Ruby Bowen - Alzheimer's

Ruby Bowen was Caroline's grandmother. She was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease after showing symptoms and going through the required diagnostic testing. I thought it was very strong of Caroline to do a study on her own grandmother. My grandmother passed away from Early-Onset Alzheimer's when I was 9 years old, so I don't remember much of her life with it. Now that I'm in school and learning more about rehabilitation and many diseases, I have started asking my mom more questions about what led to the diagnosis. Caroline said her grandmother's first symptoms were having trouble carrying on a conversation because she would lose her train of thought. My grandmother would get very confused by the thermostat. My mom said she would show up at her house and the heat would be set on 90 degrees but my grandmother couldn't figure out why it was so hot. Alzheimer's disease is a horrible thing to watch a loved one go through. I hope and pray for a cure very soon!

Health Literacy

During this class Professor Flick spoke about health promotion, health literacy, and prevention. We learned about the three different types of interventions that aim to reduce risks to health which are: primary, secondary, and tertiary. The primary intervention is meant to prevent the disease or injury before it occurs, secondary is to reduce the impact of a disease that has already occurred, and tertiary limits the impact of an ongoing illness that has lasting effects. I thought the most interesting topic we talked about was health literacy. I honestly had never heard about the topic, but it was so interesting to learn about. We learned about how it effects people's ability to use the healthcare system, share personal information, engage in self-care management, and understand risk. We watched a video about a woman that couldn't read very well and the doctor's office gave her a lot of papers to fill out. She did as much as she could and turned it in, only to end up having ...

ABI experiences

I really enjoyed learning about Acquired Brain Injuries during our class today. I personally know many people that have suffered from all different types of ABI's, so I liked learning about it in more detail. When I was young I actually watched someone obtain an ABI, so I have always found them interesting. I was at a tumbling competition and the elite tumblers were competing so everyone was watching because they were so skilled. One guy was on the trampoline and did a double back tuck. He barely under-rotated, but just enough to cause him to land leaning forward, so much that it shot him off the trampoline and onto the concrete. He immediately began seizing, and unfortunately a few days later he passed away. Another experience was during my freshman year of high school. A gym class was playing flag football and two of my friends dove for the ball at the same time, colliding heads. The top of one guy's head crashed into the side of the other's. He also immediately started s...
