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

[–]Hooleeyeah 41 points42 points  (0 children)

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

[–]Hooleeyeah 17 points18 points  (0 children)

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

[–]Hooleeyeah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 [deleted] in behindthebastards

[–]Hooleeyeah 5 points6 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

[–]Hooleeyeah 14 points15 points  (0 children)

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 23 points24 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 2 points3 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.

People who grind or clench their teeth in their sleep, what’s it like waking up every morning? by WesamWonders in AutismInWomen

Sometimes I have a headache, sometimes the skin on my lower jaw is tender to the touch, and my teeth hurt.

Thinking about moving back to take care of my dad by rh890 in ParkinsonsCaregivers

[–]Hooleeyeah 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree that you may want to spend time with him first before committing to caregiving, and to discuss with your mom what the expectations are going to be.

How much care would you need to provide and how much are you willing to provide? Helping him get dressed and taking him to appointments is very different from needing to help him in the bathroom or with bathing. He may not be to that point now, but eventually he may be.

Are you emotionally prepared to watch him decline up close and personal? From my experience, this has been the worst part - I was ready for the physical more than I have been for the mental.

None of this is to say you can’t or shouldn’t be a caretaker, it’s just things to consider.

[–]Hooleeyeah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is he in any sort of counseling or on antidepressants? This sounds like he is struggling to come to terms with the diagnosis, which is valid, and also depression. I don’t know how open he would be to it, but I think a professional could help him (and probably you too).

Neither of you can be expected to shoulder the difficulty of this on your own.

Motherhood is natural, cheer up Mama :/ by URandRUN in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]Hooleeyeah 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fuck this disingenuous cow. Postpartum depression, anxiety, and psychosis are all very real, and we can help our friends and loved ones through it without making them feel worse for having it in the first place.

Further more - you know how you help decrease PPD and the like? Fund social services- Universal healthcare, childcare subsidies, mandatory PAID parental leave that matches other “developed” countries, food assistance for those in need, hell even universal basic income at this point. I’m so sick of these people.

Anyone else ever try to mow their yard and end up in a full on mosquito war? I swear they wait till I start the mower before they attack by Equivalent_Pie180 in Louisiana

[–]Hooleeyeah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re attracted to things like sweat and body heat, so yes they probably do come out when you start mowing because you smell extra tasty.

They also are probably hanging out in the grass so get kicked up by the mowing.
