Hi there. It seems I'm not the only one going through post traumatic stress disorder. Other family members are as well.
One suggestion from one of my family members was to hire a medical student during the summer to sit with Truett a couple of hours a day. Pay someone in the medical field at UF interested in dementia patients, or to vounteer for health care work. Definitely has to be a male.
The two of them could bond. The male could push Truett outside in the fresh air. They could become friends; thus, relieving me and my daughter from the guilt we feel for not visiting my husband daily. They could play cards. Casino. Popcorn and movies.
Also, relieving the guilt that my daughter and I cannot be there as often as Truett needs, or that we feel he needs.
Hello, someone out there. Do you need a two hour job daily to relieve us? Want to learn about demetia? Want to befriend a very special man who needs someone daily?
Truett is very special and has many stories to tell. He is a pillar in our community and has been for years. The family just needs someone who can bond with him while he is in the nursing home.
Are you looking for a summer job?
