Episode 32: Role Reversal – When the Child Becomes the Caregiver with Tiffany Cardwell When a person has a stroke, life changes for family members as well. Host Rosa Hart is joined by Tiffany Cardwell, who shares a deeply personal journey of love, responsibility and unexpected role reversal after her father experienced a stroke while traveling overseas. What began as a season filled with travel plans quickly turned into a crisis when her father suddenly was stranded in the Philippines, requiring rehabilitation before he could make the long journey home. Tiffany opens up about the emotional toll of navigating her father's stroke from afar, the stress of coordinating international medical care and the moment she realized she had become her father's primary caregiver. She shares candidly about the heartbreak of watching her strong, independent father face physical and cognitive challenges — and the strength it took to step into a caregiving role while honoring his dignity. In this episode, you'll hear: What it was like coordinating medical care and rehab internationally The complexities of flying a stroke survivor home after an overseas hospitalization The emotional impact of becoming a caregiver to a parent How caregiving redefined their relationship — and deepened their bond Tips for others suddenly thrust into long-distance or primary caregiving roles Whether you're a caregiver, stroke survivor or loved one, Tiffany's story is a moving reminder that stroke changes everything — but it also creates space for resilience, connection and reimagined futures. Key takeaways: Stroke recovery doesn't just impact the survivor — it reshapes family roles and dynamics. Long-distance caregiving and international rehab and travel come with logistical, legal and emotional challenges. Communication, compassion and flexibility are key to adapting during a medical crisis. Even amid grief for what was lost, it's possible to find new meaning and purpose in the caregiver role.

Welcome to Mysteries to Die For.I am TG Wolff and am here with Jack, my piano player and producer. This is a podcast where we combine storytelling with original music to put you in the heart of a mystery. All stories are structured to challenge you to beat the detective to the solution. Jack and I perform these live, front to back, no breaks, no fakes, no retakes.The rules for law and order create the boundaries for civil co-existence and, ideally, the backdrops for individuals, families, and companies to grow and thrive. Breaking these rules puts civil order at risk. And while murder is the Big Daddy of crimes, codified ordinances across municipal divisions, counties, states, and countries show the nearly endless ways there are to create mayhem. This season, we put our detective skills to the test. This is Season 8, Anything but Murder. This is Episode 13, race fixing is the featured murderless crime. This is The Butterfly Stroke Effect by Ken HarrisDELIBERATIONSally Bones DeLuca is convinced the arrest of a swimmer was really a strike at him. He has a few tigers by the tail but he's still not sure which one set him up to fall. Let's see what we can do to help him get back on the Don's good side. Here are the suspects he's considered in the order of appearance:Harper Underhill, the American swimmer busted for magic mushroomsFedir Belinsky, head of the Russian mobTony Accardo, Sally's right hand manVladya “Swiss” Zinczenko, unretired Russian mob associateAirport staff member, Serbian baggage handler claims to have bet big against Underhill.Here are the facts as Sally Bones has pieced them together:Sally's operation was making good book on the women's Olympic butterfly event. The favorite was American Harper Underhill. Underhill did not fly commercial with the rest of the team. She traveled to from Philadelphia to Paris on a private charter and was arrested when she disembarked for transporting banned substances. Sally Bones and his crew were not aware of the development and continued taking bets for the underdog Russian swimmer Tatiana Popova. With her main competition out, Popova won and now the Don and Sally have to pay out.The Italian and Russian mobs are always going head-to-head. Sally suspects the Russian set Underhill up to financially hit Don Caccamo's operation through the sports book business.Swiss Zinczenko tells Sally it wasn't the Russians and to look in his own house. While Sally trusts Swiss, he thinks the Russian's have the strongest motive.Because of Swiss's suggestion, Sally notices that is right-hand man Tony Accardo maybe has a little more than he should…like an expensive new car. With Sally's demotion, Accardo has the chance to get in tighter with the boss.An interview on TV turns Sally on to a baggage handler at the airport who worked Underhill's chartered flight. The man complained about Underhill's treatment of the staff and just might have had a reason to take her down.Since Agent Price is on the job, we know a few things Sally doesn't: Swiss Zinczenko is coming out of retirement and he's looking to do it big. Hurting Caccamo's business would be a step in the right direction.Price's task force partner, TSA agent Juanita Navar, is caught in an explosion aimed at Sally. Navar rambled about horse race betting and Sally Bones, including threats, pointing, and blame.Who does Sally Bones really have to blame for his financial ruin and demotion?ABOUT Race FixingGoogle search on “race fixing” and you find a lot of horse stories. From History.com comes 10 famous horse fixing scandals. Yes, there is the basic “take bribes to slow a horse”, although the scale of Anthony “Big Tony” Ciulla's bribe scheme in the early 1970s was truly impressive (every state except CA.) Let's

This week, we sit down with Bruce Hughes—author of the bestselling memoir A Stroke of Luck: Music, Medicine, and a Miraculous Recovery. Bruce's story begins in May 2017, when a series of rare strokes left him paralyzed from the neck down. What followed was an extraordinary journey of healing, hope, and yes—luck. But Bruce is quick to point out: the real miracle wasn't divine intervention—it was the strength of community, expert medical care, and a deep belief in possibility.   Now a passionate advocate for stroke survivors, Bruce serves as the Patient Experience Advisor of Therapeutic Services at Horizon Health. He shares his lived experience with compassion, humour, and a desire to pay it forward—offering support to others who are facing the unthinkable.   We talk about how his book, published through our friends at Purple Porcupine Publishing, climbed to the top of the Atlantic Canadian Best Sellers List for three consecutive months—two of those at number one. But Bruce never set out to "make it" as an author or musician. For him, the fact that he's here—writing, speaking, playing music—is more than enough.   Speaking of music, Bruce is also the rhythm guitarist for The UnHeard, a 70s-style rock band that brings his love of storytelling to the stage. He's a songwriter, a singer, and a lifelong believer in the power of a good tune—and a good team.   In this episode, Bruce opens up about: The terrifying moment everything changed His path to recovery and the people who made it possible Why he doesn't see himself as a miracle, but a product of care and connection The making of A Stroke of Luck and how it's helping others And how rock 'n' roll is still very much part of the healing   Plus, we meet Willow—Bruce's four-legged lifesaver—and reflect on what it really means to "make it." This is a story about resilience without ego, survival with soul, and the way music and medicine can sometimes dance together in unexpected harmony.   Watch this episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@mikeandkristen   Join our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/mikeandkristen   Us on the web: www.mikeandkristen.ca Instagram: www.instagram.com/mike_and_kristen/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mikeandkristencreative Shoot us a message!

We believe all neighborhoods deserve to be covered in a meaningful way.We amplify positive stories, cover development and local school council meetings and serve as watchdogs in neighborhoods often ostracized by traditional news media.Ground-level coverageOur neighborhood-based reporters don't parachute in once to cover a story. They are in the neighborhoods they cover every day building relationships over time with neighbors. We believe this ground-level approach not only builds community but leads to a more accurate portrayal of a neighborhood.Stories that matter to you — every daySince our launch five years ago, we've published more than 25,000 stories from the neighborhoods, covered hundreds of community meetings and send daily and neighborhood newsletters to more than 130,000 Chicagoans.

Dr. Edsel Ing from the University of Alberta is joining Grant Hardy on The Pulse today, along with his patient Glenn Calverley. Dr. Ing and Glenn are on the show to talk about a piece of software that was developed at the University that may partially restore peripheral vision for people affected by stroke and other brain injuries. Glenn shares his vision loss journey, and how the use of these glasses has positively affected his vision and life. This software was developed by Dr. Ing, an ophthalmologist for over 25 years, so that he was able to offer his patients another resource after they've had a stroke or brain injury. Listen to this episode of The Pulse to hear about the development of the software, the science behind the “picture-in-picture navigation,” and how these glasses have impacted some of Dr. Ing's patients already.  Check out the Pulse on YouTube!About AMIAMI is a media company that entertains, informs and empowers Canadians with disabilities through three broadcast services — AMI-tv and AMI-audio in English and AMI-télé in French — and streaming platform AMI+.

A generation ago, a big clot in the brain meant paralysis or worse. Today, doctors can diagnose clots on AI-enabled brain scans; provide life-saving, targeted medications; or snake a catheter from a patient's groin into the brain to vacuum out the clot. If they intervene in time, they can watch speech and movement return before the sedatives wear off. How did that happen—and what's still missing?In this episode of From Our Neurons to Yours, Stanford neuroscientist and neurocritical care specialist Marion Buckwalter, MD, PhD retraces the 70-year chain of curiosity-driven research—biochemistry, imaging, materials science, AI—behind today's remarkable improvements in stroke care. She also warns what future breakthroughs are at stake if support for basic science stalls.Learn MoreBuckwalter Lab siteHistory of Stroke Care:Tissue Plasminogen Activator for Acute Ischemic Stroke (NINDS) On the development of the first-gen clot-busting drug, tPA Optimizing endovascular therapy for ischemic stroke (NINDS) On the development of mechanical clot clearance using thrombectomy.Mechanical Thrombectomy for Large Ischemic Stroke (Neurology, 2023) A literature meta-analysis shows that thrombectomy improves stroke outcomes by 2.5X, on top of 2X improvements from clot-busting drugsThe uncertain future of federal support for scienceThe Gutting of America's Medical Research: Here Is Every Canceled or Delayed N.I.H.

We're getting bad news from what seems like every direction these days. Governments and media are all talking about wars and destruction. But this is not new.  We've been through these kinds of events before, too many times, and we're still here and moving forward. We can't let panic, wars and market crashes control our choices.  These thnigs happen without our input. We can control our clarity, courage and conviction to stay on course. If you've been considering planning for future extended care needs, or if you've been working on your plan, don't stop now.  Too many find a reason to pause and then forget their reasons for planning in the first place.  Then, 10 or 20 years go by, and something happens to them or someone close to them, and they restart their search. At that point, plans are much more expensive or not available due to age or health concerns. Let's work together to design your plan today and protect those you love most tomorrow. Schedule
