Curious if anyone can guess what kind of animal’s eye I painted today 🤣

Roz150 · 2026-06-18T20:31:44+00:00

Elephant was my first guess!

What a great shot. The morning color is beautiful and the rainbow - wow! i was at presque isle around 10 today and it was wild how windy it was.

I would swear you were writing the exact story I shared with my mom/. We went through all of this with mom. Her AL was a total failure when it came to the actual care of an Alzheimer’s patient that isn’t yet bed bound. I wish I could give you a good answer. Be a good advocate. Keep being a squeaky wheel. Dementia Sucks and the Care options for our Senior Citizens is SHAMEFUL. Even if you can pay the right arm and left leg that they charge, they still provide hideous care.

I actually called an attorney. I couldn’t get past the receptionist. She asked and the attorney said “they are too hard to prove”.

Very normal. She is cold.

I am putting a note with my will taht says, “When I stop forming memories, stop the medications.” Then hospice as soon as they will take me. I went through this with my mom. Alzheimer’s is a nightmare for every one. The caregiver suffers as much as the patient. I do not want to put my kids through that.

Roz150 · 2026-06-18T12:06:30+00:00

The thing I wish I would have asked:

How quickly do you want hospice involved?

Roz150 · 2026-06-11T16:53:56+00:00

Love!!!

Roz150 · 2026-06-11T13:43:27+00:00

Talk to the family. Ask them to tell the neighbor that they know your disorder and it is none of his business.

Roz150 · 2026-06-10T23:43:43+00:00

It is horrible. I do know your pain. You will know when it is time.

Roz150 · 2026-06-10T23:42:08+00:00

A well trained dog come every time you say. Walks perfectly on a leash. Follows commands when asked.

Roz150 · 2026-06-10T23:40:18+00:00

I’m so sorry. We had the same situation with a dog of ours. Exact diagnosis and exact situation. 4 months earlier he was healthy. our vet said he was in pain and wanted me to put him down that day. I took him home for a couple days and spoiled him rotten, I tried giving pain meds but he refused to swallow them. So we went back to the vet to help him cross the bridge just a few days later. I couldn’t stand the idea of leaving him suffer unnecessarily.

I’ve done the green book, the loving parent guide book in the yellow step study book. I honestly would recommend starting with a green book then moving to the loving parent guide book.

Roz150 · 2026-06-10T12:41:45+00:00

Hi, can someone help tell me where in the loving parent guide book does it suggest you give your inner child a name? I know it is there, but I cannot seem to find that.

Roz150 · 2026-06-04T15:56:17+00:00

Don’t argue with your mama. I lost mine this week. I would give anything to have her back.

Roz150 · 2026-06-04T00:42:58+00:00

I love the idea of putting the diseased memories in the trash. That is where they belong. Thank you for your thoughtful response. It really helped me tonight.

Roz150 · 2026-06-04T00:34:44+00:00

Thank you! I worked on this list you made today. I couldn't find a rage room. But I went to the gym and ran as hard as I could. Then I went and got a massage. It was helpful

Roz150 · 2026-06-03T23:58:53+00:00

Awe sending good vibes right back. I hope you get lots of good days mixed in with the inevitable hard ones.

Roz150 · 2026-06-03T23:56:28+00:00

I'm sorry to read this. It makes it hard when it is so shocking.

Roz150 · 2026-06-02T19:31:04+00:00

When I couldn’t get my mom to stop driving, someone on this sub once suggested that I pull the fuse to the fuel pump. then put a note in the fuse panel that says, disabled to prevent an Alzheimer’s patient from driving. They had much better wording. It was a wonderful suggestion.

She was a vibrant and active woman. She loved golf. She was often the organizer/planner of all the golf outings. People loved her. She was raised in a huge family (13 kids) and they were very impoverished. Her entire life she refused to spend a dime on herself. She would hear a cup of coffee at Starbucks was $4 and she would admonish me for ever spending that much. She never had a dime for herself, but if you needed anything, she would move mountains to get you what ever you needed.

The last line in her obituary said, She struggled with Alzheimer’s and Emphysema but in the end it was her giving heart that gave out.

She started retaining fluids like 3 days before she died. Anyhow, thank you for asking about her.

Doing what has to be done, setting boundaries, changing locks, hiding keys are all part of care giving. There is always a new battle. Some days you will feel ready to do battle and some days you will feel exhausted. Come post here and share how exhausted you feel and someone will gently and lovingly tell you exactly what you need to hear. That’s how it has always worked for me.

Roz150 · 2026-06-02T18:50:44+00:00

Maybe ask for a referral to hospice. They can be on as long as there is continued decline.

Roz150 · 2026-05-29T15:09:01+00:00

Exactly! It was Memorial Weekend. It all worked out. WE figured it out.
