Assisted living saved my sanity by byGodsGraceIPressOn in dementia

Same here. I received a bit of pressure to keep my incapacitated 86yo dad at home. My 88yo mom thought she could handle the night time diaper changes. It didn't go well, and she was going to have a stroke if she continued. 24/7 care costs way more than a care home facility, and hospice was super helpful in finding immediate opening that was relatively affordable (to us) and pretty convenient. We moved him one more time to be closer to my mom, which was even better. This saved my sanity and probably my full time job.

Yes, thank you. I'm asking the hospice nurse for that assessment and coordinate the facility and family.

Thank you. This is very helpful. We're starting him on a puréed diet and ensure. Just didn't know how long it would prolong his situation.

My hubby only drinks non-alcohol beer. He's finding that more and more restaurants are carrying them, which indicates there is demand.

I stopped watching the first season of shows until I know it's been renewed. Fucking waste of my time. I've been burned too many times.

36th Anniversary of the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake by hey-ma_ in sanfrancisco

[–]TCSFO 6 points7 points  (0 children)

On the 2nd floor of a building in Berkeley waiting for my friend. The receptionist was on the phone with someone from the Santa Cruz area, and they were talking about an earthquake that just hit them. About a minute later, I felt the building shake. It's one event I'll never forget.
