8 years ago today, I began an unexpected journey from SICK to RECOVERING. I ain’t done. Today, I reflect on my struggle from the #ICU, to my new life. Grateful for this milestone & praying other EtOH’s also find Doctors & Nurses who don’t give up on them!🥰 #Walk4PICS #MedX #LOVE

“The darkness took me; I strayed out of thought and time, and I wandered far on roads that I will not tell.” -Gandalf, LOTR The Two Towers (JRR Tolkien) Gandalfs description of his victory over the Balrog, precisely describes the battle and victory over #Delirium

Delirium develops over hours/days, dementia over months/years. "Dad was fine yesterday, today he's a different person" = think delirium, not dementia progression.

Clinicians- Critical illness survivors participating in my research tell me all the time their needs are not being met by well-intentioned clinicians in inpatient and outpatient settings. I hope you'll register for this event, to learn how you can improve the care you provide.

Emergency Department (ED) staff: screen ALL patients over 65 for delirium. Emergency departments are where it's most missed and most dangerous. Make it as routine as checking blood pressure.

“Say to them, say to the down-keepers, the sun-slappers, the self-soilers, the harmony-hushers, "Even if you are not ready for day it cannot always be night." You will be right. For that is the hard home-run. Live not for battles won. Live not for the-end-of-the-song. Live in

Nine years after the ICU and I still wake with fresh cuts from pulling my IV out in my sleep. PICS doesn’t just fade — it follows you home. Join me at #Walk4PICS on Sept 27 to raise awareness & support survivors. Walk, share, or donate: https://t.co/g3zj50zIpt
