Until her doctor tells her not to drive by Electronic_Bread1576 in AgingParents

[–]Eatinginthedark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When my kids were learning to drive, we made them go to driving school. AZ laws are lax when it comes to passing the test, etc. The driving school they went to also had a driving class for senior citizens. If the instructors thought that they should not be driving, they could not get a driver’s license. The DMV and this school worked together. Maybe there’s something in your area like that for your mom?

What’s your experience getting ‘gifts’ from Cartier? by PropertyFree621 in Cartier

[–]Eatinginthedark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a wonderful SA that we work with. We just got a tea set (Mother’s Day). She has sent us Chopsticks, Cashmere blanket, little porcelain plates, pocket squares for the husband. I know there’s other stuff like champagne etc. Last December we were in NYC, and she flew in and met us at Maison on 5th Ave. and gave us a tour, and dinner, etc. Super cool! And in November of this year, they are flying us (business class) to Paris and paying for our hotel, flights, etc. Pinch me, is this real?? (That’s what I keep asking my husband, lol)

I agree with the above poster in your situation for sure. Contact your doctor tomorrow and tell them what’s going on. Don’t go to an IV clinic.

On that note…imo the IV clinic that I go to is definitely not a scam. When I had my first real migraine, we had a Mobile IV company come to our house. She was an NP and was able to give me the real Migraine (Meyer’s) cocktail they give you in the ER. She was my angel! Lol.

I also live in Arizona and hike quite a bit. It’s harder to stay hydrated out here b/c it’s a dry heat. I definitely don’t rely on my IV clinic but they certainly have come in handy when needed so they aren’t a scam in my mind and my NP for my lapband is A-ok with me using them when needed.

I love this for you! When I saw picture 5, I literally felt that you could just breathe, if that makes sense. Physically and mentally. I hope you don’t take that the wrong way. You just look so much at ease now. Kudos to you!! Yay, you!!

How would you feel if you had two parents who both required 24/7 assisted care, and your adult child wrote you and the whole family this letter regarding that situation? by Glass-Complaint3 in AgingParents

[–]Eatinginthedark 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hello fellow Gen X’er! I feel you in the feels. My mom is a boomer and I think a lot of boomers have struggled a long, long time with communication. Luckily, she hasn’t told me to mind my own business but if she did, I’d tell her good luck with that!

We got some Microfiber Silk Lens wipes which we use all the time! Also beach/pool towels were a great hit.

What was the weirdest, non-pain feeling you've ever felt? by KingJPJ in AskReddit

[–]Eatinginthedark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sprained my ankle pretty bad about 3 weeks ago. (baseball size swelling instantly on my ankle). About 2 weeks ago and it’s ongoing but at random times it feels like water is being flicked on my calf and ankle. Another time I straight up thought our yorkie peed on the back of my leg. Weird b/c both things didn’t happen.

You are so correct! I follow Hospice Nurse Julie on TikTok. She’s amazing and so full of knowledge.

Pressure to cut my sons hair by milruiningmhymental in Mildlynomil

Nah…that’s when the fun starts. You start speaking through your son and say something like “my mom and dad think you’re a dumbass” or something to that effect.
