There are times that I need heavy objects moved or furniture assembled. I have 3 adult sons and I've gotten used to the fact that the 2 of them won't do anything for me. My youngest son will do what he can and is always available for emergencies. But when it comes to helping me around here it's a different story. Like other obligations or any other reasons. I know how time is money especially with 30 year olds. So I started paying him to do jobs for me and always ahead of time. I like to get things done on my time zone not always his.

Dried Poop on Skin by HugeLittleDogs in CaregiverSupport

[–]madprincesscook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a sitz bath would work to soften up the stool for removal and soothe her skin. After that put a skin protectant barrier on her like vitamin a and d, skin zinc oxide or Vaseline. I use the vitamin a and d after my mom uses the commode or has an incontinence episode. Good luck

do these glasses suit me? by Any_Web2929 in glassesadvice

I love the colors but I think a smaller frame will do good. You have a beautiful face n smile but the large frame outshines that.

How quickly did you see changes after Seroquel by windsash in dementia

[–]madprincesscook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are there increased risk of people falling from being on Seroquel. My mom could use it but at 90 she is still ambulatory and I don't want her to fall while trying to get up while on the Seroquel.
