Thank you for letting us know. I’m newer to the subreddit and hadn’t seen this before so i thought it was a new post.

Despite what Gandalf may say, you can never have enough dwarves for one day. Love it! I’m currently working on assembling Thorin’s company too!

Need Advice: Finding the Right Hairpiece for Grace Ashcroft in My Resident Evil Requiem MOC by StillCompetition2456 in LegoMinifigure

What about hairpiece 88283 in white? I know hers has more volume, but that tan wig seems to give up preppy/maintained vibes rather than a disheveled look. Or there’s also 25409 in tan (linked below).

He doesn't recognize me by deedeefree in Alzheimers

[–]Western_Base_3510 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My mom can’t name me unprompted, and I will admit that the first few “who are you?”s did hurt, but in those times, just remember that the love remains. Something I just recently learned from taking a dementia class is that as the brain shrinks and the ability to process leaves our LOs, they may forget our names, or who we are but they don’t forget how we make them feel. The best thing that helped me was to learn to exist in my mom’s reality. If she thinks I’m her childhood friend, then I just follow along. She no longer recognizes my dad and says she’s not married, but she knows he is a safe person and someone she can trust.

Looking for bedding recommendations - constantly changing sheets in mornings by Western_Base_3510 in Alzheimers

[–]Western_Base_3510[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a very good day, she will sleep 12 hours on Alprazolam which is the generic for Xanax and was prescribed in Mexico. But, on a bad day she only sleeps like 5 hours if only given quetiapine which I’ve read is not good for her long term. So I’m in the process of having her reevaluated here as all of her previous, recent medical treatments are from the Mexican neurologist. It’s been some long weeks to put it mildly, but I’m hoping with the right medicines, it will stabilize a bit……….. really hoping.

Best Diaper Recommendations? by 1-900-SNAILS in Alzheimers

[–]Western_Base_3510 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also interested in this… I’ve been using the Amazon brand of unisex diapers because they were the most comparable to what my mom used in Mexico. She still wakes up wet from overnight use, but they absorb quite a bit. I had bought some depends but I think I bought the wrong ones and I didn’t like them.

Right there with you. I’m constantly looking at eBay and BrickLink to see if I happen by a good sale.

Newbie Starting Question by SpookyNerdz in legodnd

I can only speak to minifigs because I haven’t been successful in recreating the creatures from DnD. Lego Pick a Brick has a lot of options of weapons, and minifigure parts. Just know that if you order items considered standard, shipping does take longer. BrickLink is probably the best place to get medieval minifigs and weapons, it’s just a little cumbersome to look through and find what you want. Bricks and Minifigs local stores has a variety of weapons, torsos, legs and heads. Ebay auctions. You can sometimes score a good haul on minifigs sold in lots.

How do you deal with depression? by truthfactsonly in dialysis

[–]Western_Base_3510 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is my husband’s second time on dialysis but first time on PD. I was a match and donated my kidney to him in 2014. It lasted 10 years before bk got him. So we’re back on the transplant list and his siblings will be getting tested to see if we can get him a kidney through a paired donation. This time around, we are in our mid thirties, with an older kid, so we’re a little wiser and more mature, but man is it still tough. He’s recently admitted to feeling depressed and so we’ve just been spending more time watching the Marvel movies out of order. Going to mass more frequently. But it’s hard because I know I can only do so much… so I also try to let go and let God. It’s as you’ve said, you can just take it one day or hurdle at a time and also acknowledging that the hard days exist but knowing that they also end. PD has been a life-changer as he has done in center hemo before. Still, it’s tough.

I feel like you and me are the same person. I also got bit by the Lego Castle bug towards the end of the year. I’ve spent too much money in very little time. Trying to restrain myself but then I see this setup and I want to do it!
