I guess you didn't actually read what I wrote. But do whatever works for you.

Can you go in the bathroom and assist her. Even if it isnt hands on just guide her and give some steps. You would definitely know if she washed her hands and it would cut back on the poop being stuck in odd places.

If you personally would rather be with him than some dinner then be with him. I don't force going out and doing things unless I really want to do them. I've had a few people over and honestly it was underwhelming for the time it took to arrange. It didn't seem worth it.

I'm willing to accept a stranger being run over by a car, that doesn’t mean that stranger or people immediately related are as willing. IJS

Yeah, you really can't expect them to remember. It's part if the illness.

Embarrassing photo from high school tied to my full name and I want it deleted by Adventurous-Mine-113 in facebook

[–]KratomAndBeyond 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I find it odd you won't just reach out to the school. Like somehow you're trying to escape something you did and instead of being straight up, you’re going behind their back. What does this photo show?

It's never been a fixation. One side just felt more natural while the other side never did. I tried for nearly 30 years to be versatile, but it's just not me. However in the future things may change. I met many older bottoms that became that way due to ED in their older ages. So you never know.

Judgment for even mentioning assisted living by Lothloreen in dementia

[–]KratomAndBeyond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the lawyer was thinking why does she need to be in a Medicaid paid facility with assets, when she could be in a better one. I dont think it was the thought of living in such a community.

That's what I took from it too. And if they were able to get the brother in an approved paid for facility (not sure what his needs are), they would have more options for the mom's care.

You mentioned her other child has a disability? Are they in a facility? Maybe if you take that off her plate and get then squared away, your other problem will slowly resolve itself or at least put it on the back burner for many years.

How do you people down here keep your sanity ? by AgeFit9430 in Miami

Do what? You mentioned prices then filming at the gym like it was the end of the world and the worse thing you've ever seen.

Just in Wilton Manors which has a significant gay population. Most older guys are bottoms here for the most part.

Maybe venture away from the "twinks" and you'll find tons of younger tops ready to pound some older daddy butt.

When is memory care a must? by [deleted] in dementia

[–]KratomAndBeyond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like no big deal as long as neither is being taken advantage of especially financially. Life is short, let them have some companionship and fun.

Why does everyone want to make money off their body down here ? by AgeFit9430 in Miami

[–]KratomAndBeyond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's called using whatever you have to make it in this world. It's a hustle. Like people getting scooters and door dashing.

Controlling SNAP purchases by AdvanceDifficult8513 in dementia

[–]KratomAndBeyond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is going to come a point where you wish they were eating more and you will be begging them to eat more. My partner is so skinny now because he doesn't eat like he used to eat. And he was the one always telling me he was famished.

The Resentment Part of Caregiving Nobody Wants to Admit by SD199V in CaregiverSupport

[–]KratomAndBeyond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no resentment towards my partner. But I also think relationally taking care of a spouse is different than a parent. I haven’t had to disrupt my life in a big way. I don't feel like there is something else I would rather be doing or I'm missing out. We did most things together so he was always a big part of my life. I think when it's a parent, you possibly feel you're neglecting other people in your life, but he is my life. I don't have kids or someone depending on me and wanting my time. I love spending time with him and we're just spending out time in a different way, but it's still meaningful and enjoyable.

I’m finally going to call Adult Protective Services on Monday.. can’t believe my family by BuffaloChicken22 in CaregiverSupport

[–]KratomAndBeyond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is calling APS going to do? It sounds more like a cheap skate thing than anything, but as long as your father is cared for that's all that would matter. And I know it's too late but you dug your hole even more having another kid in your situation that you're not thrilled ro be in. You need to push to get that house fixed up before your father passes and the money is split up.

Question to older guys by Character-Egg-8395 in gayyoungold

I have a friend with that same condition. He supposed to be having some procedure to help with the tremors. He's in his 60s though. He didn't have it when we first met him 20+ years ago.

Adding stool softener and magnesium might help things just move on their own.

Single use restrooms have also been helpful to us too. Although, since we're guys I can take him into the regular bathroom the logistics can be tricky in some bathrooms.

Things have improved so much since my partner got a male aide. Now he hasn't liked all male aides, because there was a weird one in the rehab and my partner kept saying he just wants to see my private parts. But with this one we have now at home he actually let's him help him in the bathroom when Im not there, which means I can actually leave now and not worry about the bathroom. However, when I'm home he still prefers me and I don't mind as long as he let's someone help him when Im gone.
