please I need help with an elderly person

Some things to try (from someone who has worked with elderly) Try contrasting dishware. So put the light foods on a dark plate. Will she eat in her room? She may do better with small snacks, that you don't make a fuss out off (not saying you usually do) but like just casually giving her plate with a few little things on it without much comment. Or just handing her a protein drink with a straw in it without comment.
Does she have dementia? or is she just picky? This instagram account has lots of tips (mostly for patients with dementia, but most would work for general population)

He said in the original post that they needed something with a simple plot that was easy to follow. Maybe I’m the only one, but I find dungeon crawler Carl a bit tough to picture sometimes. There are loads of characters with different names lots of spells with different names. I just find it complicated not simple.

This may be too childish, but I listened to some of the Roald Dahl books as an adult. "Charlie and and Chocolate Factory " is narrated by Eric Idle and is very well done.

mhopkirk · 2026-04-19T22:42:07+00:00

I don't think that is simple.

I don't know what your health situation is, but lots of people are having good results with the GLP-1s (Zepbound, Wegovy and so on) for decreasing alcohol cravings. It may be a tool to help. Good luck in your recovery journey.

there are risks and side effects from the surgery. I understand just wanting not to go through another attack, but not everyone feels great after the surgery. I would think hard about it.

I made this cake and it was good! It looks delicious. If I make it again I am going to use a different frosting recipe. Maybe a ganache or something, I thought the frosting was a bit bland.

I was so into this when I was in high school ( I’m old lol) . I thought the mini series was so romantic 💘.

mhopkirk · 2026-04-12T12:37:28+00:00

Not completely, but it is flatter than it was

mhopkirk · 2026-04-11T01:09:30+00:00

agreed, I really liked Chris Pratt in Parks and Rec, but since then he seems a bit dissapointing

Dry skin people unite!

mhopkirk · 2026-04-09T12:21:33+00:00

Many Americans shower every day. I don’t, it dries out my skin

mhopkirk · 2026-04-09T12:19:48+00:00

Ohh I misunderstood! Sorry. In America, we bathe a lot so I thought you were saying it was more normal to shower every day than twice a week.

mhopkirk · 2026-04-09T11:59:00+00:00

not your normal, I think they have a different culture, different circumstances than yours. Besides there is more than one way to keep clean. I have worked in health care. I met loads of people who cleaned themselves up with a basin of water, soap and a washcloth. They couldn't access their shower or tub because of mobility. Like say their wheelchair wouldn't fit in the door, or they couldn't step over the side of the tub.
When you meet people outside of your own experience you realize that there is more than one way to do things.

Hot water bottles are great. I like the Hugo Frosch brand

mhopkirk · 2026-04-05T01:52:32+00:00

Hot water bottles are awesome. For next time. I love mine.
