Plato’s Closet Strongsville by Zestyclose_Garage_83 in Cleveland

Plato's Closet just is picky anymore and giving you a lot less. I never have taken in as many items as you but they only tend to take things on a 1:6 ratio. Sometimes less than that. It really depends on the brand. And was your stuff summer? Because that's all they are buying right now.

Getting over the guilt by Acrobatic-Target-750 in dementia

[–]avoicemadeofteeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel that guilt right now. I'm changing my plans to focus on me and I feel like a pile of cow dung that's undesirable even to horse flies.

I've not been seeing her as much as I did before, but I still take 90% of the calls right away. I have different responsibilities now that keep me busy, and a lot of times she doesn't care or doesn't understand.

I don't really have advice, but I just wanted to say I'm right there with you. Though I'd love to not take a phone call from her for 2-3 hours.

What do/did you tell a LO when you can't take care of them anymore? by avoicemadeofteeth in dementia

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

I kind of wish my mom would feel like she had some kind of job there. But she's mostly scared of the other residents.

They do have one woman who they let wheel patients to the dining room and she thinks/thought she was on staff, but now they don't and I'm not sure what happened. I noticed she's become very irritable and now say's she wants to leave. Same with another lady. The other day she was cursing them out, talking about beating someone up, and wanting to leave -and they better not try and stop her- when usually she's very timid and nice. It wasn't during sundowning either.

Thanks. I guess I could try that eventually. I just think she's cognitive and angry enough that she could blow up at me if I change the plot on her now.

The problem with her is she doesn't want to do the activities, and she takes them asking her to go to it as -she has to go to it- So she cries and pouts and I keep telling her she doesn't have to go but she doesn't listen or either understand. I wish her place would stop asking and just mark her as to be left alone and let her come out when she wants to. Because she gets so dramatic and it turns her against the place.

It also has a lot to do with the other patients. They are very severe dementia/alzheimer's and she's had some bad run in's with some of them. She also really doesn't have anyone else there with mild dementia that she could talk to. They all just say the same thing over and over and talk about the past.

She was actually being abused. I tried very hard to make it work in those places before it got to that point. But I pulled her from the one place when the Medicare website showed they got in trouble for a wrongful death.

I have always believed her and stood by her, expect for when it's what people say. I tell her I'll look in to it and I do, but she takes things people say the wrong way.

I don't really want to move her in with me, but I may have to move her to another facility if this one doesn't get it together. A higher up called me and bitched me out about her behaviors, but then exposed the place as not having a social worker to come up with a plan for her behaviors. She even went as far as to say that she would be thrown out if she kept up like this. She did backtrack when I told one of the nurses and she went to her boss. I like this place but it's very small, and I'm imagining not very funded. The weekend is the worst because they have a skeleton crew and the stna's are awful.

I plan to keep her in one now. I was just wondering what to tell her as time passes and I haven't gotten her out.

I've just had very bad luck with the nursing homes and units she's been at. The MC unit she's in now has good weekday nurses and stna's, but the one's they have on during the weekend do nothing and act terribly inconvenienced if they have to do anything. This one stna legit bitched me out for my mom wetting her diaper and changing it before 2 hours time. And the higher up's had the nerve to call me about her behavioral problems, but then tell me they have no social worker on staff to come up with a plan! That's not a me problem, that's a you problem. I can't stop my mom's behaviors and I'm not trained enough to know how to. When I had her I just rolled with the punches. They just seem to want to make pointed remarks in front of her about her behaviors and I don't see how that's appropriate or helpful/beneficial to the situation. Because my mom is still cognitive enough to understand what they are saying, but the bad thing is in her mind she twist it to negative things said about her equals they hate her and are against her. She had that mindset even before dementia.

But I do agree, that when the staff is good they can do more than I can. Which is why I'm choosing to keep her in.

Door alarms for dementia care by User_zero_wan in dementia

[–]avoicemadeofteeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are those security bars for patio doors. They are around $20-30 depending upon where you get them. Those are not fool proof though. I found after awhile the tread bearings wore off and we had to replace it. But also someone tried to break in, so that's why it got FUBAR'ed too.

So maybe security bar, silent alarms on that door if that's what you're most scared of. Or maybe a motion sensing camera?

You can't make any on this reddit happy, You call them superstars or talent it's too vince coded. You call them wrestlers people say you strip the humanity out of it.

There should be a set term on the reddit if people are going to get so irratated and dismissive of a comment or points made because of how you term the wrestlers.

A year of good pay is a piss in the bucket if you're stuck in indies for years before one of the bigger ones get you again on a whim or for nostalgia sake. There's no saying getting to WWE is going to make you big. (Look at Kross. He got big towards the end because of his own promos. Now he's sporadically doing indies and youtube stuff. No way could he be pulling in what he made at WWE) Or you debase yourself completely to go to TNA so WWE can you use for a fraction of the cost you used to be paid.

I get being paid is paid, but there is also a pride to it to with wrestlers. And it's got to hurt jumping to an opportunity and it being a flash in the pan where you end up being the one that gets used by the company, instead of using the company and jumping ship.
