They were both hospitalized with neck and back injuries, and it took months of physical therapy to partially recover. They both worked despite migraines and intractable pain, moving from one job to another, one doctor to another throughout the years. (more…)

Hosts: Starr & Bob Calo–oy

Pastor Pete had spent a lot of time helping others with similar troubles and situations throughout his career. He had not given much thought that it would or could happen to him or his wife. His wife Mary Ann was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease one day. After about ten years, with many blessings and help from fellow parishioners (which she calls her angels), they could no longer stay by herself. At one point there were around 65 volunteers helping-out. It is a wonderfully rewarding experience it is to help others in this way. (more…)

This holiday season, if your loved one has any type of dementia, don’t have flash strobes going-off in their eyes as it is very provocative and can set them off! Also, at Thanksgiving or Christmas meals, don’t give them too many choices as it is quite confusing and overwhelming. Give them what you think they will like and maybe a choice or two out of courtesy. (more…)

WellMed partnered with the City of San Antonio, Department of Community Initiatives to supply free flu shots to all seniors in San Antonio, even if they weren’t their patients. They even helped provide about 3000 flu vaccines to those home-bound patients that were unable to get to their doctor’s office. What a wonderful service. They go-on to say that it is a myth that the flu shot is dangerous. The flu vaccine does NOT cause the flu. (more…)

Hosts: Starr & Bob Calo–oy
Guest: Melissa Coy & Shawn Mollica
Broadcast Date: February 7, 2009
I want to share with you today a tremendous service for you caregivers. It is our sincere pleasure to bring you services and resources to make your caregiving job much, much easier. These guests are both with House Call Doctors, a company that provides a service from days gone by, and most would think are only a thing of the past! Founded in 2000 in Austin Texas, they provide services in other cities here in Texas as well. Basically you don’t necessarily need to have home health care, or even be bed bound to use their services. Many people just don’t have access to transportation, friends or family to drive them to a doctor’s appointment. Some of their patients are just too ill to drive, or live in a rural setting and the drive into town is lengthy. (more…)

Listen to Volume # 092 — Dr. Barry Jacobs – “Dr. Barry Jacobs – The Emotional Survival Guide for Caregivers ” (Podcast)
“Caregiving 101” on KKYX Radio 680am San Antonio, Texas
Hosts: Starr & Bob Calo–oy
Guest: Dr. Barry Jacobs
Broadcast Date: November 21, 2009
Siblings often argue about the care of their parents. They all have their own ideas on what would be best for them. It is most difficult to get everybody all on the same page with prognosis and best care for them at any time. Sometimes other siblings criticize from afar, which isn’t useful, and usually drives the actual caregiver crazy. Instead of being happy and pulling together, this kind of situation brings out many of those old feelings and injustices from the past, which reflects on current issues. Sometimes these feelings have been lying dormant for decades even. Often it’s about “you were always mom’s favorite.” Bitterness and anger arise concerning those siblings who don’t come around often enough, or call enough, or write enough. (more…)
