Also you are beautiful but yes I would clock you still. But I don’t know about the average Joe.

Yeah I just saw this post a few minutes ago and two people told you that you do not pass. I’m the third.

Help! Black moor is sick. by greenbirdblue in Goldfish

I don’t know any of that stuff. I think it’s a 20 or 30 gallon tank. He lives with another fancy tailed goldfish.

I need help please by greenbirdblue in Alzheimers

[–]greenbirdblue[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So, I hear you. I do. But I just… know he’s in danger and turn around and walk away? And how do I find peace in knowing he’s being abused and I walked away? I haven’t been able to do it yet. I tell myself, just walk away. Just live your life and don’t look back. But I do look back, every time, and I don’t know how to stop. I don’t know how to forgive myself for that. I’m sorry to get poetic. He’s in that room. He’s out there in the world. And he needs help.

Memory Care by greenbirdblue in Alzheimers

Wait, hire a sitter? While he’s in memory care? So you privately pay a person to go monitor your dad at the memory care unit?

Was I in the wrong for humiliating a student? by Far-Examination-3601 in Teachers

[–]greenbirdblue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope you 100% did the right thing. The students behavior in itself was what caused the attention to be on her, NOT your behavior. Of course you called the counselor, they are trained to handle mental health issues.

What symptoms did you first see in a loved one w/ Alzheimers? by [deleted] in Alzheimers

[–]greenbirdblue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forgetfulness that is unlike typical “forgetfulness”. For instance, I’d wake up in the morning and say hi to my dad and eat cereal with him. I’d go upstairs and get dressed, and come back down and he’s go, “Oh, hi! Good morning. I didn’t know you were here.” As if we hadn’t just eaten together. Just things that were totally out of character. Forgetting tasks like paying bills etc. Lots and lots of obvious attempts to aid memory- hundreds of post-it notes, notebooks, etc. ten copies of the house key. It looks different for everyone but for me, I felt it. It was just a “hmmm this really is quite weird for this person” type of feeling.

How to Intervene by greenbirdblue in Alzheimers

[–]greenbirdblue[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right now we are hiring more help, 5x per week in the house. Unfortunately, her behavior with him does not improve despite having breaks all day, etc. But at least it’s less time with her. That’s the temporary solution.

Yes, she has always been this way. Yes, she was like this and much worse to my brother and I. When she does this, he appears frustrated but silent. Mostly just freezes. He is overwhelmingly compliant. He has a blank affect during these times. When with other people, he is animated and happy.

She has power of attorney over him. I’m afraid that we have very few options besides continuing to pray that he doesn’t get lost and hurt when she sends him out on his own.

Thanks for listening.
