I am sick and just want to sleep, but my grandson made me color this picture of #Battlehearts2 #CyclopsKing #respite for #oldpeopleofmastodon

Desert Oasis. Deep in the desert, no escape. Searing heat from the sun, trapped by surrounding hills. Out of nowhere, a welcome respite of cool grass & blue water. Real or a mirage?

3...as long as I keep it on the boil, and has become my go to respite ride. It's not fast by any means, vibrates fillings loose, shits me to tears at times, but damn, it helps keep that black dog away, and that's what counts. 😁😎<end>

I forgot to post some of these! Timelapse of the respite card in Lumi's story.
One piece I really had to rely on reference for poses

Usually I share a poem or a memory with you in these quiet hours but tonight I share from closer to the heart.
My 17 year old son likes to serenade me with his acoustic guitar and I happily accept the invitation, no matter how late in the evening or how tired I feel. These precious moments I will take with me into the great beyond but for now... I'd like to share a brief moment of aural joy with you.
Come and listen a while...

As well as parrots, flowers, and other pretty stuff, I've always enjoyed motorbikes, & have had one since I was 14 or so - it's a long time ago. 🤷♂️
Anyway, the Australian NDIS provides funding for my wife to participate in fun things she couldn't otherwise do, and respite from my carer duties. Two days a week, 6hrs straight. "I'm free" sounds wrong, but it's fair.
In hood weather, I like to ride old bikes, today, a vintage 1973 Ducati 250 Desmo. It can be a challenge. My last two rides ended in bike rescues. It's 50 and vibrates fillings loose, of course bits break or wear out. 🤷♂️
Once out of the mountains I had the roads to myself, 175km of highways, byways, & bits needing lots of work. Great fun, & only a few things went wrong - two fixed roadside & one at home 😂 Perhaps I need to carry tools.
A good day respiting does a lot for my mental state. Knowing more days are coming helps immensely.

This is a vid showing how #friendly & affectionate my #cat is with #people 😻 He just met Dad's #Respite #CommunityWorker that day ❤ He won her over, fast. She is now a cat person 🤣✌

7/ in-home agencies often don’t screen or do the bare minimum screening. they often send people who don’t or won’t do the job for which they were hired, or people who are abusive (we’ve experienced both). many in-home care workers rob their #patients (something we’ve also experienced)
#respite stays in nursing homes are dicey at best, as fed guides require patients receive just 2.7 hrs attention/day, enough to give meds and change a depends or two, little more. this cultivates room for neglect.
Uffdah, another #respite caregiver resigns... i know it's not about me, not about my kid... still... it's hard.

I’m learning about #mastodon and have discovered that an intro post with hashtags about my interests could help , so here goes:
I am a #physiotherapist working for a #charity that provides #respite for people with #neurological conditions, most commonly #multiplesclerosis #mnd #stroke. I am interested in #disability issues, #wheelchairs #exercise etc. Outside of work, I enjoy #sewing #yoga #dogs #parenting #family #food #knitting #aga. I am currently thinking of getting an #ebike.

It's been a busy few weeks.
Finally getting a chance to slow down a bit and reflect.
Reminded me of this photo taken on a contemplative walk with a good friend last month.
#Houston continues to surprise me. This spot is well inside the beltway, a short bike ride up the White Oak Bayou from my office in fact. Yet, it feels like it's in the middle of the country. It's quiet, green, peaceful.
