Although I am a per diem therapist I have a steady gig with our "Senior Intensive Outpatient" program. We have many diagnoses that we serve: depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, etc. Along with different types of dementia of varying in degree in some of the patients. It has been quite the learning curve for myself, but after a particularly rough day with an older gentleman with Alzheimer's... I thought of you. Your blog reminds me of the very human "other side" to dementia when at times I have my clinical hat on too long.<br /><br />Congratulations on the pregnancy and good luck with all of the changes! <br /><br />P.S. The tiredness will pass and more exciting strange pregnancy symptoms will occur! :-)Veronica Campbellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8867077968362985564.post-79720772004829455042011-08-30T11:03:41.604-07:002011-08-30T11:03:41.604-07:00Kristin,

Your strength and your family's strength is truly an inspiration! I'm proud of how amazing you are doing at "hanging in there!" I hope that Autum is quieter for you too! Take care! <br />Xoxo<br />Marcie<br />P.S. Congratulations on your soon-to- arrive little bundle of joy!! :) Oh!

Team ONEHOPE is wishing for nothing but the best and happiness for her in SF and I can't wait to hear how everything is going! <br /><br />I always look forward to your posts... they're a quiet reminder to push through the tough times and remain strong and ready to take on whatever life throws your way. I'm truly inspired by yours and Megan's strength and humor :o)<br /><br />Congrats on the baby news and best wishes in your big move! <br /><br />MegAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8867077968362985564.post-81873297108060323072011-08-30T09:21:47.592-07:002011-08-30T09:21:47.592-07:00Not only are the flights only an hour, but you can...Not only are the flights only an hour, but you can fly round-trip on Virgin America for $100 total! Ok, now that I'm finished being a salesperson, congrats on the soon-to-be baby, and best wishes in this transitional time. It's really crummy what happened to your sis, but he showed his true colors, and at least she now knows what kind of person he was. Better now than down the road... She can go spread her wings in SF :) I know it's hard with your dad and his situation, but he would want you both to live your lives, whatever that entails (babies and new houses and moving away, etc. ) and I know it's hard sometimes because you end up feeling a little bit selfish, but he would want that for you both. Hope the rest of summer goes smoothly!Lindsayhttp://promacks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8867077968362985564.post-12955315078517967362011-08-30T09:14:08.127-07:002011-08-30T09:14:08.127-07:00I LOVE your blog Kristen and always look forward t...I LOVE your blog Kristen and always look forward to a new post.
