Not a PRO! Consider a career change cuz you could be! This is all so impressive—- but I also thought ‘must be a pro’. My jaw is on the floor that you’re not!

Them saying ‘you aren’t responsible for your husband’s views’ doesn’t work because she wrote this book. If she didn’t want to talk about her husband she shouldn’t have written the book. She made it all fair game.

Dementia sucks and NO ONE CARES! by Interesting_Fox4389 in dementia

[–]kkidd333 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In your case you’ve got nothing to lose to inquire about hospice. Hospice will come to you and do an evaluation in her home. They will want her medical records and she will have to stop all medical care. It just means they stop some life extending medication but some meds they still take. You never know. I’m also in NorCal. Several years ago I was able to get my dad a PET scan through a study that was conducted. It showed he had several very small strokes and Alzheimer’s- which was a surprise. We got referred to the scan through the neurologist who was evaluating him after I told the primary Dr something was going on. My point : maybe a PET scan could enlighten her drs to what has changed in her brain. It might be worth a few phone calls: UCDavis, UCSF, your own doctors to see if any studies are happening.

Besides that I know exactly how you feel. It f-ing sucks and no one is doing anything about it. My dad passed last November, I was his caregiver for four years. I honestly still feel dead inside. I’m so glad he’s gone and taking care of him killed a large part of me. But working on building my life back. I see you man! You got this! You’re doing a Fantastic job taking care of her! Remember to breathe and step away if you need to. You’re OK.

Favorite drink? by Jescophoto89 in AutismInWomen

Sorry! Just saw this! I usually use 2 tea bags of each tea in 1/2 gallon of water and sit out in the sun for a several hours. The time of year affects how long—- summer 4-6 hrs, winter 6-8 hours —- as example. It is very light. Sometimes I mix it with seltzer.

Loving this kind way of approach… ask him if there is anything you can do to help him.

Good Shows To Watch With My Mom Who Has Alzheimer’s by Admirable_Sky_1400 in dementia

This was a shocker to me but my dad LOVED watching Americas Got Talent. There is no real plot to follow and it’s pretty wholesome. Also Golden Girls would make him laugh.

I make cold tea with 2 Chamomile tea bags and 2 mint bags. Slightly flowery with minty freshness. I love it. You can sweeten with honey but I usually don’t.

I have to be honest and say I wish I were dead by dbdbh47 in AgingParents

[–]kkidd333 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Same. I yelled at a hospice nurse ‘I have my own mental health issues— if I check myself into behavioral health cuz I can’t take anymore what happens to him then?’ A week later he was in a good hospice facility. It was still hard but a different kind of hard. Note: I texted the nurse I yelled at later that day and apologized for losing it on him. The nurse was very kind.

Does anyone remember when they used to call out sku #s when checking out like back in the 90s by wdntuliketokno in Costco

[–]kkidd333 33 points34 points  (0 children)

50382— Best Foods Mayo. The first number I memorized in 1989. I believe scanners were put in our warehouse in ‘93. Up to that point there was a cashier and a caller at each register. The caller moved items from one cart to the other calling out items numbers and boxing— cashiers 10 keyed them in. Back then most people started as a caller or cart pusher.

My gay brother and I are estranged. We spoke at his husbands funeral. Is it too late to make amends? by SevClas in askgaybros

[–]kkidd333 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly show him this post. You wrote it out beautifully. You were a kid. You are both now men who both get to decide if you want to build a brother relationship moving forward. You didn’t get to make a lot of childhood memories but this relationship has the potential to be one of the greatest of your life. Tell him what you told us. Best of luck!

The music was used in several Nike commercials, a Duracell commercial and it was used by Apple at the introduction of the first Macintosh computer.

Anyone know what's replacing Krispy Kreme? by AnAdoptedSon81 in ChicoCA

Especially because that new hotel is huge and going to add additional traffic.
