Rounding at Iowa: New Treatments for Alzheimer’s Disease
This is one of the latest Rounding@Iowa podcasts and it’s about new treatments for Azheimer’s Disease, with one specific agent called Lecanemab. I’m an old psychiatrist, and I remember my clinical impresson of the previous medications for Alzheimer’s Disease, one of which was Donepezil.

The Haunted Bellman’s Luggage Carts
When we moved into the hotel we’re camping in to wait for our house to be built, I rediscovered the joy of driving the bellman’s luggage cart. Does anyone besides me find this a major challenge? I always get the cart with the crazy, wobbly wheel. Worse yet, they are impossible to steer and the…

Mall Walker
Our hotel is about a 20 minute walk from the shopping mall. Both ways it’s about a 2.5 mile walk. I’ve been over there a few times and I think I’m becoming a mall walker. The other day at the mall, an older lady approached me and asked me if I’d help open her water…

When Do We Get Out of the Woods?

Getting Back Into Juggling Shape!
We’ve been so busy moving that I’ve laid off juggling for a while. I’m sore in every muscle! We’ve moved into a hotel for a couple of months while our new house is being built. I’ll get back into juggling shape soon!

Hotel Iowa
Well, we’re in the next stage of relocation, which is the Hotel California-excuse me, I mean the Hotel Iowa, so to speak. We’re camping out a hotel while our house is under construction. We were up well after midnight moving before we got to the hotel. We had a Casey’s pizza for dinner. The movers…

Boxes Are Everything!
As if you haven’t already guessed long before now, we’re moving. I don’t need to tell any of you what a happy, thrilling, fulfilling experience this is. Right. The added wrinkle this time is that we’re camping out in a hotel while our house is being built. The only reason you’ve seen any blog posts…
