If only this could have been predicted!
People age so irregularly.
America's aging population faces a growing shortage of geriatric care
"More than 80 million Americans are expected to be older than 65 by 2050,"
"only 174 out of 419 available positions in geriatric specialty programs were filled in 2023, making it one of the most unfilled programs the organization tracks."
Me w/Dr. Matthew Lefferman, a kind dr. He specializes in #geriatrics & goes to the places where his expertise is needed. Here we are @ the Kensington Redondo (he's holding my book, Finding the Right Words: A Story of Literature, Grief, and the Brain), where we watched "Taking Care," a beautiful film honoring Adele Miller, mother to Lauren Miller Rogen & mother-in-law to Seth Rogen. Their foundation, HFC, supports #caregivers of people with #dementia.

Mother is becoming very upset with her memory lapses; she's beginning not to trust herself. Palliative ji-jitsu is called for.
We're both sleepy-heads. Awoke at 5:45 a.m.; Mother said she'd been awake since 3:00.
"Wake me back up at 8:00."
"I hope you weren't overthinking!"
"I am now...!"
A nice visual primer for us laypeople to understand which #brain regions are at issue with various symptoms of #Alzheimers disease and other forms of #dementia.
"...Working in #PalliativeCare, I’ve seen too many dying people subjected to invasive treatment in place of frank conversations..."
