Teresa Talk: The Pressure's On
http://teresa-teresatalk.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-pressures-on.html
Lessons of faith in a caregiver's life. Brain Injury Alliance of Nebraska. Outlook Magazine, from the S.D.A. Church in Mid-America. Thursday, May 28, 2015. Can't believe so much has happened in the short time since my last post on this blog. I not only ended up in ER once for my bronchitis, but a few days later I drove myself there again when my jaw swelled up enormously in just a couple of hours! It may be just a reminder that the closing events of this earth's history will be rapid ones too. As my mind...

Lessons of faith in a caregiver's life. Brain Injury Alliance of Nebraska. Outlook Magazine, from the S.D.A. Church in Mid-America. Sunday, June 28, 2015. When the Bough Breaks. I called the man who mows our lawn, hoping he'd have some ideas on how to remove this "tree" from our yard. Larry said he'd see to it and not to worry. He needed to buy another chain saw anyway and would be by in a day or two to take care of it. Glad no one was hurt! It was a BIG one! Dean using a chain saw- WOW! I got there righ...

Teresa Talk: My Scoliosis
http://teresa-teresatalk.blogspot.com/p/my-scoliosis.html
Lessons of faith in a caregiver's life. Brain Injury Alliance of Nebraska. Outlook Magazine, from the S.D.A. Church in Mid-America. I have multiple spinal curvatures (scoliosis), resulting in many casts and braces growing up, and a total spinal fusion when I was twelve. This has resulted in my being on oxygen since 2005- from a deformed chest cavity. Here's a few photos of my childhood. Who would guess that I'd grow up and BE a caregiver for someone else!

Teresa Talk: The Faller Gets a Walker
http://teresa-teresatalk.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-faller-gets-walker.html
Lessons of faith in a caregiver's life. Brain Injury Alliance of Nebraska. Outlook Magazine, from the S.D.A. Church in Mid-America. Wednesday, August 12, 2015. The Faller Gets a Walker. What a wonderful idea it was to get Dean to agree to using a walker. He's a regular "faller"- not the timberman variety that he used to call himself in his logging days- but the kind where you either kiss the sidewalk or tumble on the carpet. But here's the one piece of the puzzle that I hadn't anticipated. Someone ha...

Lessons of faith in a caregiver's life. Brain Injury Alliance of Nebraska. Outlook Magazine, from the S.D.A. Church in Mid-America. Monday, March 23, 2015. I've heard of people with dementia having wandering behaviors, and I just naturally think of them taking a walk through the neighborhood.actually someone else's neighborhood by the time they get through. Police are often called to assist in these haphazard excursions of the elderly. Perhaps I shouldn't be so harsh with him and allow him these pleasure...

Teresa Talk: December 2014

Lessons of faith in a caregiver's life. Brain Injury Alliance of Nebraska. Outlook Magazine, from the S.D.A. Church in Mid-America. Sunday, December 28, 2014. Wearing a New Hat For a New Year. The one gift he got that night that will last was the new cowboy hat they gave him. It is a great improvement over the old battered one he was wearing. Christmas, coming right before the New Year, is the perfect time for replacing the old with the new. May we all look forward to a New Year in Christ. Thursday, Dece...

Lessons of faith in a caregiver's life. Brain Injury Alliance of Nebraska. Outlook Magazine, from the S.D.A. Church in Mid-America. Thursday, February 26, 2015. Last night our son-in-law came over to set up a new wireless printer for me. Could have done it myself, but wouldn't have been easy; and besides it was a chance to see the grandkids for an evening. Life itself is a race. Sometimes I feel like retiring my track shoes, but the people around me indicate that I'd better stay in the race awhile lo...
