I had like 8h long assignment related meltdown yesterday and eventually John told me off for not being flexible enough with my study. What happened was I decided I’m not writing evidenced person centered care plan because if I have to provide evidence, that means the care plan would not be person centered, it would be evidence centered.

But after John told me off  finally decided, ok, I’m writing it, I have no other choice and I somehow managed to start. I have approximately 30% now.

I’m also coming to terms with reading academic papers. I had real problems with those a few days ago but they are not that difficult if I focus on looking for certain information rather that read all of it and try to absorb it. Still, some statements absolutely shock me.

I read this today about people with dementia:

When individuals were asked to identify themselves in photographs (…) [they] exhibited unimpaired self recognition.

Ok, I think I need to take a good look in the mirror. Will I also exhibit unimpaired self recognition? Surely something must have changed in how I perceive myself with all those recent changes in my life.
