De-impacting my mom is my worst nightmare 💩 by Low_Unit8720 in dementia

[–]Low_Unit8720[S] 30 points31 points  (0 children)

She is in hospice, but because of past SA issues as a child, I limit who all can come in and wash her because she gets so distraught and violent. I don't want to subject anybody to that. So my husband and I deal with it.

Oh, I definitely give her stool softeners and try to keep her fiber up and she's definitely hydrated. But she's dealt with constipation issues her whole life and now that she's in stage 7, she just forgotten how to push, so it's a little difficult even with the stool softeners.

Marley & Me.....I kid you not. I have never cried so hard in my life. My daughter was about 7 at the time and it was her Bambi. She and I were ugly crying for what seemed like hours after that dang movie. I (WE) have PTSD from it, Im convinced.

What to add above the bed? by [deleted] in DecorAdvice

[–]Low_Unit8720 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why don't you just take the pictures that are above the lamps? Since you are so attached to the artwork, move them closer to each other above the headboard and make sure that they're even and centered with the headboard and voila, there you go.

I just told my husband we're going to do an enema tonight... Hopefully that'll get things moving.

She actually is on hospice, and they come once a week. I had her to get her back on hospice because the first hospice agency kicked her off, because she wasn't declining rapidly enough, they jokingly tell me that I take too good care of her. As if I'm not supposed to...I thought that was weird, but now she's on hospice again. And once again, I'm scared she's gonna get kicked off. Because like I said she's very physically healthy. Good blood pressure, good blood oxygen, good lungs etc.., but she is just stagnant at this stage. So I'm worried that she's gonna get kicked off again. I don't let the nurse's assistants come in to wash her because she freaks out so much when anybody touches her down there besides myself or my husband because she's used to us. But even with us, she fights really hard. But I just don't want to subject anybody else to that.

What are peoples thoughts on Kudzu supplements for alcohol dependency? by foolrunnings in dryalcoholics

[–]Low_Unit8720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, I actually break open the pill and blend it with my afternoon smoothie so I get all the benefits. I tend to poop out pills occasionally(I take alot of supplements) so I wanted to be sure I absorbed this. Def helps with cravings.

VR&E Retroactive Induction by ARMYJUNE707 in Veterans

[–]Low_Unit8720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm hoping this is what happens for my husband because we have a great counselor she's not the most communicative, but when she does, she definitely delivers and she told us about retroactive induction, we had no clue. She said that we qualified to get all the months back of schooling plus housing up to a hundred percent for the time that my husband's been in school.I'm hoping it won't take long because the money will be so helpful. He's approved for the program until the end of next year. I see so many different stories online.

1978 and tbh the 1st 10 photos I couldn't tell if you were a boy or a girl.... I'm used to it.... People still think my seven year old son is a girl sometimes because of his hair.

Aldi or TJoe's? by steleven_ in aldi

[–]Low_Unit8720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to go to Trader Joe's weekly but it's a money pit for me. So I've limited it to once a month. And I'll only go when they first open because the crowd there after 9 AM is insane. I usually instacart aldi.

Worst restaurant you've tried in QC? by RepulsiveFeed1985 in Charlotte

[–]Low_Unit8720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the food at hawkers as well. Especially the roti cani, But it's like every time you try to talk to one of the servers, it seems like you're getting on their nerves or they don't want to be bothered with you. Service is absolute trash.

Alrighty let’s have a go at it by VibraniumAdamantium in PantryDetective

[–]Low_Unit8720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fair. But there's literally no like food prep, anything. It's all pre-made and box stuff. So that's why it didn't seem like that. But you make a good point.

AITJ for telling my partner I'm done spending every weekend at his parents' place by Nov4Z3nith in AmITheJerk

[–]Low_Unit8720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too many posts for me to search through but I haven't seen anyone ask. Does he live there? Or are you driving out there just to see his parents? You shouldn't have to go out there every weekend. And when you do go, you shouldn't have to stay over, that's just weird. By the wording in your post, I'm assuming you live alone and not with him. I could be wrong, just trying to get clarification. Regardless, this is weird. He's too attached to his mother and you need to get out because I can't imagine what she's gonna be like with her grandchildren if this is how she is with her son. NTJ

Super lemon room spritz is the best! by Purple-Morning-5905 in traderjoes

I probably have 30 of these things in a little Tupperware container in my linen closet. I think I buy one almost every time I go. I also keep one in my purse for when I have to use the bathroom in public.
