Dream Dilemma

It was an interesting night.  I slept well for a few hours and then I began to have the strangest dreams…but they weren’t action dreams…they were like vignettes.  At one point a big word appeared before me:  NOXZEMA.    There were no people.  Nothing but a big word!  During other... Read moreChevron

Time Magazine Suggests Factors to Consider When Considering Long-Term Care Insurance

My dad has been after me to consider taking out long term insurance since it seems like there's a history of dementia on my mom's side of the family. But what should I look for when selecting this type of insurance.

Driving and Dementia

Last year I discussed an important topic that I believe is worth revisiting. I say this because in our weekly patient discussion, it is discussed more often than any other topic, except for the individual diagnosis for each patient. The topic that I am referring to is driving.  For personal, economic, social, medical and many other... Read moreChevron

Scrapbook Journaling...Better than Journaling!
