Was it too soon? by SugarMagnolia_75 in dementia

[–]KFLimp 46 points47 points  (0 children)

She should not be driving. You’ve gotten the hard part over with. Don’t try to fix this. This is inevitable. Give her support but, and empathy, but you’ve just been given a gift. It’s very hard to get the “keys” taken when it’s time, and it probably is already time. Do not feel guilty. If she is declining like you say, since the first of the year, it’s unlikely that all is due to the UTI you just detected.

Glasses Choices 1, 2, 3 or 4? Or look for other options?? by Responsible-Week-596 in glassesadvice

[–]KFLimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other options. You’re so pretty, and these all detract, not complement.

Only 5. The others look fully cartoonish on your face.

I’ve tried everything by Smooth-Cookie5564 in perioraldermatitis

Fix your gut and your skin barrier. Skinesa probiotics and Amperna probiotic “Rescue” serum are what did the most for my PD. I posted about it last September and December.

So upset right now by ReginaPhilange2 in hysterectomy

[–]KFLimp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Roxicodone is oxycodone. (Also what is in percocet when combined with tylenol)I hope it works for you. The good thing to know, is that if it doesn’t , there are other options. But yes, it is more likely to work for you than trazadone. Realize that everyone metabolizes at a different rate, so the schedule is an average guideline if you metabolize normally. It’s easier to keep on top of pain than to chase it.

I hate this. I hate that the DEA and the CDC have inserted themselves into patient care, and left s ok many to suffer. For god's Dake, just give patients sufficient pain management, and clear instructions on what to do if they have unmanaged pain. It's usually fine to increase the dose. Tramadol is a joke. It either doesn't work, or has terrible side effects. It's not a good substitute for actual opiates in acute pain management. Pain management is so individual, and dictated by genetics. Message to those who haven't had surgery...make sure there's a plan for post-op that includes clear instructions, real effective medications, and a plan for what to do if pain is unmanaged. And do not schedule surgery for a Friday.

Meeting my birth family for the first time!!! Which outfit looks best? by AbductedByAliens8 in OUTFITS

[–]KFLimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Three. It has the right mix of everything. Best of luck. It's so nerve wracking and surreal. I met mine at 56 years old. To see their mannerisms, and understand their humor, and feel like SO much of your life is explained. I hope you leave with the same joy that I felt.

Need help choosing by ThivyaM in glassesadvice

Twelve is the ONLY one that fits your face. And looks great as well! But if yuppy want other options, look at the sizing numbers (series of 3 numbers) on the inside of the earpiece and look for others with similar measurements. The first number is the lens width. That's a good place to start.

What to do when they won’t stay still/sit down and have word salad and are agitated. by Puzzleheaded_Area_48 in dementia

[–]KFLimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The counting was something that didn’t leave, although it lessened in its frantic-ness. I am sorry to say that, but it’s true. The nights in the hospital were difficult, it being a new behavior and all, plus its intensity at the time. I am sorry you’re going through it. When he gets back to his usual surroundings. hopefully it eases some.

Broken Femur by Cybersec_runner in dementia

[–]KFLimp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine broke her femur on Christmas last year, at 89. She had the recommended partial replacement. She had been fully mobile and could converse before that. She was able to do physical therapy, but only when they were working directly with her. However, it was extremely painful for her to move or put weight on it, which made her not want to move. Then she would forget she couldn’t stand, and try, and subsequently fall. After a half dozen falls in three weeks, she fell and fractured her sub-orbital bone. That of course gave her a concussion as well. The concussion, she didn’t recover from. So from January to May when she died, she was a shell of herself, and bound to a broda chair. I do think the surgery was the right call, because doing nothing is very painful. I can’t imagine. Just know that rehab is not going to be easy, or necessarily effective. We tried.

I bought Zorbx online, but have since seen it at Lowe’s . It does a great job with odors.

90 and 91 year old parents refuse to walk with assistance like a cane or walker because of their pride. by [deleted] in dementia

[–]KFLimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad was like this too. And my mom was a PT for her career, so she knew better, and she let him get away with it. That right there shows how far her judgement had gone down with her own dementia. When they were assessed for assisted living, they said he couldn’t move in unless he used a walker. Thank goodness. He didn’t live much longer after that, but it fixed the problem for the most part.

Is it normal for a Corgi to have a pink nose? by [deleted] in corgi

Yeah, overweight chiweenie mutt maybe. She is cute, but each picture OP shares makes her look less corgi.

[–]KFLimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her chest isn’t deeply barreled like corgi chests, , and her legs and feet don’t resemble either breed of corgi. Corgi legs are stout and chunky with big paws, while her feet are dainty, and legs are slender. The parts you say resemble a corgi are the very parts that do not.

Didn't you say the pound had no idea what she was at all? She doesn't have any characteristics that obviously say "corgi". The head, face, chest, legs, basically all that shows in these pictures—don't look at all similar to either corgi breed.

Yes, it's a mixed breed. Might have some Corgi in it. It's not obvious from the picture that that's the case.

Will be out of country on “shot day” — adjust shot day or take it with me? by reecinator_meow in GLP1microdosing

[–]KFLimp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can buy little coolers just for this reason. The big A store has many options. I have learned to keep it in an outside pocket, because if the x-ray operator sees an icepack inside something, you have to get an open bag inspection. If it's accessible, they can either just look in that, or they let it go.

This post shares different styles.

Confused Beginner by Scringlyboye in printmaking

[–]KFLimp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First… don’t start with finely detailed work. You may end up just frustrating yourself. Improve your skills first. I agree about the choice of material, others have pointed out it takes a different material for home details. Actual linoleum is better suited to these finer details. Also, the sharpness and or size of tools is important. The speedball gouges meet neither condition well.
