Schweitzer Klassifikation
I offer my insights to those struggling to regain their physical and mental independence after a serious illness and to the loved ones who care for them. I have survived a divorce, a brain aneurism, a stroke, and polymyositis. After one whole year in five different facilities, I had to learn how to deal with the loss of privacy, loss of mobility, loss of communication, loss of body and mind control, and loss of financial decisions-my whole being as a functional person. I am finally independent again and loving life. My story is full of challenges, breakthroughs, dos and don'ts, and lots of laughter. I even include a food guide for tube feeders with some of my favorite recipes. I believe that, even though I tube feed, my diet doesn't have to be bland-neither does my life!
