In today's episode, join hosts Ginger Smith and einav avni as they share a poignant and uplifting conversation about Ginger's journey with dementia and her remarkable recovery. Ginger, a retired speech-language pathologist, opens up about her initial denial of her diagnosis of Lewy body dementia, her harrowing experiences in a nursing home, and the challenges of adjusting to a new identity as her cognitive abilities improve.
She discusses the crucial role of caregivers, the practice of "fibbing" to navigate the world of dementia, and her use of lucid dreaming to cope with hallucinations. Ginger's story is one of hope, resilience, and the transformative power of empathy and support. So, join us as we explore the depth of human strength and the importance of understanding and compassion in the face of adversity.
More about Ginger:
I'm an 86-year-old woman who had to retire as a speech-language pathologist due to encroaching dementia symptoms ten years ago. I spent two years in a nursing home. On hospice, I incredibly got well and am home. I'm grateful and fulfilled and happy to share my healing experiences as a person who lived with severe dementia and recovered.
