Living with dementia story # 🤷‍♂️ 1,000? 🤭 Back from out-of-town meeting, retrieve laptop from hiding, turn on - why won’t mouse work? Change batteries, nothing. Buy new mouse, view pictograph, see thingamajig to plug in & then 🤦‍♂️. I forgot the thingamajig! Didn’t need new one. 😱

Excellent presentation and discussions with Dr. David Phipps from Research Impact Canada and insights from Jim Mann on his experience on research teams as a person with lived experience and patient partner.

Where’s the sun? Rain rain go away!

Garden centres often have the funniest and snappiest pieces for the wall or desk. I saw this one and thought it might bring a smile to your face.

I’m thrilled to see the 2024 stats for the flippingstigma.com Toolkit include hundreds of new visitors, the continued interest in identifying stigma, & the Family, Friend & Care Providers sections. Fun fact-site gets more visits Tuesdays! Enjoy your weekend.

Yesterday hit a personal high!🍾 What special activity did I do, you ask? I had 6 Zoom meetings with the first starting at 8:00 am & the last ended at 6:00. I can assure you no money exchanged hands. 😱 Preference is to not repeat any time soon. It was a good day notwithstanding

We're recruiting for a study focused on the experiences and perspectives of people living with dementia living independently (alone in the community setting). We're going to be conducting co-design workshops with the Health Design Lab at Emily Carr University of Art +Design

I’m so Shocked, so Angry and deeply saddened by this campaign film.

On a gorgeous Vancouver Monday we were stopped at a red light and I noticed this beautiful sight,

After a 2-night absence (at meetings) we’re back and I think it took Buttercup all of 30 minutes after I sat down to settle on my lap. The 2-days were fabulous and productive but it is good to be back.

Our morning visitors in Victoria @victoriaisgreen don’t respect privacy and are very outspoken!

Thks to The Vancouver Sun for publishing today my letter “Those living in care home not ‘patients’.” Words matter, I wrote, & residents in LTC are living in their home & aren’t ‘patients’ receiving the level of care delivered in hospitals. I hope many will read & adjust their wording

We need a trained dementia care workforce that is equipped with communication skills that support person centered care. #PSWDementiaCare

I know I’m not allowed here, but I’m following the sun!
