I'm writing a book!

I know, like I didn't already have enough to do! Well this surly won't be a page turning thriller but I'm writing it out of frustration. With my job I see people everyday who say "If I had only known!" Well now I'm going to tell all! It's going to be a resource book for people with less mobility and their caregivers. I will hopefully explain things about medical equipment, senior advocacy, when to get help, loosing independence, local and national resources, etc. I am hoping to have it done in a year and publish it myself with a print on demand service. So if anyone has any advice I would love to hear it! I have looked all over to find a single resource for my patients to explain the basics of these things and have not found one single thing I can point my patients and caregivers to. So hopefully I will write something useful that people will want. Let me know what you think!

And... today Logan and I are going to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo to see Brad Paisley in concert with my friend from work and her daughter. It should be fun. Then tomorrow we are going to start getting our garden going. Ya, I know a little late here but thats the beauty of it. We actually have two planting seasons for summer plants because it is really too hot in July and August for many vegetables.

  1. Stacy - that is wonderful. That you can find time to be an advocate for your patients plus everything else you do is great. Maybe you will find a new career out of this, or at least an extension to what you already do. Take care of yourself, lady!

  2. Tammy - Yes, I have gotten some really good feedback from people I work with and a few patients that I have told about it. If it works out well I should have a little passive income. If not then maybe I will have something that will help a few people out and I will have had an interesting learning experience along the way. Who would have thought that I would have tried this?

  3. You will be great at writing the book. You are so disciplined and knowledgeable. Sorry it has taken me so long to read your blog but it is really neat. And the Rodeo was a blast. Hope Logan has fun at work on Friday.
