Hello Nostr!

I’ve been lurking here for a couple of months and decided it is time to interact in a more meaningful way. To create content vs. just the occasional reply to someone else’s note.

Also previously lurked on X but never interacted as I just didn’t feel part of the community. I am now nostr only.

Anyway, here is a little about me. I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy with a 10+ year focus on geriatrics. Specifically helping people help their parents navigate this current healthcare environment in the US.

It seems no one thinks about their parents having a fall, injury or medical event until they wind up hospitalized and most of the decisions and responsibility falls on the children who usually have little to no knowledge of how this broken system has to be managed.

I have written a book titled The Accidental Caregiver’s Guide: The toolkit for navigating the healthcare system and aging in place. It has 153 five star reviews on Amazon. If anyone would like a copy just reach out and I can email you a free pdf. Also happy to post the book for free on nostr if there is a way to do that.

My wife and I are actively reducing our hours working for someone else and look to spend more time raising our young daughters and focusing on our health.

I look forward to contributing to the value for value community here. Please let me know if I can be of any assistance. Thank you for reading this and have a great day!

Winn

Welcome

Thank you! Looking forward to building community.

Welcome Sir! I’d love to read that book. I’m curious.

That should be the easiest way to access the PDF. Let me know what you think!

Welcome!

Thanks! I’m enjoying it so far.

Thought I’d go with the boot initially but because she had no desire to balance it on her head, it looks like she’s being stepped on. So we switched it up to the flip flop. She was very happy to get some cheese after posing. #shoeonhead

Welcome 🙏🏻

I’ve seen how hard this is, especially navigating the system for foreign family members. Welcome 🤙

Welcome 🫂

Thanks! Happy to be here.

Welcome. Very smart to get your zaps setup prior to your un-lurking message.

I like this guy 👆👆👆👆👆👆

Welcome Winn! 🤙

Thanks!

Welcome to #nostr

Welcome to the conversation!

Howdy. Good to have you on NOSTR.

We recently sold our small ranch and one of the motivation for doing so was to help take care of our 95 year old mother. We have experienced the broken medical system first hand. Looking forward to reading your book.

Still working out my zapping but I’m sorry to hear that. It affects so many people and you have no idea until you experience it first hand. This link should work for a pdf copy of my book. Let me know if not and I’ll get it to you another way.

Welcome!

I have no idea how I ended up among this incredible group of legends, but I’m stoked to have joining the #nostr family!

When I’m firing on all cylinders I start each day with an intention journal. Part of which is 10 ideas. Today my list of 10 was people to include on my first nostr post. I didn’t overthink it or try to optimize it, just trusted it would be the 10 people who I needed to reach out to. Your posts from yesterday were probably still fresh in my mind this morning.

Also I saw you affected by the recent hurricanes. We had some significant damage on property in Augusta.

2024 hurricane season was brutal

GM, welcome! We have such awesome people here!

It really seems so!

welcome 🤗

Health is wealth. Cant wait to read your book. Congratulations in advance.

Thanks! That’s so true. Here’s a pdf copy of my book. Hope it helps!

Great shift of focus in your life. Keep adding value for others, but prioritize caring for your family and community!

this is of under-appreciated importance

Welcome to #Docchain

Hahah thanks. I don’t fully understand how that works. Should I follow docchain?

Welcome to Nostr. I am/was also a physiotherapist, but focussed on chronic pain management. Now working at Dell Technologies. Nostr is a weird and wonderful beast that takes some time to get to know.

Thanks for reaching out! I saw your Maitland book and thought that was quite interesting. My wife has taken the Maitland courses. Primal as a client seems pretty straightforward. I have not ventured into many other clients to date. Just trying to get my feet under me here.
