Hello Fellow Bloggers,
This marks the last blog for this class. This last blog takes us through the end of the semester into the Thanksgiving holiday. For many of us we are visiting our families and for others we continue to work to take care of everyone else. During the course of this class, we have all learned about HIV/AIDS. We have all been a part of something great and exemplary. We are all going to take from this class what we need and continue to move in a direction of growth.
I learned over this semester that I'm really not great at keeping to a schedule and taking online classes requires alot of discipline and time. I've learned that family is more important than losing your cool in order to meet that 11:55 p.m. deadline. Sometimes priorities must take a proper order and family is more important. In families dealing with HIV/AIDS its amazing how much family really matters. Sometimes Thanksgiving is only a holiday full of lots of food, The Macy's Day Parade and football but for HIV/AIDS patients and their families it might be the last time they can all be together. So enjoying family in a time of ill health will be crucial in their emotional well-being.
Now that we're talking turkey... it's great knowing a little bit about the diet especially when it relates to HIV/AIDS. Did you know that patients with HIV/AIDS need extra vitamins and supplements. This extra supplementation and vitamin intake will help them maintain good weight and keep their immunity up. Although there is no special diet, by adopting a healthy eating lifestyle consisting of extra water and an intake of good lean proteins and fats, will ensure they stay around a little longer. For so many of us who have lost someone special way too soon... The implementation of a healthy lifestyle will give us all a reason to look forward to the holiday season!
Happy Blogging and to all a very Happy Thanksgiving!
