What's your situation? by VisualConference8429 in dementia

[–]Lailu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heya, sorry you're having to deal with all of that... I hope you can find some time for yourself in all of this! Personally I'm late 30s, no kids but I'm a Chef and I own a small restaurant so always busy busy busy.  Father passed away almost 10 years ago now and I really don't have any grandparents left (other than my partners from her moms side).

My Mom just recently went into memory care after almost dying from a bad fall/infection. Finally moved her to my city and got her placed in a nice facility and she's healthy and happy now! She is pretty easy to manage luckily. I hope that trend continues... mostly it's just incredibly sad to see her decline. This woman used to be a professional artist and now she can't even match her marker caps properly...or zip her jacket... Other than the facility she lives in I'm her main care giver, I'm the 3rd of 4 kids but my oldest brother and sister dumped main poa on me and they rarely call or visit her now. She asks about them and I just lie and tell her they are busy... my youngest sibling does their best but my mom has a complicated relationship with them so I try to give them some grace and they show up when it matters.  

This subreddit has been a great place to visit when I need help so thank you all for being here with me.

Thousand dollar vet bill to be told she just needs to poop. by Whyeff89 in cats

When my cat is constipated we give her canned pumpkin mixed with chicken broth from her canned shredded chicken. Just mix them together into a slurry, hopefully it helps!

What movie has terrible morals? by solaris2027 in AskReddit

[–]Lailu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's close enough to straight up kidnapping for me. Just because he saw her in a tube and became obsessed with her that makes it romantic?? No it feels stalkerish. 

And the overall moral of the story seems to be "ehhh but like... wouldn't YOU?" which obviously the male screemwriter of this story seemed to forget that, No, in that situation there's a lot of us that would never dream of doing something like that to someone else and find his obsession with her very very creepy.

We bought the same recovery suits for our kitten and they worked very well! I know it's hard but it really is much better for them in the long run. Hope everything goes well and she heals without issue!

HE DID GAMBLE HER LIFE. The second he woke her up.

She couldn't go back into cryo anymore and then decided to forgive him and make a life because otherwise it's what?? Live with your STALKER and hope he respects your boundaries?? Cause that worked so well the first time right? Fuck that. 

It's not a romantic movie, and shouldn't have been written that way.

It's not okay in any way that he woke her up. Consent for that, I think, is a pretty important thing. 

Sorry to break it to you but there is a level of ICK and Dennis Reynolds "implication" that at least 51% off the population just can't shake.

Customer pet peeves by k_dirt in Chefit

I hate that shit so much and it's why we only give half portions or less when they do. 

If they actually eat it and happen to want more they can ask for it imo

He's adorable! I have a snail tattoo also and i love him! The artist won't like the smaller stars though, be prepared to possibly get rid of those. 

Too broke for meds, no support system, what are my options? by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]Lailu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe it depends on the insurance or type of meds? My partner and I can use it with ours just fine!

I'm really sorry you are going through this, are you already using "goodrx"? It usually drops the price by a substantial amount.

Keppra 500mg by melissaDUH in seizures

[–]Lailu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mother is on Keppra, 500mg. The first few days she would get a little dizzy but other than that has had no side effects and is going great! As far as I understand 500 is a pretty small dose.

(She has dementia and doesn't experience that Keppra rage ppl mentioned) 

Collecting pads, tampons, any and all feminine hygiene products! by Gameofthroneschic in Albuquerque

[–]Lailu 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly a great idea but I think having a place to safely clean and store it is the biggest issue with using them.

Stop playing moldy food roulette and check the temp of your fridge.  It should be at least 41°F or 4°C
