Hospice
This week, I made the difficult decision to enroll my father in hospice care. He is suffering from primary progressive aphasia and is in the very late stages of the disease. For the past two months, he has been struggling with hallucinations and paranoia, making him miserable. He believes the staff around him are carrying weapons and have beaten him, which has increased his agitation and caused him to move around unpredictably. Standing and walking contributed to multiple injuries and trips to the emergency department. A few weeks ago, despite round-the-clock care and observation, he fell, hit his head, and suffered a brain bleed. He has been in the hospital since. In the hospital, his condition has deteriorated more rapidly. His speech is slurred and he is even more agitated, including assaulting staff and removing monitors. They have been forced to intermittently restrain and sedate him.

I quit my job!
This week, I made the difficult decision to give my notice at Nerdy. After 2.2 years, I realized that my leadership style no longer aligns with the company’s current needs. While I am confident leaving is the right choice, it hasn’t been an easy week.
