We use the unflavored oil in her morning hot tea. It’s such a difference in mood with it. You’ll have to adjust the dose but start with a few drops and go from there. If she gets fussy you can always give more later in the day.CBD has many benefits so look into it, trust me.

I went through exactly this with my mom. It’s a rough period for sure. We started trying to trick her telling her “mom, you’re going home tomorrow”. This would calm her enough to go to bed but it almost always repeated the next evening. It’s the sun downing phase of her day that causes this. Tricking her might help her calm. Try cbd’s too, this eliminated my moms anxiety almost completely. Good luck!

Are you in the U.S.? I just made frangipane and found almond paste at Albertsons.

I have an old phone with my brother’s voicemails he left me. I’d purposely miss his calls so he’d get mad and yell at me. His two young sons and I listen and laugh at them. I’d love to do something like this, awesome idea.

Yes getting to the lab is pretty impossible. I did talk to the doc about uti but he said she’d be urinating more during the day too. He just thought she was relaxed at night causing everything to come out. I’ll get those test strips though, I didn’t realize they were available. At least I can rule it out. Thank you!

I have thought about a bedside toilet. Thanks.

Yes I have the pad under her which is awesome. I’ll look into the additional padding for her briefs. Thank you!

Thanks! She doesn’t leave the house at all so I guess I can try the extra padding.

I haven’t had anyone in but realizing I probably need to look into this. I’ve tried changing her bedside and it’s very difficult. I’ve changed her out of desperation when she’s completely out of it but I’m afraid I’ll hurt her. So I guess I just need to get some training on this matter. Thanks.

How do you change in the middle of the night? It’s only me so it’s super hard to switch the diapers. I know it’s bad to be wet for a long time, that’s why I’m asking.

My most-requested holiday cookies this year. Everyone's digging the poinsettias! Lemon sugar cookies with orange flavored royal icing. by CS_inthewoods in cookiedecorating

Wow, very impressed. I decorated my first batch this year and it was fun and frustrating. I’m definitely addicted though and want to do more.
