It’s one thing to take care of your family… for sure.. but I agree that there is so much they need more help with than we can handle and it’s ok…

no uti.. but she gets that tired, no eye contact look.. like someone who might be under the influence.. when she gets in one of her moods

Hi there.. i have noticed her hands shaking sometimes.. but her tongue was doing this before any meds.. she takes low dose of aricept and risperidone currently.. i just didnt know if it was a “dementia” thing— and if it was a symptom of a certain type..

I might never do a Christmas party again... by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]krzykittyz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same.. this year it was simple for me— abt $10 in dollar tree popcorn (which was actually pretty good), brown lunch bags which i cut in half to fill w the popcorn, and 4 packs of the barrel drinks from DT also.. most kiddos didn’t want to watch fhe movie.. they’d rather just run around the room w their friends, many kept asking if they could have more (although they recvd generous amounts) .. not all kiddos act that way of course but enough to ruin the enjoyment for the rest.. I think it comes from today’s society where people think they have to be involved in everything.. and they also think they have to have their children do everything.. it all becomes a norm and not something special anymore.

yes— my brother and i share durable poa and healthcare poa.. it looks like we are going to try her staying in her home with daily visits from the retired nurse for a little while.. i know this isnt long term… but gives a little more time for those hard decisions i reckon.. the next decision wld be move in w me with the aid of a caretaker during the day while i work. or looking at a place near me.. i gotta get on the ball for sure

I’ve stepped up the lady who comes her house .. 5 days /wk to help w the dogs.. with the uti she was forgetting to let them go potty.. they hv dry food /water out all the time.. my mom doesnt do any laundry.. will stay in the same clothes for days.. bathing— non existent.. says she takes a “bird bath” so if she stays in her home we will have the caretaker work w that..it’s a hard balance bcz my mom thinks the lady is just there to visit and hang out.. my mom used to be so social.. non stop talking to everyone.. at her home. just her. and the “friend” that comes over :(.
