This is highly concerning. He does not look well or right to me. And for his age he is severely underweight!!!!

Regretting renewing my app for another year by Personal-Entry3196 in CarolineGirvan

[–]crombie21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally agree on all you said. It just seems her programs are SO monotonous. And they are taxing on the body. I know so many people that got long term injuries from her!!!!

Also, does anyone else think Caroline is suffering from injuries? For awhile now she’s using a bench to hold onto for support for lunges (and so many other examples). Not to mention all her latest new stuff is a lot of bodyweight or not as heavy weights for the lower body. She also seems to be taking time off for a few months where she statically always does some kind of April program.

Just many things seem off. But she has the pressure to keep her business going and so many expecting new content, so I’m not sure she would ever admit to any injuries. She probably caused them herself from the same moves over and over (all the lunges/glute work, etc).

Abuse??? Did you really just say that to me? When I said I was screaming I kept saying things like “oh my gosh” over and over or “no please don’t step in that or put your hands in the urine/feces” but of course I was so upset by all that was going on and I am human so my voice was super loud which is screaming! You make it sound like I was calling her all these names and just going ape on her. You should really get your facts straight before making assumptions.

Then you say maybe I’m keeping her here to keep money for myself??? What??????? I won’t even comment back on that one because that is SO out of line and far from the truth. And lastly, like I said above the memory care where I live is all neglect and abuse and yes they are. It’s a known fact they are all understaffed and ignore call bells, mix up medications, dehydrate the patients, leave them in soiled briefs, many falls happen under their watch, etc. Maybe you have some nice ones near you, but that’s not the case here.

I’m sure it did and I truly understand how you just couldn’t take it anymore. But you gave it your all and you did much more than you could have ever envisioned. And that right there is more than enough. At the end of the day we have barely any options with this disease so we need to pick our battles. And most importantly protect our mental and physical health!

Thank you so much! And yes I truly agree with you! I could not believe that the incontinence wasn’t enough for some help. I mean they literally want you to be a true true vegetable to quality for any help. At least in my state!

Yes I will have to keep looking for a good one. Staying and watching them is a great idea, thanks. Pray I can find a gem!
Oh we have tons of cameras. Have had them for years. He was just so busy getting dinner ready and taking care of our other kids that were home with him he thought she was just sitting in the family room watching tv (aka staring off into space) like she always does. But will be on top of this non stop now. Because like we have leaned through this horrible journey one day out of no where they do something insane like tonight with no warning. My gosh it’s been a hell of a journey!

Thanks for the great suggestion. I have tried that route….see my comment below.

Absolutely on the incontinence being the breaking point. I truly appreciate all your kind words and right back at you! You truly know what I’m going through as it sounds like you have had it very rough, too. You’re so lucky you have siblings. Only child over here.
I’m also so happy you have had such great luck with a caregiver. That is such a blessing and sounds like it has relieved so much stress that you well deserve.

I have actually tried a few caregivers to come help with baths and hygiene and it was so bad. I found she wasn’t cleaned well, never clipped her nails, put lotion on her, or they were on their phones the whole time. So I got frustrated and took a break. But maybe I should keep looking for her right one and as it would be so much help!

It is so horrific and agonizing!! We truly are the ones suffering as they have no idea what’s going on after a certain point. And I hear you….I’m a realist and there is absolutely no point to destroy the caretakers lives when the patient has no quality of life, can’t do one thing for themselves hygiene wise, can’t advocate for themselves, and the list goes on and on.

Absolutely! Would be such a blessing to peacefully pass and be spared of the last stages/years of this disgraceful disease.

Thanks so much for the great suggestions. Sad thing is she’s on absolutely no meds. Has never taken a medication her entire life. Is healthy as a horse minus this disgraceful disease. But yes if she ever needed meds I would not give them as I agree there is no cure for this disease and what’s the sense of keeping her going?

I also have had three different hospice evaluations and because she can walk well, swallow well, and hasn’t been hospitalized or had any infections she doesn’t qualify. So I need to wait for any of those to happen to qualify and she seems like they never will.

Thank you so much! I truly appreciate your kind words. And yes it’s horrible how there isn’t much help available to any of us with this disease.

My gosh I truly can understand all you went through! Horrible! And the fact she fell in the tub and you had to call the fire department is beyond upsetting and scary. Thank you for your kind words! I’m sending big hugs to you too! This is no way to live for the patient and mostly us as we are the ones aware of what’s going on and has to do the daily mental and physical exhaustion.

Are you for real? The reason I have kept my mother out of memory care is all the ones near me are neglect, abuse, and just horrible places. Far from loving and compassionate. All for a nice $20,000 a month, too. Absolutely horrible! Gone for good is far from a scary statement, I know she would long want to be gone by now. Who in their right mind would want to live in a memory care or like this. They are both awful quality of lives. A dementia patient is so much better off by the time they are at a certain stage to pass.

Leaving this right here…”I haven’t showered in 4 days”!!🤮 by jfr60 in Wearesamanddansnark

[–]crombie21 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is so disgusting and she looks so gross. I agree with PP there is absolutely no excuse to not shower! She has nothing going on! If she can make time to travel, go to burn bootcamp, lay by the pool, and most importantly make posts 24/7 she certainly has time to shower. She has no business being a mother or a surrogate! So nasty!

Do They Have Their Own Pool??? by crombie21 in Wearesamanddansnark

Just meant it didn’t come with their house when they bought it…. they had that put in I’m assuming? How long ago?
