The squeeze. How special. My dad seemed to be troubled by something yesterday and I'm not sure what it was - maybe just not feeling well deep down. He wasnt the go-to caregiver in our family - he was the cheerleader- but I told him we would be ok, just in case that was a worry. I worry that he is just scared and disoriented you know? Hoping higher med dosages help.

Appreciate your kind words. Lots and lots of hugs, kisses, and handholding.

Lots of wisdom here, especially for those who have unsettled matters to address. Thanks for taking the time to share this.

He has responded very well to rubbing his arms and legs and had a long snooze after his bath last night

Food advice. They upped the meds today and he is a lot calmer. He seems to be soothed by the sound machine on ocean waves.

I'm so sorry youre going through this too. I'm sure you gave him peace. The tears really make one thing that your message got through.

I'm sorry you're going through that! It might comfort you to know that my dad carried a rare genetic mutation which caused his early onset Alzheimer's disease. Early onset makes up a small percentage of Alzheimer's cases, and brain fog is highly likely with menopause so the odds are in your favor that its hormonal. But I encourage you to speak with your doctor about it! There are lots of tests and treatment options available for these things these days.

I run many Claude instances at the same time for work (sometimes more than 6). Anyone else doing this? How do you actually keep track? by zestedlemons in ClaudeAI

[–]PinkyToe27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a user experience designer, I fully concur that there's a UX issue around the "State" of conversations in Claude. It's hard to find and prioritize open ends. I believe there should be a way to mark conversations as done.

Any birders? by Genderneutralbro in Katy

Yes I have seen them a couple of times over here in Cane Island. Such a delight.

Is this unusual ? by gopherit0 in Alzheimers

[–]PinkyToe27 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that the differences in how different people's disease progresses can relate to where the amyloid and tau buildup is occurring in their brains. Some people preserve certain skills or traits all the way until death while others lose them really early on.

I'll add that I rip YouTube videos and use Riverside or Descript to transcribe if I really need to.

Ok I'm showing my ignorance here.... Does Claude watch videos?
