OT Barbara Smith sent me this information about her book…it actually looked neat. Somebody needs to sponsor me so I can get to read all these books!!!! I wonder if she wrote the Recycling Therapist…the name sounds so familiar. Hmmm. I ponder.
“Still Giving Kisses”
The title of this book reflects one of the few remaining motor acts my mother
is able to perform. Yet, this is a highly significant motor act, one that symbolizes
a continuing connectedness between myself and the Alzheimer's victim I love.
I had never planned to work in the area of geriatrics. But when my mother
developed Alzheimer's disease I was thrust into the world of home care,
Medicare, assisted living and nursing homes. I read numerous books and
learned the lingo of lawyers, the health care bureaucracy and gerontology.
