One of ‘Six Tips for Talking to Someone You Think Has A Memory Problem’ Previously, we talked about the ten warning signs of Alzheimer’s Disease:  Memory loss that disrupts daily life. Challenges in planning or solving problems. Difficulty completing familiar tasks at home, at work, or play. Confusion with time or place. Trouble understanding visual images and spatial relationships. New problems with words in speaking or writing. Misplacing things and losing the ability to retrace steps. Decreased or poor judgment. Withdrawal from work or social activities. Changes in mood or personality. All of those ten warning signs are things you need to pay attention to overtime, and to look for patterns. Do you see something that concerns you every afternoon at a certain period of time? Do you only see it in the morning? Paying attention and documenting these types of details will help your healthcare providers figure out what's going on. Keeping a journal to write down when and where you have seen any of the warning signs is a helpful strategy and helps to keep things objective. Write down the changes that you see in somebody's memory, their thinking, or behavior. What are they doing or what are they not doing that's worrying you? What specific day do they usually happen? How long have you been seeing that particular behavior, or when's the last time they did something that they used to do all the time? Another consideration are major life changes - such as the recent loss of a spouse. Is their behavior changing because they have been trapped in their house for three months because of COVID-19? Depression and anxiety can look like a memory problem. Or is there some type of family stress that happening? Has anyone else seen the changes that you are seeing? “Help them maintain their independence for as long as possible.” — Melissa Batchelor, PhD, RN, FNP, FAAN (09:48-09:50) Here are the six tips for how you're going to have this conversation.   First of all, you need to think about who needs to have the conversation and when they need to have that conversation.    You may need to work with that family caregiver or an adult child to have that conversation. Or maybe you have a close enough relationship where you can at least have the conversation, but think through what's going to be the best time of day to approach this person, whereas what's going to be the best location? And typically, being in a quiet and familiar place is going to be very helpful. But knowing who should have the conversation and when you should have it are both critical. And you also need to prepare and be prepared for some pushback. A lot of times, we start off having these social conversations, but when we start asking very direct questions, people can get mad at you. Don’t take this personally; you may just need to revisit the conversation later but add it to your journal.        2. Know that this conversation may not go as planned.   You also may need to have this conversation more than once. You may need to have part of the conversation you want to have and then stop through part of it if you're upsetting the other person. If you're getting push back, you're better off just to let it go and come back and talk about it again another day. But don't forget to keep notes about that. Where did the conversation take place? What time of day was it? What went well and what didn't go well? And what do you think you should do the next time you try to have this conversation? You do need to try to have the conversation earlier rather than later. Part Two of ‘Six Tips for Talking to Someone You Think Has A Memory Problem’    3. Have the conversation early and do not ignore the warning signs.  You don't need to jump right to the conclusion that this memory change is definitely Alzheimer's and they're demented because there could be another reason. It could be the beginning of delirium, which is an acute change in someone's ability to think. They may have something wrong with their thyroid or have a bladder infection or some other underlying infection. They could be getting dehydrated. They could be constipated. It's incredible how much your bowels can impact your brain as you get older. So, please don't ignore the warning signs because they need to be evaluated in case there's a reversible cause.    4. Have a very specific plan on how you're going to start the conversation.  You need to be very non-confrontational. Pay attention to your non-verbal body language; instead of sitting directly across from the person, maybe sit down beside them to somehow make them feel that you're on the same team and have the same concerns. Be willing to help them. You can say something like, "I've noticed that you're not going out and seeing people as much as you used to. And I'm concerned." They may have a very different reason for why they're doing something that's not related to a memory issue. Having urinary incontinence will keep someone at home and could be due to an infection or constipation (yes, constipation can make someone incontinent) that both of these things can be treated and get the older adult out and about again.  Try to find out why they aren't going out and engaging socially if that's the symptom you're seeing. Another way you can start the conversation would be to check on them and ask open-ended questions that let them decide which way the conversation should go. And then, the third way would be to notice whatever symptoms that you saw and ask, "Has this ever happened to you before?" and ask them things like, "I heard you got lost the other day at the mall. Has that ever happened to you before?" This is why keeping up with a journal is essential because you have most symptoms of Alzheimer's disease appearing like twenty years before we ever get to a diagnosis. It has to be more moderate before it's bad enough that they can't take care of themselves, and people will intervene. “Sometimes, just knowing that somebody is on your side can help you take the next step to actually going and talking to a doctor about it.” —  Melissa Batchelor, PhD, RN, FNP, FAAN (10:10-10:17)     5. You need to understand that the person you're talking to is probably going to tell you that they are fine. It could be that they know now that you think they have a problem and want to avoid the conversation or may not believe they have a problem. If that's the case, there's no need to fight that. You just need to point out the things that you're concerned about and be prepared to have the conversation at different points over time. Preserve your relationship with them rather than force the issue.     6. Offer your support   It goes back to sitting down beside them, being on the same team with them, and letting them know that you want to help them maintain their independence for as long as possible. You want them to be able to live in their home for as long as possible. And you also need to tell them that many other things could be causing their memory problem. And that's the part where you can suggest for them to talk to a doctor about it. And then, let them know that the sooner we address this, the sooner we know what we're dealing with because there are some things that you're going to need to get in place. If it truly is a memory problem, in the next episode, we're going to talk about what it takes to get to a diagnosis. And if that happens to you, you may need to find a different provider and get a different opinion, because that's not how this disease is diagnosed. It's a diagnosis of exclusion, which means we rule everything else out first.

Ten Signs of Alzheimer's Disease “People with Alzheimer's can lose track of what time it is.”— Melissa Batchelor, PhD, RN, FNP, FAAN (06:05-06:10) A lot of us have been home during the COVID-19 pandemic. Maybe you're interacting with your older relatives more than usual and you may be noticing some memory problems. If you're worried about somebody having an issue with their memory and want to have them checked, what are the top 10 warning signs that you should look for? In this week's episode, you’ll learn about: Alzheimer’s and/or other dementia/typical age-related changes. Part One of ‘Ten Signs of Alzheimer's Disease’ The first question is, what is dementia? It's a broad umbrella term, meaning that many different symptoms go into this term. People are going to have difficulty with their memory. They're going to have trouble with language, but also problem-solving and executive planning.  Alzheimer's is a type of dementia that accounts for about 60 to 80 percent of the different dimensions that we see. The other dementias that are most common are Lewy Body Dementia and Vascular Dementia. Those types of dementias tend to appear a little bit differently.    You may have one type or a mix of things, particularly if you have high blood pressure or you've had many strokes in the past, and you may have Alzheimer's, you may have a combination of Alzheimer's type dementia and vascular dementia. For the most part, these symptoms are pretty similar. “They may tell you the same story or they may have difficulty finding the right word.” — Melissa Batchelor, PhD, RN, FNP, FAAN (09:10-09:15) Memory loss that disrupts daily life. Warning Sign: Forgetting important dates, repetitive, need more memory aids than before. Normal aging: Sometimes forgetting names or appointments but remembering them later. Challenges in planning or solving problems. Warning Sign: Trouble following a familiar recipe or keeping track of paying monthly bills. Normal aging: Making occasional error balancing a checkbook.   Difficulty completing familiar tasks at home, at work, or play. Warning Sign: Trouble organizing a shopping list or trouble driving to a familiar place. Normal aging: Occasionally needing help to use the settings on a microwave or to record a television show Part Two of ‘Ten Signs of Alzheimer's Disease’ Confusion with time or place Warning Sign: Forget where you are or how you got there. Normal aging: Getting confused about the day of the week but figuring it out later. Trouble understanding visual images and spatial relationships Warning Sign: Trouble judging distance  Normal Aging: Vision changes related to cataracts, glaucoma, or age-related macular degeneration New problems with words in speaking or writing Warning Sign: Trouble following conversation or forgets where they are in a story Normal aging: Sometimes having trouble finding the right word   “These are only warning signs. They are not diagnostic.” —  Melissa Batchelor, PhD, RN, FNP, FAAN (16:04-16:05) Misplacing things and losing the ability to retrace steps Warning Sign: Put things in usual places, accuse others of stealing Normal aging: Misplacing things from time to time and retracing steps to find them Decreased or poor judgment Warning Sign: Less attention to grooming; giving away large amounts of money Normal aging: Making bad decisions once in a while Withdrawal from work or social activities Warning Signs: Starts to remove themselves from activities, social activities, or hobbies Normal aging: Sometimes feeling weary of work, friends, and social obligations Changes in mood or personality Warning Sign: Confused, suspicious, depressed, fearful, or anxious. Upset when out of their comfort zone Normal aging: Developing very specific ways of doing things, and become irritable when the routine is disrupted For more information on Alzheimer’s or related dementias, visit https://www.alz.org About Melissa I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (‘96) and Master of Science in Nursing (‘00) as a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) from the University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW) School of Nursing (SON).

There are a number of types of Dementia which can be classified differently based on observed problems, such as memory, language, thinking, social behaviour, emotional state, and physical movement. Most individuals exhibit progressive loss over time which results from a degenerative disease process such as Alzheimer’s, while some types of brain injury (e.g., due to trauma or stroke) may result in symptoms that stay the same over time. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia that accounts for 64 per cent of all dementias in Canada. Currently, over 500,000 Canadians have Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia. However there are other types such as Vascular Dementia, Dementia with Lewy Bodies and Frontotemporal Dementia. Researchers report most individuals with Alzheimer’s disease are over the age of 65. The likelihood of developing Alzheimer’s doubles every five years after that age but once an individual reaches 85 years, the risk reaches nearly 50 percent. The other most important risk factor is family history. Those who have a parent or sibling with Alzheimer’s are more likely to develop the disease. However research has also begun to reveal clues about other risk factors that we may be able to influence through lifestyle and wellness choices, and effective management of other health conditions. Statistics strongly suggest that significant numbers of individuals will be impacted in one way or another by Dementia. Family members or caregivers for a loved one with the disease often experience varying degrees of stress. Due to the progressive course of dementia, there are a wide range of emotions such a fear, frustration and ongoing loss that impact both the person with the disease and their loved ones. The presenter of the accompanying vignette is Loretta Tanner, Public Education Coordinator for Alzheimer Society Durham with over 30 years experience in the field of seniors’ mental health. She provides viewers with an insightful synopsis of Dementia and explains the value of early diagnosis. Ms. Tanner describes how individuals with this disease are impacted and illustrates the effects it has on caregivers. She provides supportive suggestions for crisis and distress line responders to use in communicating to individuals with Dementia or their loved ones. Questions for Further Consideration: What do you know about early signs of dementia? Will you recognize it when you are on the phone with a caller? Warning signs of Alzheimer’s: Memory loss that disrupts daily life Challenges in planning or solving problems Difficulty completing familiar tasks at home or at work Confusion with time or place Trouble understanding visual images and spatial relationships New problems with words in speaking or writing Misplacing things and losing the ability to retrace steps Decreased or poor judgement Withdrawal from work or social activities Changes in mood and personality A caller to the distress line shares and questions: “My mother has Dementia. She keeps crying and asking why she can't remember anything. How do we explain this to her? She was hospitalized recently and the trauma from this experience has made the dementia much worse. I just don’t know what to do”. How would you respond to this caller’s concerns? Remember your role is to be an empathetic listener. Acknowledge the caller’s fears, frustrations, and confusion. It would be helpful to guide the caller through problem solving strategies as to how (s)he can respond to her mother’s distress and address mother’s questions in a way she understands. The caller may benefit from referrals to community resources and should be reminded that helping her mother follow up with her primary care provider is also advisable. A woman calls the crisis/distress line reporting she has concerns that her father has dementia. She wants to know how to get him assessed and what supports she can get for him. What do you know about your community supports? In Ontario, the Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) connects clients with the care they need at home and in their community. They will assess the concerned individual and help coordinate supports to assist individuals remain longer in their home. Individuals who are seeking information and counselling regarding all forms of dementia can contact their local Alzheimer’s Society. Glossary: Alzheimer's disease: The most common form of dementia. Alzheimer's disease accounts for 50 to 80 percent of dementia cases. Alzheimer's is a progressive disease, where dementia symptoms gradually worsen over a number of years. The most common early symptom of Alzheimer's disease is difficulty remembering newly learned information because brain changes typically begin in the part of the brain that affects learning (i.e., temporal lobe). Early Onset Alzheimer’s: Early onset (also known as young-onset) Alzheimer's is an uncommon form of dementia that affects people younger than age 65. It has been known to develop between ages 30 and 40, but that’s very uncommon. It is more common to see someone in his/her 50s with the disease. Approximately 70,000 Canadians living with dementia are under age 65. Genetics seem to play a stronger role in the cause of this form of the disease. Vascular Dementia: Previously known as multi-infarct or post-stroke dementia. Vascular dementia is less common as a sole cause of dementia than is Alzheimer's disease. Impaired judgment or ability to make plans is more likely to be the initial symptom, as opposed to the memory loss often associated with the initial symptoms of Alzheimer's. Often it occurs because of brain injuries such as microscopic bleeding and blood vessel blockage. The location of the brain injury determines how the individual's thinking and physical functioning are affected. Dementia with Lewy Bodies: People with dementia with Lewy bodies have some of the symptoms common in Alzheimer's, but are more likely than people with Alzheimer's to have initial or early symptoms such as sleep disturbances, well-formed visual hallucinations, and muscle rigidity or other parkinsonian movement features. Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration: Typical symptoms include changes in personality and behavior or difficulty with language. Nerve cells in the front and side regions of the brain are especially affected. Mixed Dementia: Recent studies suggest that mixed dementia is more common than previously thought. Brain changes are characterized by the hallmark abnormalities of Alzheimer's and another disease process —most commonly, vascular dementia, but also other types, such as Dementia with Lewy bodies. Creutzfeldt–Jakob Disease: This is a rare form of dementia with rapid onset; it is caused by infectious proteins called prions. Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, which affects primarily younger people, is extremely rare. It has been linked conclusively in humans to exposure to BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy). This is a rapidly fatal disorder that impairs memory and coordination and causes behaviour changes.

Relying more and more on memory aids is one sign of possible Alzheimer's. A listener told me she couldn't find the episode on the 10 warning signs of Alzheimer's and since there wasn't one, I created it. You can get more information from the Alzheimer's Association. Their website is chock full of fantastic information. Memory loss that disrupts daily life Forgetting recently learned information is one of the most common signs of Alzheimer’s disease, especially in the early stage. Other signs include forgetting important dates or events, asking for the same information over and over, and increasingly needing to rely on memory aids (e.g., reminder notes or electronic devices) or family members for things they used to handle on their own. What's a typical age-related change? Sometimes forgetting names or appointments, but remembering them later. Challenges in planning or solving problems Developing and following a plan or working with numbers might become problematic. Having trouble following a familiar recipe or keeping track of monthly bills is also not uncommon in the early stages. You may also have difficulty concentrating and take much longer to do things than they did before. What's a typical age-related change? Making occasional errors when balancing a checkbook isn't something to worry too much about.   Difficulty completing familiar tasks at home, at work or at leisure Completing daily tasks is a common warning sign. Following a routine set of steps can become confusing and even normal things like making a sandwich become more than you can handle. Sometimes, people may have trouble driving to a familiar location, managing a budget at work or remembering the rules of a favorite game. What's a typical age-related change? Occasionally needing help to use the settings on a microwave or to record a television show.   Trouble understanding visual images and spatial relationships Having vision problems can be  a sign of Alzheimer's. They may have difficulty reading, judging distance and determining color or contrast, which may cause problems with driving. What's a typical age-related change? Vision changes related to cataracts or macular degeneration.   New problems with words in speaking or writing Following or joining a conversation may become difficult as the brain fails to process conversation like it used to. Stopping in the middle of a conversation and having no idea how to continue is common or they may repeat themselves. Struggling with vocabulary, have problems finding the right word or call things by the wrong name (e.g., calling a "watch" a "hand-clock") are not unusual. What's a typical age-related change? Sometimes having trouble finding the right word.   Misplacing things and losing the ability to retrace steps Finding things in unusual places and not remembering are also a common warning sign. Losing things and being unable to go back over their steps to find them again isn't unusual. You may find milk in the cupboard or keys in the freezer. Sometimes, they may accuse others of stealing or hiding their belongings This may occur more frequently over time. What's a typical age-related change? Misplacing things from time to time and retracing steps to find them. Decreased or poor judgment Changes in judgment or decision-making and refusing to allow others to help manage finances or health care are typical issues. They may use poor judgment when dealing with money, giving large amounts to telemarketers or friends and they may pay less attention to grooming or keeping themselves clean. What's a typical age-related change? Making a bad decision once in a while.   Withdrawal from work or social activities Removing themselves from hobbies, social activities, work projects or sports. They may have trouble keeping up with a favorite sports team or remembering how to complete a favorite hobby.

It’s that moment when you realize that you’ve forgotten something, or simply lost track of something. I call it, “Misplacing something in my schedule.” And what really happened is that it DIDN’T GET PLACED ON THE SCHEDULE. My first response was, “Oops! Wow, I can’t believe that happened.” Then I felt kinda bad — l felt like I had been irresponsible. I felt judged — by myself. Have you ever dropped a metaphorical “ball” in your life? Of course you have. We all have! Then we judge ourselves… Have you ever done this? BUT… This time I’m doing something different! Right now I’m asking myself these 4 things in order to answer the question of “Now what?” The next time this happens to you, try this… 1. Ask yourself why you were carrying it in the first place. 2. Ask yourself why you dropped it, but only for learning…not loathing on yourself. 3. Ask yourself if you’d like to pick it up again. 4. If the answer is yes, then pick it up. If the answer is no, then make the decision to lay It down and keep moving ahead. Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL (Daily Action To Engage yourself.) TODAY’S SACRED S.O.L.

This has been a summer of doctor appointments. General practitioners, endocrinologists, allergists, ear nose and throat docs, neurologists, and a ton of misplaced paperwork. How is it that I can hand deliver paperwork to a physician's office and then receive a call weeks later that the paperwork is lost. And also that my GP needs to redo my authorization to see a referral as they misplaced that too? It doesn't inspire confidence. Not at all. As we move forward into the 21st Century I sincerely hope that we can see improvement in the medical community, it's a pretty big mess from my perspective. Let's hope I get my issues resolved soon! •If you enjoy the music check out Soundstripe: https://soundstripe.grsm.io/RichardCharpentier •My YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/2mI1qkm •Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/livingintin/ •Want to support this podcast? https://anchor.fm/the-airstream-chronicles •E-mail Me: rich at rlcdesign.net --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-airstream-chronicles/support

Living With Alzheimer's – A Conversation with Pam Montana Today's episode is a fascinating conversation with a woman living with Alzheimer's. Diagnosed in her early 60s, Pam Montana made it her new job to do everything she could to prevent the worst part of the disease. “Keep that happy life balance as long as possible.” Everything from exercise to nutrition to advocacy, Pam is doing everything she can to combat this disease for herself and everyone that comes after her. If you suspect you or a loved one may be living with Alzheimer's you'll get a lot out of this episode. Listed below are the warning signs of Alzheimer's and the top 10 ways to love your brain. Some tips from Pam: Even if you're super functional it's important to surround yourself with a supportive group. Get information and help sooner rather later. (I can't emphasize this enough myself!) Get involved – everyone has some way to give back. Stay positive – negativity will not help you at all. (Neither will denial.) The Top Ten Warning Signs (thanks to the Alzheimer's Assoc.) Memory loss that disrupts daily life. Challenges in planning or solving problems Difficulty completing familiar tasks at home, at work or at leisure. Confusion with time or place Trouble understanding visual images and spatial relationships New problems with words in speaking or writing Misplacing things and losing the ability to retrace steps Decreased or poor judgment Withdrawal from work or social activities Changes in mood and personality The top ten tips for loving your brain are; (thanks to the Alzheimer's Assoc.) Break a Sweat: Engage in regular cardiovascular exercise that elevates your heart rate and increases blood flow to the brain and body. Hit the Books: Formal education in any stage of life will help reduce your risk of cognitive decline and dementia. For example, take a class at a local college, community center or online. Butt Out: Evidence shows that smoking increases risk of cognitive decline. Quitting smoking can reduce that risk to levels comparable to those who have not smoked. Follow Your Heart: Evidence shows that risk factors for cardiovascular disease and stroke – obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes – negatively impact your cognitive health. Take care of your heart and your brain just might follow. Heads Up: Brain injury can raise your risk of cognitive decline and dementia. Wear a seat belt, use a helmet when playing contact sports or riding a bike and take steps to prevent falls. Fuel Up Right: Eat a healthy and balance diet that is lower in fat and higher in vegetables and fruit to help reduce the risk of cognitive decline. Although research on diet and cognitive function is limited certain diets including Mediterranean and MIND may contribute to risk reduction. Catch Some Zzzz's: Not getting enough sleep due to conditions like insomnia or sleep apnea may result in problem with memory and thinking. Take care of your mental health: Some studies link a history of depression with increase risk of cognitive decline, so seek medical treatment if you have symptoms of depression, anxiety or other mental health concerns. Also, try to manage stress. Buddy Up: Staying socially engaged may support brain health. Pursue social activities that are meaningful to you. Find ways to be part of your local community – if you love animals, consider volunteering at a local shelter. If you enjoy singing, join a local choir or help at an after school program. Or, just share activities with friends and family. Stump Yourself: Challenge and activate your mind, Build a piece of furniture. Complete a jigsaw puzzle. Do something artistic. Play games, such as bridge, that make you think strategically. Challenging your mind may have short and long-term benefits for your brain. My Family Journey with Alzheimer's More from Pam

If you have a parent or loved one that gets diagnosed with Alzheimer's, I  want you to know what to expect. If you lose your keys, that is not a part of symptoms of dementia. But if you find them in the refrigerator, that could be a sign of dementia What are the early signs and symptoms of Dementia? * Memory Loss that disrupts daily life * Challenges in planning or solving problems * Difficulty completing familiar tasks at home, at work, or at leisure * Confusion with time or place * Trouble understanding visual images and spatial relationships * New problems with words in speaking or writing * Misplacing things and losing the ability to retrace steps * Decreased or poor judgment * Withdrawal from work or social activities * Changes in mood and personality If you would like a copy of our freebie, 10 Early Signs and Symptoms of Alzheimer's, go to http://rockyourretirement.com/dementia this gives more detailed information on dementia symptoms.

If Donald Trump didn't do anything illegal with his taxes (and he didn't), shouldn't we blame inept politicians for how he used it and not him? Hillary Clinton is the quintessential lifetime political insider & politician. Obamacare bailouts. Wikileaks head fake. FBI destroyed laptops of Clinton aides. Did they use the same hammer Hillary used to destroy the phones? Corruption as we slide into banana republic territory. Misplacing $6 billion. Oops. Google & racism. Kim Kardashian. White privilege in high schools.
