(From the Community Caregiving Journal 3-word prompts Sanity, Disappoint, Brush — and Sick, Frame, Green) I missed doing last week’s prompt so I’m combining it with this week’s. I’ve just listened to NPR’s show On Point, hosted by Tom Ashbrook. His topic was, “A New Way to Care for Patients With Dementia” (or, as one [...]

(From the Community Caregiving Journal 3-word prompt Martyr, Baggage, Claim.) The time was about 30 years ago, and I was in my mid-20s. I was living alone and self-sufficient for the first time, on my way toward getting a divorce. I had good friends and good neighbors, day job and freelance work. My mother had [...]

(From the Community Caregiving Journal 3-word prompt Failure, Spot, Horizon.) 1. I am not a failure because I am the person who shows up. 2.

(From the Community Caregiving Journal 3-word prompt Club, Thunder, Pour.) This has been a mixed, slow, exhausting, but on balance a pretty good week. My partner is again on antibiotics (both pills and drops) for her toe. We were back at the podiatrist on Thursday. The results of the latest culture will be in on [...]

(From the Community Caregiving Journal 3-word prompt $#&!, Take, Shadow.) As she does frequently lately, my partner asked me what emotions I was feeling. I told her I felt very thankful that I had my eReader with me during her five hours of prep time prior to her 20-minute foot soak on Saturday. She told [...]

(From the Community Caregiving Journal 3-word prompt Martini, Sand, Disappear.) I used to be shaken much more frequently, like a James Bond martini. Shaken when my partner introduced chaos into the day, like her recent use of her cooking coil as a space heater. Or when her theories ran amok. Her most recent, rather benign [...]

(From the Community Caregiving Journal 3-word prompt Plain, Betray, Timber.) The line that stays with me is my partner’s admission that her distrust of the plumbers and their motives had probably been due to her various “pressures” — from dealing with her MS diagnosis to family history issues to new changes such as her taking [...]

(From the Community Caregiving Journal 3-word prompt Alone, Greed, Pardon.) These past few days have been quiet as our days go, and for that I am immensely thankful.

(From the Community Caregiving Journal 3-word prompt Rise, Blind, String.) Yesterday my partner thanked me. She’s been reading our copy of the Complete Family Guide to Schizophrenia by Kim Mueser and Susan Gingerich. Schizophrenia had been one of her interim diagnoses.
