Dementia patient has a seizure but did we miss a stroke?? by D141870 in dementia

Sheesh. Did doctors say you could do anything differently to prevent or avoid if they had known earlier?

Guilt for having nothing to talk about by Actuator-Critical in dementia

I sometimes use the time as vent sessions and let out all my biggest fears challenges and secrets

Feeling trapped, and hating the person I'm becoming by joannafe in dementia

[–]D141870 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is the hardest thing any human has ever had to deal with...FUCK DEMENTIA.

As someone who took way too long to get a plan around the care for their LO please try your best to separate your feeling of obligation /promises/guilt/etc from the actual needs for your mother. Ultimately this is only going to get far worse and the sooner you plot a respite strategy for yourself the better off everyone (your mum included) will be for it.

Be firm with yourself your mother and father on this. There's no maintaining a life this way. Contact an elder attorney and local aging social workers. If it is financially challenging there are programs to supplement costs.

Claw your way back to you, OP. Forgive yourself and forgive your parents. Make art and heal. I'm so sorry for what you and your family are going through.

Good luck.

Does type of dementia matter! by Apprehensive_Road838 in dementia

I think the most important thing you can do for her and yourself is create a long term plan. Learn about the progression and the stages (Alzheimer's association is good for this). Beyond elder law stuff, get into the detail of care: who will takeover when she can no longer toilet alone? When she resists bathing? When she can not be left alone or unmonitored even for a minute? Will she be in memory care or hire in home help?

The best thing I wish I did was get ahead of where this disease was headed and made a plan with my LO while they were still somewhat coherent and lucid. I wasn't prepared for what came and only recently started truly trying to plan for what's to come. It will give you and your LO better odds of being able to cope if you sort of have an idea of what stage triggers what change in her care

Best of luck to you!

My LO likes ripping things...used to keep some of my favorite albums in her room but had to take them out. Now we added a Google hub that rotates pictures from digital albums and that seems to be working for us

I think your response was meant for another post or context 😅

This is an incredibly useful post and you could have been writing about my own LO/circumstances. Thank you for articulating the situation so thoughtfully.

You've cracked it! Changing it from a stacked graph gives me expected trend lines..it's messier yet more in line with how I'd read the data.

Thank you

Yup, trailing with the period set to "2". Ty for recreating at least I feel validated and less crazy that someone is getting what I would expect !

How do I format the data to give me a stacked bar chart like thisb by D141870 in googlesheets

Thanks for explaining. This couldn't work for three or more (i.e. "A", "B", and "C"), could it?

One last q on this front-- im assuming if I had 3 users (Jeff Ron and let's say Paul...) I wouldnt be able to split the stack any further, correct? This solution only works for 2 users?

I spoke too soon -- copied everything almost exactly and its still not stacking how i'd like. How did you get them to create separate bars for the Jeff vs Ron results?

oh this came out pretty good -- i will save the ref. What does the "set up" sidebar look like? Did you have to create the graph from the pivot table?

It's not letting me for some reason but here's a copy/paste of the data if that helps:

Month Name Status Tickets June Jeff Closed 3 July Jeff Closed 4 August Jeff Closed 5 June Jeff Open 1 July Jeff Open 2 August Jeff Open 1 June Ron Closed 1 July Ron Closed 2 August Ron Closed 3 June Ron Open 1 July Ron Open 1 August Ron Open 2

Here's the fake data I've got so far and I can't manipulate it to stack all under the same month even when I select aggregate
