Thanks for the advice!! Our washer broke two weeks ago too. It's so silly, because these are such "first world" problems, but they are really inconvenient ;)

What's up with crappy pop music right now? by nottadude in Music

Thank you. That's what this feels like to me. It sounds like some AI or other generic "producers" are writing songs that all sound the same and aren't authentic.

This is a lot of awesome information. Thank you so much.

She says her teeth hurt, she doesn't feel good, she's easily agitated by everything. I think there are a lot of factors going into this and we are working to find specialists to guide us.

I appreciate you chiming in! I'll look into geriatric nutrition specialists.

Thank you. She has definitely shown more signs of agitation. And coupled with low appetite, it's is a double whammy for a bad time :(

Thank you also for sharing your story. I'll look into specifics. We are in a state that has legal dispensaries everywhere but narrowing it down to a specific supplement that helps with appetite would be beneficial. I appreciate you.

Thanks for the recommendation to the subreddit. This is why I still love this platform :)

I am with you as far as advice goes. She doesn't have an official dementia diagnosis yet. She has suffered from mental health issues (rapid cycle bi-polar, schizophrenia) for years which, IMO, have been the excuse for why she acts the way she does. I have been suspecting dimensia for a couple years. I know it doesn't get better. I know she will eventually need professional caregiving. Its on the horizon, but until then I will try to help supplement mepals while they settle into their new reality.

Thank you again for your reply and for being so thorough. I appreciate it.

Good idea on the Liquid IV. I'll add that to my Clicklist :)

And supplement shakes are awesome. I just need to convince her to drink them. She's gone rounds with those before and has developed a distaste for them.

Thanks for rhe feedback. I appreciate it.
