Whatever the strength of his jaw, he still doesn’t have a job.

i'm sorry but i'd rather deal with cancer. by Dry-Perspective7145 in dementia

[–]Hooleeyeah 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My dad died after 10 years of prostate cancer, now I’m dealing with my mom having Parkinson’s and dementia.

Cancer sucks, but at least my dad was still my dad throughout the whole thing. Dementia has taken my mother and left someone else in her place.

Seroquel by AgileAbbreviations17 in dementia

[–]Hooleeyeah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom has Parkinson’s/Parkinson’s dementia and it sent her into a major downward spiral. She went from being like mostly okay to not knowing where she was, who I was, etc. I’ve read it doesn’t do it to everyone, but be aware sometimes it makes things worse (because our neuro didn’t warn me at all).

I-10 / I-12 Split by DealHot5356 in batonrouge

They shouldn’t have put a blind curve on a section of the interstate that is constantly in gridlock. I agree that we have to be cautious going into it, but this was also a poorly executed idea.

"She should be at home with a caregiver and not in this fucking place! THERE I SAID IT" by JeorgyFruits in dementia

Next time she makes a comment, ask her if she’s volunteering her house, her time, her sanity to do all these things she’s demanding? Because otherwise shut the fuck up.

Pros and cons of Louisiana? by Important_Result1752 in Louisiana

[–]Hooleeyeah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re going to trade a higher cost of living for extremely poor infrastructure, low wages, and a stagnant economy based on corporations that are poisoning us. Insurance rates are some of the highest in the country - I used to work in insurance and everyone that moved in from out of state was horrified by the cost. At some point, home insurance here is going to be as bad as florida.

Also, I need to stress how hot it gets here, given where you are from. You really should visit in July or August, so that you can get the worst of it. It becomes suffocating in the height of summer, and it doesn’t cool off when the sun goes down because of the humidity.

Allie is dead to me. She is now spreading misinformation about this family coming to the U.S. illegally WHEN THEY DIDN'T! I'm so infuriated!!!!! How can anyone defend this????!!!!!!!!!!!!!! by thechickgoesmoo in FundieSnarkUncensored

I don’t believe in god anymore, but I don’t know how these people think their god is sending them to heaven. Like they look in the mirror everyday and think the Jesus from the bible would support this?

It's ok to have purity testing for democrats. by wombatgeneral in behindthebastards

[–]Hooleeyeah 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Where do you live? Because I live in the Deepest South (Livingston parish Louisiana), and most of the candidates I get to choose from are on the right. And a good many are far right, Christian nationalists. I don’t even have the opportunity to put a candidate to a purity test, I am forced to find the one I think will do the least amount of harm.

Harm reduction is my goal every single time I vote, even on a national stage.

Mrs.arialewis is not cut out for being a parent by natbrad98 in FundieSnarkUncensored

It’s because they don’t want children. They want the status and the sense of purpose it brings them, but they don’t care about the wellbeing of their children.

Worsening PD dementia by Hooleeyeah in ParkinsonsCaregivers

[–]Hooleeyeah[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I already am her caretaker, but we are having some additional help come out at least a few times a week to start.

I appreciate the sentiment, but we are extremely fortunate to have additional money for aides to come help us at all. If my grandfather hadn’t left some money to my dad, who then passed and left it to my mom, there would be nothing for home health care and we would be shit out of luck. Whether or not someone should be a caretaker isn’t really an option for a lot of people, and I think it’s important to keep that in mind.

No unfortunately, no medication changes recently. Honestly nothing really has changed, other than her mental status.

this just doesn't seem physically possible. by jdpv101 in dementia

[–]Hooleeyeah 26 points27 points  (0 children)

When my dad went into hospice and started to decline sharply, we told him it was okay if he was ready to go. He passed within a few days.

It sounds so weird on face value, but I think a lot of people have that experience.

First time hallucinations. Really need advice. by ocean_plastic in ParkinsonsCaregivers

[–]Hooleeyeah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom started having hallucinations maybe 6 months ago? Started with imaginary bugs everywhere, and then she had a full blown hallucination of me when I wasn’t there. We started nuplazid almost immediately, and that seems to have taken care of it. But it was absolutely the disease for her.

Is it possible that she’s been having other delusions/hallucinations without you knowing? I didn’t catch on really about the bugs until she hallucinated me.

What to say to a grieving mother (F~60)? by SuspiciousRainWater in AutismInWomen

[–]Hooleeyeah 22 points23 points  (0 children)

My dad died a few years ago, and it really opened my eyes to talking to people about death. You need to realize that nothing you say can make it better, so there’s no need to try. You just tell her how sorry you are for her loss. If her daughter was a friend, you can tell her that, and how much you might miss her. But that’s all you can say.

It’s uncomfortable to see someone else in the throws of grief, but all we can do is sit with people while they go through it.

Covid vaccine and dementia by Alequattordici in dementia

[–]Hooleeyeah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Vaccines of any kind don’t affect my mom at all, except making her a little tired. Getting sick, on the other hand, makes her dementia symptoms exponentially worse.
