In this episode, I explore the powerful story of my mother's journey through illness and cultural tradition, shedding light on the challenges faced by individuals living with Alzheimer's disease. The first half of the episode centers on my mother, who was admitted to the hospital due to high blood sugar levels related to Alzheimer's. I discuss the unique challenges of hospitalization for someone with Alzheimer's and how the disease can complicate medical care. In the second half of the episode, we hear about my mother's decision to take a "cursed finger" to get out of her marriage, despite the cultural stigma surrounding such a choice. Throughout the episode, we witness the strength and resilience of the human spirit and examine the impact of cultural expectations on personal decisions. The episode underscores the importance of understanding the complexities of Alzheimer's disease and cultural traditions to promote compassionate care and support for those facing difficult choices.
