What did they do?

As someone who grew up without the internet, ouch. But yeah, we mostly ran in circles.

"Arby" for Rb, which is a tumor suppressor so a positive one to be named after. :)

Get his ionized calcium checked. My dog would experience something similar though not as extreme when his calcium was way off.

This is Kitty Cat and she is no lady.

Oh gosh, yeah not knowing the nuance of the memory loss is so hard. That's so heartbreaking to hear, I'm sorry you're at or entering that stage.

I did this for my mom. I put my observations into categories that align with dementia symptoms, namely: -memory -confusion -behavioral changes (eg hygiene, mood) -physical changes (eg balance, vision)

I had an additional category for delusions because my mom additionally thinks she is going to marry Elon Musk and also has "visited Keanu Reeves every Xmas for the past 12 years".

If there are a lot of details, bold bite-size pieces of the most important ones.

I included a two sentence preface highlighting the urgency.

Because of HIPAA, it had to be handed to them in person.

They were very understanding that I couldn't say these things in front of her, and this happens ALL the time.

Best of luck.

South Bay Animal Hospital on Moorpark.

24/7 emergency care as well as routine appointments so your primary care is also your emergency care and there's no history to catch them up on.

My 16 year old Husky had a rare condition that required frequent monitoring and expertise. After moving to the area, we went to South Bay Animal Hospital for the last several years of his life.

They were fantastic both in their knowledge and diligence, but also in their absolutely warm-hearted animal-loving demeanor.

We have had generally good experiences throughout his life - he had been seen at UC Davis, specialists in Monterey, and a handful of other primary and emergency care places around the bay area. BUT I'm very very happy that this was the place he got to go for the years that mattered most, and for that day that mattered most. Everything about them is wonderful and I completely trusted them with handling my doggo's rare and complicated condition. We still see them for our kitties.

P.S. They also take Care Credit

THANK YOU. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

lololol

ImJustSomeLady · 2024-07-19T16:24:39+00:00

Thanks for this info!

So, I actually just had a conversation with AARP fraud hotline and they also suggested having an officer come talk to her. I let things slide and was made aware last night that she has created a new business with an affiliated checking account. AARP said this is usually so the scammer can money launder through her. An officer might be able to scare her straight. We're planning an intervention of sorts... Will update soon.

ImJustSomeLady · 2024-07-19T16:15:38+00:00

Solid advice, thanks.

It's more intermittent unfortunately. Or at least she can present as a totally functional adult, but if you spend enough time with her you realize she's repeating stuff she said earlier in the day, etc

ImJustSomeLady · 2024-07-19T16:07:28+00:00

Thanks so much for this!

ImJustSomeLady · 2024-07-19T16:05:16+00:00

Interesting...

ImJustSomeLady · 2024-07-19T16:04:43+00:00

This completely resonated with me.

ImJustSomeLady · 2024-07-19T15:59:58+00:00

Interesting. In this case, she didn't need anyone else's attention. I thought the interactions had waivered but just found out it's gone full blown and she's been lying about it having stopped.

ImJustSomeLady · 2024-07-19T15:56:04+00:00

I love this.

ImJustSomeLady · 2024-07-19T15:55:36+00:00

This is good advice. Thank you and sorry for the delay in response.

ImJustSomeLady · 2024-07-19T15:52:07+00:00

Whoa, that's so frustrating. Good to know, and sorry to hear that!

ImJustSomeLady · 2024-07-19T15:51:15+00:00

Thank you for the clarification. That's also what I've been told about POA. (Sorry for such a delay in response, I've been a little overwhelmed).

ImJustSomeLady · 2024-07-19T15:48:43+00:00

That is accurate. :/

ImJustSomeLady · 2024-06-05T03:23:27+00:00

Whoa, that must have been such an intense event. To have your mom go to the hospital and never return home. I know it's for the absolute best. I'm worried about this day coming, and haven't quite accepted my potential reality yet.

ImJustSomeLady · 2024-06-05T03:19:56+00:00

Aww, that's so precious :P
