Jesus had been running a caregiver's support group for almost a decade and found it very rewarding to help others to navigate their diagnosis and manage their disease day to day. Jesus believes that by telling your story you can save lives, you make people realize they are not alone. They have readjusted to their new normal, and love life. They live with NMO but NMO is not their life. Sharon Hall: During Sharon's 18 years of caregiving, she has navigated the medical community, the social service community, and the support community.

Welcome to the daily304 – your window into Wonderful, Almost Heaven, West Virginia.   Today is Tuesday, Nov. 28  Residents theorize about the mysterious “Peters Mountain Roar.” Savor the flavors of the WV Culinary Trail. And CAMC opens a new, state-of-the-art training facility for healthcare professionals…on today's daily304. #1 – From WV EXPLORER – Those who have heard the haunting "Peters Mountain Roar" say it will forever stay with them. "The roar of a thousand lions," some have called it. A meteorological phenomenon, the sound is most often experienced in the windward valleys west of Peters Mountain. Many theories have been proposed about its origin, though none have answered all questions about its magical influence. "Old timers called in the roar of a thousand lions," added Amy Cole South, who grew up near the mountain and operates Mountain Shadow Cabin, which lodges at least one scholar who has studied the sound. In the 1960s, Shirley Donnelly published a theory proposed by W.O. Raines of Gap Mills. Raines said the sound was created by high-level winds racing across the top of the mountain.  As to where on the mountain the sound emanates remains a mystery. Some believe it's created where the winds blow over rocky areas along the summit, as at Hanging Rock, the site of the Hanging Rock Raptor Observatory.  Read more: https://wvexplorer.com/2023/11/20/peters-mountain-roar-monroe-county-west-virginia/    #2 – From WV TOURISM –  Appalachian flavors meet global influences on the West Virginia Culinary Trail.

Many Definers may enjoy laying in a lush, green lawn staring up at a blue sky while listening to the latest Sustainability Defined episode. We love that, but it's also important to think about how we got those landscapes and how we can maintain them more sustainably. This episode considers the footprint of all kinds of man-made and maintained landscapes, particularly the around 50 million acres of lawn in the United States. You'll hear about the many impacts of landscaping our environment, including the crazy amount of air pollution that comes from gas powered equipment, as well as techniques you can use to maintain a landscape you enjoy with less impact on the environment. Our expert guest, Dr. Sharon Hall, ecosystem ecologist and professor at the School of Life Sciences at Arizona State University, provides insights from her research on how humans interact with the residential landscape and from her own landscaping experience. Let's put on some gardening gloves as we get our hands dirty diving into sustainable landscaping. ----------------------------- Sustainability Defined is the podcast that seeks to define sustainability, one concept (and bad joke) at a time. Hosted by Jay Siegel and Scott Breen. Each episode focuses on a single topic that helps push sustainability forward. We explain each topic with the help of an experienced pro, place it within our organizational tree, and help our listeners define what exactly sustainability is, episode by episode. We have divided our organizational tree into the following seven sectors: Energy Cities Natural Environment Transportation Business Policy Social Each episode is categorized under one of our sectors and visually depicted within our organizational tree. The more episodes we complete, the more the tree will visually define what exactly sustainability means. Please go to www.sustainabilitydefined.com for more information. Our website has pages for each episode where there is a player to stream the episode, as well as hyperlinked intro notes.

Sharon Hall will be joined by Rebekah Wilson, MSW (agingcarecoach.com), to discuss what makes families scratch their heads and be resentful, anosognosia. When someone is diagnosed with FTD, they often say there is nothing wrong with them, you are just trying to make them sick. They insist they can drive, grocery shop, work, and be totally independent. Yet, they have accidents, bring home only cookies from the store, get fired due to someone else's fault, and leave the front door wide open when they leave the house. We will discuss this weird word, anosognosia, and give advice on how to work around it when you have an FTDer who is "just fine" and will not give up driving, independence, or applying for jobs.We will realistically discuss what "might" work and definitely discuss what will "never" work. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/caring-conversations/message

Sharon Hall will be joined by Rebekah Wilson, MSW, www.agingcarecoach.com for this podcast on connecting to those living with dementia. Can you connect to the person you married or a family member in a different way after diagnosis? Should you? Many care partners had a very rocky pre-diagnosis time. Some dealt with firings over inappropriate behavior, some with affairs, some with loss of a life savings, some with arrests, gambling, drinking, and reckless behavior and even violence. Some dealt with law suits over auto accidents, sexual harrasment, shoplifting and other legal issues. How do you heal those awful wounds of betrayal? Can you just "shut off" the negative feelings and accept these issues were driven by a dying brain? Many people struggle to "love" the person they care for after they caused devastation in their lives. We will discuss what love means before and after diagnosis and how it might change. We will talk about how you can survive and even thrive, even after events that broke you in ways that seemed irreperable. We will talk about surviving and thriving during this diagnosis. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/caring-conversations/message

Sharon Hall and Janelle Drake, who both have husbands diagnosed with FTD, will discuss what we had to learn the hard way and what we want people newly diagnosed to know that will help them deal with this diagnosis. No one can know what it is like to live through a frontotemporal dementia diagnosis better than those who have been there. Sharon and Janelle will share their trials and tribulations that followed the diagnosis. It takes an average of 4 years to get a frontotemporal diagnosis. During that time, the frustration and the feeling of not being heard becomes overwhelming. When we finally get a diagnosis, the relief and grief set in and we then say, now what? We will try to address the now what question, by telling you what we found to be the most valuable information. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/caring-conversations/message
