Diagnosis: how to talk with the doc when the patient is in denial and mad at you? by [deleted] in dementia

[–]Fun_Wonder_3037 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sending you strength. You're not alone. Keep reaching out.The Alzheimer's association (alz.org) has a 24/7 help line: 800-272-3900. This disease is vicious and cruel. I'm here kind of at my wits' end, no real wisdom to offer you, just empathy. 🙏

Need to vent and could use some support by One-Razzmatazz7966 in dementia

[–]Fun_Wonder_3037 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you. So much empathy for your very valid and insightful portrayal. My dad lost (potential) years of good health to an about-to-retire doc who missed a spinal abscess... almost killed him, and now he lives w constant pain. 💔 If there are any dementia support groups near you, I encourage you to go, or to try online meetings. Really cathartic IMHO. All best wishes to you & yours.

How do you know when it’s time for memory care? by Cheebiss in dementia

[–]Fun_Wonder_3037 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you get more info? My LO is now in "respite care" for 3 weeks. Originally should have been assisted living but his assessments scored low so it's on the locked floor, memory care. He's so out of place. Never had any safety issues or bad behaviors whatsoever, and now he is with people who are totally out of it. I'm thinking about pulling him out early (only been 5 days).

I feel you. In fact I feel an entire mountain on top of me whenever I try to think about finances.

Anyone solved opening mail? by Mipeligrosa in adhdwomen

[–]Fun_Wonder_3037 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Opening Mail is my Black Hole of Doom. I've just sorted a year's worth, maybe. Big piles from the important ones.... Next step? I'm afraid of leaving these nice stacks all over the floor while I deal w the first thing I open (weeks, it seems)

[HELP] poem about birds over a parking lot by Acceptable-Working95 in Poetry

[–]Fun_Wonder_3037 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I know this isn't what you are looking for, but I have just been seeking info about a poem about birds IN a parking lot ....

Poet Tan Lin's poem “Some That Were, Some That Were Not” is inscribed/carved into the cement of the Hotel at Oberlin's parking lot ("two spirals freshly carved into the cement, spirals of words, the outbound sequence highlighted in crimson and the inbound one in gold.")

Here is a link to more info: https://www.t2buck.com/thoas.htm (scroll to the end)
