The Alzheimer's Association Medic Alert + Safe Return bracelet cost $50. The bracelet carries the name of the person suffering from Alzheimer's, and a toll free number that can be called if the person is unable to provide their address or phone number when lost. Current estimates indicate that sixty percent of persons suffering from Alzheimer's wander away and get lost. The bracelet is a great solution to this problem.

We see them for people who are allergic to certain things, have chronic illnesses, or special medical issues, like organ transplants. But many people don’t like to wear them. Would a tattoo be the solution? According to this USA Today article, Tattoos being used for medical alerts , tattoos alerting people of their medical condition is becoming an option for some people. And it’s more common that we probably realize. There’s a Wikipedia entry for medical tattoos , and there are discussions about them on various blogs and sites, like Diabetes Advocacy and The Diabetic Lifestyle Journal. What do you think? Is it a good solution or - in your opinion - a drastic one? I ha...

As mentioned in previous articles at the Caregivers Beacon, if someone is in a care facility there have still been instances in which a person has gone out through the doors, perhaps following a group of visitors, and wandered off, to become missing.

An article on Friday, March 28, 2008, in the San Luis Obispo Tribune says that Bernice Holcomb, an 85 year old woman with dementia, was missing from a care facililty at 1755 Skyview Lane, Paso Robles, (San Luis Obispo County) California. She evidently walked away from the facility. She was found at 6:30 on North River Road.Not long ago a man with dementia disappeared from his home in Pismo Beach, (San Luis Obispo County), CA, and was found 20 miles away riding a bicycle in Santa Maria.

He wore a Project Lifesaver Bracelet, available from the sheriff's department. Rob Bryn, Sheriff's Department, said, "He was 20 miles away, 83 years old on a bike. This is totally outside of the dementia profile for a search. We would have never found him."It was the first time Mr. Joseph Taylor had gone that far from home. Usually when a person with dementia is missing the search is in the nearby area. The Project Lifesaver Bracelet can be tracked by land or air.Luckily this story has a happy ending.

Like my dreams, for example. The other day, I had a dream about a friend from high school. In my dream, this friend was a doctor at my local hospital, where all my cancer poking and prodding takes place. It makes sense this guy was a doctor -- last I heard from him, he was in medical school. Where he practices medicine, I had no idea. But maybe my dream was a clue. Maybe it was sign this old pal is right here in Gainesville, Florida. Nope. I did a Google search and he's in Ohio -- right where we graduated from high school and he attended medical school. Not so much meaning in that dream. That's OK. I'm on to my next life interpretation now.Ever since I was diagnosed with breast cancer my brother-in-...
