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. 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.

GM #Nostr ☕😶🤙

Currently having a tough time, ngl. 😔

Mum is really struggling now. There's no way she can drive now, so she needs help with getting to appointments. Family and close friends are visiting from far and wide to basically say their goodbyes. So my wife and I are effectively running a guesthouse on top of it all. Despite putting on a front, of course the kids are picking up on the stress, so that's also complicating things. My boy has been unwell yet again over the last couple of weeks, initially a fever, but now with a lingering cough. Sleep is very disrupted, so my patience is continually being tested with an unusually grouchy and moody little boy.

To top it all my mother in law has just had a fall, and has fractured a lumber vertibrae, and may need surgery as it's a complex fracture.

My own back has been fighting me at times too, as it really doesn't like the added stress, but I hardly feel in a position to complain.

I am also coming to terms with permanently losing 400k sats on Minibits, which is a very substantial amount to me. I don't know where this lost sats end up, but I've tried various reinstalls, and they're not there. I feel bad for not telling my wife too. But the timing is crap.

I really wanted to get the garden and food forest sorted this Spring, after much neglection, but again it's going to be a struggle this year. Although I kind of need the garden work as something positive to work toward, and it's valuable time spent teaching the boy some skills, if I can get it.

Sorry for the downer, frens, but I thought I'd explain why I'm not so active on Nostr right now. It's usually a great source of positivity, so I will try to drop in to at least read a few notes.

Love to you all. 🫂💜

That’s a link to a pdf copy of my book: The Accidental Caregiver’s Guide. Chapter one and two specifically may help you or your spouse with your mother in law to navigate the hospital and rehab.

Hope you find it helpful.

Also #prayerchain

I’ll be purchasing some higher as gifts shortly. Plan to add some of the Pinot noir and cab as well. What would it take to get you to add a signature to the bottles of higher?

Hahah is that a legal issue? It was said with a wink. How long will your buy 5 get the 6th free and free shipping last? Also how many bottles of the ‘21 higher remain?

Haha I took a small position this morning in a retirement account. Hoping for that announcement. And if you don’t want to buy any shares, I’ll trade you a couple for a bottle of wine.

Also Lola’s, playa Avellana

Love Guanacaste! The coco loco in the heart of playa flamingo is a great spot if you are around.

I’ve started with the blue light blocking glasses at night and trying to get more red light naturally but have been looking into a joovv red light.

How long have you had it?

Second photo is 35 minutes later showing cloud from chem trail remaining but drifting to the bottom right due to wind.

Trying to graft some rosemary, and got broccoli, cilantro, banana peppers and cherry tomatoes sprouting well. Old basil seeds did not start so retrying with zen organic basil seeds. Planning to make at least 2 pestos per week for the girls this year. #grownostr

I’ve met his lawyer. Haha

Is there a thumbs down emoji? Would be useful here. Get humble stack sats.
