I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy with a 10+ year focus on geriatrics. Specifically helping people help their parents navigate this current healthcare environment in the US.
It seems no one thinks about their parents having a fall, injury or medical event until they wind up hospitalized and most of the decisions and responsibility falls on the children.
I have written a book titled The Accidental Caregiver’s Guide: The toolkit for navigating the healthcare system and aging in place. It has 153 five star reviews on Amazon. If anyone would like a copy just reach out and I can email you a free pdf. Also happy to post the book for free on nostr if there is a way to do that.
My wife and I are actively reducing our hours working for someone else and look to spend more time raising our young daughters and focusing on our health.

A few very interesting paragraphs in an overall excellent book by John Mark Comer titled: The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry
108 hours into my quarterly fast. Looking forward to breaking it because I like food, not because I feel bad. I could probably break my previous record of 116 hours without much difficulty. Not sure which way I’ll go.
