MAKING AN IMPATIENT PATIENT - PATIENT!

 MEETING or NOT MEETING NEEDS!

 

Make an impatient patient...patient! 
MEET NEEDS!

Make a patient patient...impatient! 
DON’T MEET NEEDS!

Keep a patient patient...patient!
MEET NEEDS!

Keep an impatient patient...impatient! 
DON’T MEET NEEDS!

If you don't already know how to get desired results, it has to do with MEETING or NOT MEETING his/her NEEDs. Check to see the results. You'll find your answer very soon. The more wisely the positive reinforcements are used is reflected in the more satisfied experience the patient is having!

The more wisely + regularly the patient's needs are met, the more the patient's patience will rise. The patient just acts better because the patient psychologically feels better.

ACT ACCORDINGLY!

STAFF, VOLUNTEERS and PATIENTS -

WE ALL HAVE THEM!

SPARK of LIFE - Dementia

---It is said that the memories are still there...it is just that the patient/resident has lost his/her ability to retrieve them. They would need assistance in obtaining that skill again. In the video, we see what can happen when a person becomes re-connected. This video was shown at the EDEN ALTERNATIVE training many of us went to in 2012. Laguna Honda held a three day training put on by the people from Eden Alternative. The above video is one that they had shown.

---I was the only resident invited to the three-day event. I was very glad that we were doing this as I really thought that we hit upon something very real that we, the whole LHH community made up of staff and residents, would hold onto for awhile. So many staffers at the time came away with a new heart and a vow-like mindset that they realized that Laguna Honda maybe didn't have as many lost causes as they have previously thought. Perhaps, many of the residents just have to be reawakened to once, again, participate in life.

---The video spells out pretty clearly that with the proper stimulus...this may happen. It reminds me of the song, ''Hello, Is There Anybody In There?'' You are like a detective trying to find the spark that still exists inside, somewhere. ''The game is afoot,'' as Sherlock Holmes was known for saying. That may be the new frontier that STAR TREK was searching for. To boldly go where someone hasn't gone in a real, long time. There are many possibilities. Be Well!

5 STAGES of ACCEPTANCE - APPLIED to MYSELF!

The ''LEFT-HAND'' Situation

---To state more clearly and to answer why this particular essay is so
important in my own life and why I think it is important to ALL of us. It is an example in my own experience of how one goes from the ''darkness'' into the ''light.'' Well placed Affirmation along the way gave me what I needed to continue. I know that this will work in your life, too!

---I was born with my left-hand missing four fingers. REMEMBER: my missing fingers represent whatever it may be that you, yourself, has yet to accept. Believe me, through much experience, I'll tell you that we are much in the same boat in this! The stages I went through toward Acceptance are very much the same as Kubler-Ross' stages of accepting situations in our lives. She, herself, came upon these as she was looking into how we ''grieve.''

.

---FIVE STAGES---

.
DENIAL - Keeping my hand in my pocket and not letting others or anyone see or experience the real me. It seemed easier, but I wasn't being honest with myself and that is very important.

ANGER - Came about in the form that I should be able to show my hand, but I just couldn't.

BARGAINING - ''If God will grow my fingers than...'' I became a bit irrational at times because it would keep me from having to face the reality of having the missing fingers. This stage taught me much as I could see that I had some growing and learning to do. My ideas of ''God'' greatly matured here.

DESPAIR - I realized that there was NOTHING I could do to change my situation-except Change My Attitude. Growth was happening, Acceptance was taking place, but I felt very helpless. I needed to - TRUST that it was OKAY to be me. I had to let go of the way I thought it was supposed to be, and actually get on with things. It was one of the most painful situations I ever had to face, but it carried great rewards with it. I was closer to being the person I was born to be. It was in this time - frame of my life that I became a serious candidate for joining the Jesuit Priesthood. This was in the late 1970's.
---A word to the wise in all of this. It is a PROCESS and one will HAVE to allow some time to embody what is going on with oneself. Take it slow and don't try to force anything. It is a natural growth process so all we have to do is just be honest with ourselves each step of the journey we are on. We will grow into whatever we are to gain from all this. Be good to yourself and remember...the simpler the better.

ACCEPTANCE - Gradually you find yourself NOT hiding your hand, or whatever it might be, in your ''pocket'' or anywhere else for that matter. In fact, your attitude can turn so much that you forget that at one time it was even an issue. It is the process where suddenly you can see that which you thought to be a ''Curse,'' is really a ''Blessing.'' Be Well.

Most of this was written in 2005 or so!
